First time visiting and enjoyed it. Greeted on arrival and very attentive staff. $15 for a burger & fries, definitely a special I won’t go without. Instantly felt like I was in a hotel, with the high ceilings and vintage decor. I liked it. Will be back.
Nice place with a good ambiance. Food was delish with a well-sized serving. I loved the live music at the background. Superb customer service too!.. will definitely be back.
I really like this chain of restaurants. The environment is good, it’s good for families, friends, co-workers. The food selection is pretty good and their wine is reasonably priced.
The chicken and cranberry salad was pretty good as were the delish chippies.
All in all can’t really fault.
Oh, maybe table service for drinks would be good...... other than that, great catch up spot.
Great little hidden spot in onehunga, a little bit off the main mall strip, lovely atmosphere staff are super nice. Heaps of good seating also has a cool little play area
This place is lovely. I would say a hidden gem in onehunga as its off the main strip of the mall.
Place is kid friendly with a mean park outside for the kids. Staff are attentive and friendly too. Food was delicious. Plenty of off street parking at night time.
Great pub/restaurant at the bottom of Onehunga Mall. Friendly staff and great selection of food and drinks. Loved the indoor and outdoor flow with a little play areas for the kids at the bottom. Plenty of car parking outside. Great place to relax and grab a meal or a drink.
Love this place! It’s staff are super friendly, the atmosphere is amazing and it’s kid friendly! There’s a great playground outside. It opens at 11am and I kind of wish it opened earlier. I know it runs late but sometimes I want an early coffee and love this place so much!
This has become favourite local family catch up place. The playground keeps the kids entertained for ages, the food is pretty tasty (Cambridge pizza & fried chicken are our fav's) the house wine (Kopiko Bay) is really tasty and the staff have definitely improved since opening. It's hopping on a Friday with live music and always good for brunch. Although one of the more $$ places in Onehunga is definitely worth a visit.
We’ve been there once and loved it. The coffee was amazing and the pizza and fries we shared were hot and fresh. Very friendly staff and I didn’t want to leave!
I've just moved to Onehunga and am trying out the local places - Good Home has a big outdoor deck which is super nice on a sunny day. I've been both during the day and at night and they're quite different experiences. Daytime feels chilled, kids on the playground, beers on the deck. Night time was a more chaotic, really busy, lots of people and the music really loud. The food is yum, on the pricey side but you do get good sized portions. Service all good. I'll be back!
Good ambiance loved the plants and the books available.
Food arrived quickly and the Roast Duck pizza was amazing, truffle macaroni and triple cheese is highly recommended.
My first time here and it won’t be my last! Good was AMAZING! Went with a big group and not one complaint. My missing rating is due to staff. We were there for almost 40mins until someone came to give us menus. Apart from wait staff, the Manager was awesome and I guess made up for them. Must eat here again!
We decided to pop in for a late lunch on a wet Friday afternoon and what a lovely place to while away a few hours with a book from their little library. Outstanding building and decor, the designers have made a beautiful dining space with gorgeous decorations and the loos are spectacular. The staff were nice and the dishes arrived very quickly, my partners chicken Kale Super salad was ok, but my Jerusalem Harvest Salad was delicious, and the chef was happy to swap some of the potatoes for a small fresh salad of lovely dark greens with dark purple/black cherry tomatoes. Yum.

What a great setting for a summers evening, we love sitting outside in the huge outdoor area watching the sun go down while sipping away on a wine.
Great selection of beers and wines, each week night they have something happening too.
Karage Chicken is my go to on the food menu!
Four of us headed to The Good Home, Onehunga on a Friday early evening. What a neat spot. Admittedly we were there before the 6.00 pm rush hour but everything was highly efficient - the service was quick and the whiskey sours were great and quickly helped put a smile on the faces of some of work-weary group. The food arrived promptly - the burgers got big thumbs up from the boys. One of the girls went for the bangers and mash and raved about it. The other went for one of the salads and wished she'd gone for the bangers and mash! Her fault - stop being all girly salady! Very impressed with this new addition to a part of town that's crying out for some good, fun eating spots. The Good Home, Onehunga sets the standard nice and high.
A beautiful setting, with shelves of great literature for everyone to choose from. The outside area is lush with green plants, and a balcony over looking the street. Contrasting this is the modern music that plays at just the right level in the background. There are TV's displaying the rugby game. This is a place for the whole family.
The food was delicious. I would recommend the Marton pizza. The wedges were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dessert, a brownie with ice cream was a perfect finish. Prices are reasonable and the food is quality.
You can split the bill and staff are friendly. Bathrooms are clean and tidy.
Went into a food coma after having the rib eye. Asked for it to be done medium - over charted on the outside. Didn't ruin the taste but certainly not a nice feeling especially if you are paying $42. Cool decor and conversation of a library.

