How We Chose The Best Carpet Stores in Auckland
1. Giles Carpets
It’s pretty amazing that Giles Carpets has been in the game for over 40 years.
When we checked out their store, we were impressed by how much they had to offer. From commercial to residential flooring, they’ve got a huge selection.
It’s not just all-new stuff either. They’ve got end-of-runs, off-cuts, and seconds too. You can really find something that fits your budget without compromising on quality.
Speaking of quality, they only stock trusted brands like Feltex and Godfrey Hirst. This gives customers the piece of mind that they’re getting some of the best products around.
Plus, if you’re eco-conscious, you’re gonna love their eco-friendly options like wool carpets. They’re not only biodegradable but also great for improving indoor air quality.
Price-wise, they’re a solid choice. They offer discounts that can go up to $130 per linear meter off regular prices. Plus, they run weekly specials, which is great if you’re looking to snag a bargain.
We also appreciate that they offer free quotes and consultations.
That said, we did hear from a few customers some delays in getting responses after their initial inquiries. This could be a bit frustrating if you’re in a hurry to make a decision.
My experience with them has been nothing short of exceptional
“If you’re looking for top-notch service and quality carpets/Vinyl, look no further than Giles Carpet! From start to finish, my experience with them has been nothing short of exceptional. First off, the selection of carpets they offer is extensive, catering to various tastes and needs. Their showroom is well-organized, making it easy to browse through the options. The staff (Ange) is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, helping us to find the perfect vinyl for our home. Overall, I highly recommend Giles Carpet to anyone in need of quality carpets and exceptional service. And a special shoutout to Ange for her superb assistance – she truly made the experience memorable. Keep up the fantastic work!”

When it comes to service and quality these guys are the best
“If you’re about to consider carpeting your house it would be a mistake to ignore this family carpet company. Outstanding service from the measure and quote to the professional laying at a very reasonable price. Kevin and his staff guided and advised us accordingly. Nothing was a problem. When it comes to service and quality these guys are the best. Like us check out there showroom, you won’t be disappointed.”

2. Carpet Country
If you’re into carpets made from New Zealand wool, Carpet Country is all about that. They focus on using high-quality, locally sourced wool. This is great not only for supporting local businesses but also because it’s a sustainable and eco-friendly choice.
Plus, wool is natural and biodegradable, so it’s better for indoor air quality and comfort.
When we visited, they offered us a consultation, and it really made the whole process of picking a carpet so much easier. They gave us expert advice on what works best in different areas of the house, which was super helpful.
We also chatted with a former customer who’s all about branded carpets. She was happy to see that Carpet Country stocks options like Godfrey Hirst and Victoria Carpets. There’s a lot to choose from when it comes to styles, colors, and materials.
The only downside we noticed is that their prices can be a bit on the higher side compared to other stores. But if you’re after quality and sustainability, it might be worth the extra cost.
Their customer service and quality of the carpet are excellent
“I have been using the Carpet Country services for renovation of my rental properties for a long time. Their customer service, quality of the carpet is excellent and the price is always the lowest. Hence when I need a new carpet I fully rely on Carpet Country and will advice you do the same. Thanks. James.”

My new carpet’s quality is very good
“Bruce and his team supplied and laid the carpets in my new home and to say I am impressed is an understatement – the quality is very good with the fitting also being as high quality. Everyone who comes into my home comments on the carpet as it looks great and feels really nice to walk on. As you will see from the images – it was by no means and easy job!”

3. Carpet Court Newmarket
When my team and I visited Carpet Court Newmarket, their wide variety of carpets really caught our attention. They’ve got synthetic carpets that are super tough and stain-resistant.
If you’re a pet owner or prone to spills, their stain-proof and pet-proof carpets are a game changer!
For those who want to go the eco-friendly route, they have options made from recycled materials so you can make a green choice without giving up comfort.
Honestly, with so many great choices, we were feeling a bit overwhelmed! But their staff was fantastic, stepping in to help us figure out what would work best for our space, style, and budget. This made the whole process smooth and easy.
And it’s not just about carpets—they also offer a range of other flooring options like tiles, laminate, wooden, and vinyl flooring. We found this really convenient since you can find everything you need in one stop.
They also take care of everything from the design phase to installation, so you don’t have to worry about the details.
That said, a few customers have mentioned they weren’t completely happy with some of the installation work. They pointed out things like improper fitting or alignment.
Thank you so much for organizing our flooring and carpet!
“We owe deep gratitude to Kevin for his support in organizing the new flooring and carpet for our home after the January flood. He was knowledgeable, efficient and was a great person to support us in those stressful days”

Totally surpassed our expectations
“Amazing service from Jay at Carpet Court Newmarket. I put through an online enquiry, he phoned me having already checked the carpet I was after as it was discontinued, and found the last roll in NZ. He then came and measured for the job right away, and had a quote back later that day, we had the carpet in within the week. Totally surpassed our expectations. Answered all my pesky questions and never faltered, and followed up after the install to check everything was okay. Highly recommend!!”

4. Carpet Direct
We recently visited Carpet Direct and we were really impressed by how they source their materials from trusted manufacturers all over the world.
They’ve got a solid range of carpets, from wool and solution-dyed nylon to polyester. No matter your home style, whether it’s classic or contemporary, they’ve got you covered.
They also offer eco-friendly options like locally sourced materials and fibers such as Triexta. It’s made from 37% renewably sourced polymer from corn sugar. This is pretty cool for anyone looking to go green with their flooring.
One customer we spoke to also couldn’t stop talking about their stain-proof and odor-resistant carpets. She said it was perfect for her family with kids and a cat.
What’s also great is that they keep their prices competitive while still offering high-quality products, which is a win if you’re after good value. They also offer carpet installation.
That said, we did hear from one customer who was a bit disappointed with the lack of follow-up after raising concerns about the installation process. It’s definitely something they could improve on.
Very happy with the quality
“We had carpet installed in our home (5 bedrooms, 2 lounges, hallway and stairs) by Carpet Direct. We absolutely love it, it’s plush, comfortable and has renewed our home. Very happy with the quality and the job done by the installers was exceptional. Great work, would definitely recommend Carpet Direct!”

5. Carpetlink Auckland
Carpetlink Auckland is definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re after some great deals that can beat the prices of other stores. So, naturally, we had to swing by and see for ourselves.
When we were in their store, we loved that it’s set up for a hands-on shopping experience. You can really get a feel for the products which is a big advantage over shopping online or at places that don’t offer that kind of personal touch.
That said, the customer service could use a little work. When we wanted to ask about a carpet displayed, the staff wasn’t exactly jumping to help. Turns out a few other customers felt the same way.
On the bright side, they’ve got a huge range of carpets to suit any budget or style. They even have a good selection of hard flooring options.
And if you’re worried about quality, they’ve got solid warranties backing up their products. You can shop with confidence knowing you’re getting something that’s built to last.
Love our new carpet from them
“Great service and helpful advice when choosing a carpet . Gave samples to go away with which really helped to make a choice different colours -varying prices . Prompt reply to inquire on cost and availability for pick up – made the whole process easy . Definitely recommend will be back again . Love our new carpet thank you Tom”
