Kitchen Designers & Renovators in Akaroa, Canterbury

“I'm very delayed writing this review as we've taken a while to put flooring down and sort the tiling (hence our project date of last year) however, you will not regret choosing Kiwi Kitchens! Here’s our story… Our house is a 1950’s renovation project with rammed earth and cement walls (none of which were very straight!) and everything was in pretty ‘original’ but functional condition. We have lived here for over 13 years and a new kitchen and laundry has been on the list for a long time. The day I decided to go and start looking at kitchen companies, I just happened drive into town from Halswell so came in at the top of Blenheim Road. With no particular itinerary in mind, I just saw the Kiwi Kitchens sign & pulled in - my first (and subsequently last) stop. From the minute I met Janice I just knew we would be in good hands. With Janice’s warmth and knowledge, I instinctively knew it was the kitchen company for us, and needless to say, I didn’t go to any other businesses for quotes. Not that we had money to burn but I just felt listened to and comfortable with absolutely NO hard sell. For me, another immediate deal-maker was it was a long-established, hands-on, family run business, rather than a large organisation with sub-contractors and high staff turnover. The exceptional personal service I received from; the lovely Debbie their designer, fantastic Janice - who was always free to take my calls or answer my endless email questions, and talented, chilled singing Joe who did the complete installation and nothing was ever a problem. Trust, integrity and accuracy is how I’d sum them up. Even down to little comments I’d made about some quirky ideas I had and mentioned random things I liked when Debbie came to see the space, unbeknown to me was all noted to be discussed when we went to see the designs - that’s called ‘giving a damn’! I can go on and on but we cannot recommend the team highly enough, truly. We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen and laundry and wouldn’t change one single thing. We still have some things to finish but it’s put the enjoyment back in food prep and cooking. Thank-you so so much Kiwi Kitchens!”

“immediately greeted and given professional advise and within 3 days I had new kitchen plans in a 3D format so I was visually able to see my dream kitchen come to life. This had me sold. Pieta was so friendly, helpful and professional with great ideas and I immediately felt I was in good hands. From start to finish the team were attentive, put my mind at ease and helped everything come to life. The product is outstanding. It took 3 months for it to arrive from Germany and there were updates all the way , so it is very true when they say “all good things come to those that wait” It was certainly worth it. The installation by Blair was second to none, he worked tirelessly by himself to get it installed pulling some very long hours to get the job done. I highly recommend Palazzo kitchens to anyone that wants their dreams to come true with an exceptional product and experience made easy.”

“I very highly recommend Swift Designs. A whole house interior renovation where nothing was left untouched, a 3D model that allowed us to see the design from its initial stages right through to completion also gathering quotes from builders down to the flooring. Every aspect of the property from flooring to lighting, kitchen to bathrooms, lounge and family room to bedrooms, taps to plug points, paint colours to kitchen door handles, all inclusive. Then onto couches, tables, drapes, blinds. The list goes on. The amazing home it has become is down to you and your team Treena, I can’t thank you enough. Then being a finalist in the TIDA kitchen design awards….wow…. You’ve stayed with me on this journey and there’s still more to do, I can’t wait..Andy”
