About Something From Home

A South African food store with a Browns Bay address on Beach Road, mostly sold online. It stocks more than 2,200 South African products, shipped across New Zealand and Australia, and the range is built around biltong, dry wors, spices and braai essentials. Staples such as maize meal, peri peri seasoning and Mrs Balls chutney sit alongside them, along with a Cook & Enjoy recipe book and a range of soaps and bubble bath.

Customers praise the biltong, which one describes as tasty and worth reordering. Another says the dry wors was enjoyed, and a third says the order was neatly packed, fresh and delivered on time. The store's own pages explain the history of maize meal and chutney, and set out how click and collect works.

For South African expats living in New Zealand, and Kiwis who want those flavours, the store is the way to get the products that are hard to find in an ordinary supermarket.