The Good home have done a great job converting what used to be the old Library, into an interesting dining space. With its bold concrete exterior, it’s hard to miss! Each area of the restaurant has been well thought out and suits the look and feel they have gone for. My favourite room was the small ‘plant’ room that leads out to the deck. The bold fauna printed cushions and feature wall complimented the hanging plants and I loved the round sofa seat. Also for those wanting to dine in and watch the rugby, they have plenty of tv’s around the place.
The menu is a little unusual but there is loads of options to choose from. You’ll find all your pub favourites and also some Asian inspired dishes.
We ordered three small plates to share between the two of so we could try more than one dish. We went with the salt & pepper squid, pork belly and karaage chicken. The portions were far from ‘small’ and in fact were very generous. The squid was lacking seasoning and a little over done. It was our least favourite dish. The pork belly was well cooked and we enjoyed the sauce it was coated in. The katsu chicken didn’t’ have the crisp crumb coating we expected but was still good and paired well with the garlic aioli.
Overall we enjoyed our experience here but have learnt not to order as much as we did! Looking forward to dining in again and sitting out on the deck when it's warmer, as the deck area is perfect for it!
Have been here twice since it opened, and both visits equally good. Caesar salad and karaage chicken are very good and i found no fault with service. Friendly and welcoming staff, great cocktails and gorgeous building/decor.
Would definitely go back!
Breakfast for 3 today. Recommend by a work colleagueI ordered and had the Salmon Egg Benne, Wifey ordered Mushrooms on Giabatta, Slave girl had Pancakes with bacon & Maple Syrup.Interesting North Facing building. Classic reno honoring its it past as the former public library with modern additions that drag the venue into the cool place to hang in the am or pmEggs Bennie were perfect, well presented, served on a toasted bagel. very generous portions of smoked salmon. amount of hollandaise sauce was in proportion of the foodMushrooms on Giabatta were just a little too long (for wifeys' liking, no pleasing this woman, I thought they were fine) on the pan but a great assortment of fungi varieties. Pancakes with Bacon were a good portion with good balance of sweet n sour flavor's
The guacamole was not guacamole but an avocado purée but they were really good about it and took it off the bill. The new fit out is beautiful and the pork belly was delicious, and The staff are really friendly especially Dan! Great cocktails.
I've just read previous reviews and I'm pleased to say I have enjoyed every visit I have had here. First went a week after it opened. Very impressive job and love the indoor outdoor spaces. Had a lovely lunch with the girls where we had squid, kaarage chicken and pizza between 3 of us. Great service and good food. The only I wasn't impressed with was the lemon tart. Was small tartlets where as I was expecting a slice of something... so it was pastry heavy. The others has cheesecake and enjoyed it.
Came again and my friend has lamb salad- she enjoyed it but I thought it just looked like a bag of coleslaw and a small bit of lamb.
I'm keen to try the steaks next time as they look great.
This place is building a nice atmosphere for a beer, bar snacks and sport. Shame parking is tight but I'm lucky to be in walking distance.
There are some great staff too.

