Beauty therapist Sharlene Cotter, 40, said she would go with the Green Party's Metiria Turei.
"Because of the environmental issues and we have no swimmable rivers. I would hope they would sort that out. I think climate change has been ignored and I'd like to see it not be ignored," she said.
Events worker Sam Lliev, 19, said he wasn't sure, but he liked Judith Collins.
"She seems quite intimidating so I think she will stand up to the Labour Party well, but I'd like to see John Key stay to be honest," he said.
However, local barrister Rob Vigor-Brown said he would like to see Labour in power again.
"I'd like to see a Labour prime minister bring back the welfare state, for instance in our society child poverty is totally unacceptable."
Starbucks barista Haley Nelson, 23, said she didn't know enough to make an informed decision.
"There's no one that just comes to mind that I'd just be able to point my finger at."
An area manager, Natalie Galbraith, 33, said she hadn't even thought about it.
"We don't really have any suitable candidates. I think Hayley Holt would be my pick if I had to think about it."
Retired registered nurse Rosemary Tristram, 72, said she thought Bill English would be an appropriate choice.
"He's been there a long time and he's always strong and reliable," she said.
Crafts woman Pene Malaney, 50, said she wasn't sure who she would pick but it would have to be a woman.
"I just think they are more conscientious and very considerate and easier to talk to," she said.
Beneficiary Te Motoi Taputu, 50, said nobody in particular sprang to mind.
"Nobody springs out as being steps ahead of the others. Andrew Little doesn't spring out, maybe Metiria Turei from the Greens but there's some doubt in that as well," she said.
Public servant Tania Darwent, 37, also said she didn't know.
"I have no idea, mainly because I don't really see any of our politicians as being on the same par as John Key."
