Countdown Wainuiomata

Big new Countdown, typically much more expensive than their competitors, but they do have a comprehensive range of food and groceries.

Gr8 place to shop now that I know the layout of the store. Things are easy to find. The staff are friendly and helpful and even in an isolated community like Wainuiomata the shelves seem well stock and fresh

A pleasure to shop in this store. Fresh produce and well stocked. Friendly staff, great parking facilities.

More than compensating for their delapidated and about-to-be-replaced building, the staff at this Countdown supermarket are invariably friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive and the range of goods and stock levels generally very good. Features a superb bakery, with a variety of mouth-watering treats always on offer!

Who opens a supermarket in the morning with no bread in the shop . It's all out the back waiting for a company merchandiser to come in sometime during the day ??? I got told this by the supervisor who thought filling chewing gum is far more important. Anyway I have to stay in the shop .I'm not allowed out the back she says . Hopeless before the new store ,Hopeless in the new store .

Convenient with good parking.Never enough tills open and prices not that competitive

Had a minor inconvenience with some moulded tortilla wraps, but I took it back, I got a new one with not charge and a full refund no questions asked

Always find the prices here very high and service not so great. Attempted to use a voucher but checkout operator did not know how to put it through nor did they seek help from colleagues, just told me I could not use it so instead I had to use it at Petone Countdown. So frustrating, will stick to going elsewhere.

A well appointed supermarket that has most everything you need. It even stocks higher end items you might not expect from Wainuiomata. Four star as their trolley maintenance is poor (2019) and consequently are sometimes wobbly and bent.

The good: it has new clean layout that needs to get used to. Looks great and highlights the raise of Wainuiomata status.Who designed the disabled car park spots? Who saw the design and thought: Yeah put the disabled spots for parking uncovered so they get wet in the rain".The parking for picking up online orders is covered! The cars parked there when I was visiting they we're not for picking up any online orders! The online orders should have queue forming NOT permanent parking spots!Parking spots been now updated slightly wider and clearly marked.The smooth concrete outside been roughed up bit so won't be slippery but the yellow tiles for the eyesight impaired people are failing and getting loose.While we brought the subject of inside. Who thought the bakery is good idea to be crammed like an afterthought beside the deli? Missed opportunity to be true patisserie in addition to bakery. The alcohol section is the biggest section though.The car park coming along nicely. Wide enough with good layout. The zebra crossing in frond of countdown entrance is not marked as pedestrian priority."
