The shop sells Manuka honey, lanolin and other skincare, merino wool clothing, knitwear, t-shirts, jewellery, toys, health supplements and locally handcrafted souvenirs.

Opening hours are 9.30am to 7pm in summer and 9.30am to 6pm in winter, seven days a week. The shop can be shopped online, and purchases can be shipped overseas.

Customers mention friendly staff and souvenirs most often, and some mention manuka honey. One customer had been meaning to buy manuka honey and was guided through the different options. Another says the team helped them finish a purchase after closing time, and that the price was competitive compared with other websites. A third calls it a lovely little souvenir shop with very sweet staff. The website says the team includes multilingual staff who speak Japanese and Chinese, and that the shop accepts several international payment methods and foreign currency at most stores.
