One of the most fascinating gift shops i have had the pleasure of walking into . The price is up there , but the high quality and attention to detail is out of this world . We were so impressed that we bought a few garden ornaments . The staff member was very polite and helpful.
There are several good shops selling green stone in town. We found it great that they work TOGETHER, recommending the "competitor" to help you find YOUR stone. Great community!
I had the joy of visiting quirky, atmospheric Hokitika in the middle of stormy weather at the beginning of January this year. The place is enchanting and I would love to go back for the Driftwood Festival as well as the Wild Food Festival. This gallery was the icing on the cake, with great quality local gifts, and high quality New Zealand art and crafts. It is run by Wilderness Gallery photographer Juergen Schacke and his wife Monika with style, friendliness and excellent service. After leaving I decided I had made a mistake in not buying one of the items I had seen and contacted the gallery by email. It was no problem for them to identify it and post it on to me. Juergen and Monika have recently rescued this gallery (and already run the excellent Wilderness Gallery next door) and have made a wonderful job with the space. I will be back!
