🎄 Christmas & New Year Opening Hours 🎄

Meri Kirihimete and warm wishes from all of us at Turning Point.

Seven days till Christmas!

As we move into the holiday period, we’ll be taking a short pause over Christmas and New Year, with some reduced opening hours in between. Please check the photo for specific dates and times.

“Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa”
Let us keep close together, not far apart.

Ngā mihi nui to our whaiora and whaikaha, whānau, kaimahi and supporters for walking alongside us this year. We wish you a safe, restful and peaceful festive season.

✨ Meri Kirihimete me ngā manaakitanga ✨
