About Living Arts Gallery, Living Light Candles & The Wool Shed Gallery

A candle maker's shop on Tukurua Road in Golden Bay, at the site of the company's original factory, where the candles are made. The business is Living Light, a New Zealand boutique candle company that started from artisan roots in 1998 and makes candles, soaps and room fragrances by hand in Golden Bay. The shop sells the range fresh from the factory, along with samples and seconds, and the website says the staff know the candles well. The grassy-roofed building is the company's original factory site.

Opening hours at the factory shop are 10am to 5pm daily in January and February. Other months, the website says to call before visiting. A separate store is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4:30pm, and it closes from 24 December to 5 January. The Tukurura Gallery is open during the closure. Shipping is free on orders over $100 across New Zealand, except Waiheke, and orders to Australia cost $49.00. A customer who bought a candle as a birthday gift said it had a beautiful, lasting scent.