We came here before the Adele concert and they just opened a week or so beforehand. The place was busy on a Saturday so the service wasn't the best.
However, I've been to a few The Good Home branches and none have disappointed me so far. They converted the old library so the decor and interior is beautiful. The styling of The Good Home is really great.
In terms of food, the portion sizes are massive and good for the price. Can't really go wrong and this is a great place for brunch or a late afternoon lunch.
Outdoor kickit spot was dope, service was aiite (hot chick never served us though) ordered the double angus beef burger, monday deal with beer was nice very filling, pork belly and salad was tasty af. Rate it 4.5 because outdoor area was nice, parking @is ok, i can see myself hitting the brews heavy here, also learnt a little bit about the guy in the picture behind the bar (Andrew Carnegie). Next time im going to find out about the girl at the bar 😉
I had a great steak here... We arrived on a Sunday evening - no booking. It was quite busy with full seating inside and out - which always makes for a great atmosphere. Lots of families with kids. Both ordered the steaks (but different types) and the Nachos. They were perfectly, perfectly cooked - béarnaise sauce and onion rings with mash on one, - fried segos, salad and fries on the other. Nachos was so overwhelming that we needed a doggy bag to deal with it a little later (no problem posed by that at all). House tap beer was reasonably priced and not a bad drop. Its always kinda fun when 'The Mix' cocktails are a cheaper choice that glasses of wine - will remember that for next summer.
We popped in during the week this place reopened to the public. Great new menu and the decor is Oh-la-la! Very savvy! Staff were friendly and attentive. Loved the out door set up for watching live games. Just what we needed in the neighborhood!
Myself and two friends went to The Good Home on a Wednesday night for dinner. Service was initially good, the waitress was prompt with taking food and drinks orders. The meals were good, but nothing to rave about. Standard pub grub! Once our dinner was served, no one came to check on us, and we were left sitting at the table with our dirty finished plates for quite some time. We actually ordered dessert from the children's menu, which was quite pricey - $9 for two scoops of ice cream and some sprinkles. The building itself has been done very nicely, and is worth a visit just to check that out.
We had a work event at this place. First, I like the decorations and style. Nice and relaxing bar to catch up with mates. Secondly, the food portion was good, they're tasty. I don't mind to come back again. There are plenty of car parks but it was quite busy on the weekend. A small playground for kids makes things a lot easier.
This is my second visit to this branch. I came with my students celebrating the end of course.
We had great food and a great time.
As usual, staff were friendly, and service was quick.
I recommend this branch for its beautiful ambiance and friendly atmosphere.
Cool interior and exterior:) I’d say food 4/5. Italian meatballs were not soft and the bread was a bit burned. Mushed potato - amazing :) My husband, also, liked the bacon burger. Levin pizza has too much pepper for my taste.
Bravo to all Wait Staff that attended to our table. Food was delicious, had to point out my 12yo ordered the adult burger meal whic never came until I asked him to let the waitress know. He didn't starve though as he was picking from our plates lol. atmosphere very homely and warm vibes. Cleanliness was spot on including the ladies toilets. Keep up the excellent work everyone. I would definitely recommend this place if ur looking for a good family restaurant 👌
We had been there yesterday as part of my sons school celebration. Tables were all reserved and well marked. We had the Levin pizza, fish n chips, chicken burger, curly fries and some drinks. The food was great. The only thing my son said that the chicken in the burger was a bit burnt and a bit dry. Overall though everything else was fantastic.
What an establishment. Great food, large selection of drinks, friendly staff with service to match…these guys are winning on all fronts. Enjoy!

It was a good place to enjoy some good time with friends and family. Attended a 1st Birthday, all the food served was great. Definitely one place to remember and a repeat visit soon.
Whilst I have nothing bad to say, I kinda feel a spot so great could be better utilised by opening earlier with more breakfast options, considering the only downfall of the cosy cafe around the corner is an early morning spot in the sun/view. Expected more some how taste wise as no garnish with the hash and it seems they are trying to be flash, however certainly excellent staff and a nice place to socialise.) reasonable value too. Not too busy so…..4.2 current seems about right:(

Didn’t get a chance to try the food and was there on a busy night but other than that the place looked really nice and the drinks and service was pretty good. Would of liked to be approached to be honest but that’s fine. Hope to try their food sometime :)
I went the other day with my mother for lunch and it was wonderful. The food was nice and hot, and staff were so friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxed, just like you’re at home.
For those seeking Alcoholic beverages, there are multiple pages spanning a wide range from wine to beer to gin. For those seeking non alcoholic beverages, the last page provides a very likeable range, including mocktails, regular soft drinks and ginger beer.
The pizza is very tasty (we had the one with grilled chicken on - Dannevirke). And although there’s only 5 options for brunch, the creativity in these options doesn’t stop - the Carnegie Hash (basically like an eggs Benedict) was so tasty and definitely one of my top 5 rosti favourites.
Any mistakes were owned up to and quickly remedied.
Server Shoutout: Liam. He was so kind to us (everyone was) and made us feel like we were meant to be there.
hi team, I absolutely loved the venue - and the staff were so wonderful. I felt like I was home, thank you for a great experience. I just want to comment on the sauce used on the pork ribs - I found it a bit spicy - can I make a suggestion that you serve the sauce as a side and not over the ribs - just so people like myself have a choice whether to eat it or not. This in no way impacts the yummy food we all ate as a family. I am grateful that the kids got to eat free as your promotion for after 4pm Sundays that is great for families especially during a time of recession. Thank you for everything. We hope to come back soon. It was also my daughters 17th birthday and you let us bring a cake - I loved how accommodating you were.
They were very busy and had to close the cocktail bar for a while but it seemed like a sensible decision. They also notified us when they had space to make more cocktails which I felt was going tye extra mile. Lovely warm heaters l, great atmosphere.
Good restaurant and bar, food was yummy and good options for everyone. Beautiful heratige building. Bit noisy as warriors were playing and staff were very busy but they did well. Depends what you're after but good all rounder.
Little Gem in Onehunga! Warm and tasteful ambience with great staff! 👍🏻 good selection of chilled beers and comfy seating both inside and out! 😁
Had Friday lunch special - fish & chips with friends, which we all enjoyed. Original features of former library have been combined with modern styling to provide an attractive and interesting environment. Staff are friendly and attentive. Good Home's website needs updating to show correct pricing for "lunch specials".
First time here with the family. A lot of room for bigger groups. The food is good for its price. Will be back for sure.
