Green With Envy is a homeware and lifestyle store on Matakana Road in Matakana, founded in 2010, with a second store in Cambridge. The website describes it as award-winning and says its furniture, homewares, art and gifts are chosen for design, quality and comfort, from New Zealand and overseas. Examples on the site include Muubs carbonised ash wood serving boards and textured Yoro candles, sold in sets. The Matakana store has a cafe inside, and online orders are delivered nationwide.
Customers mention gifting most often. One shopper asked for gift wrapping and a gift exchange by email and got a quick reply from the Matakana store. Others call it a cute shop with a good selection and beautiful stock. Visitors praise the cafe, its great coffee and its view. One customer shopped while their husband walked the dog to the waterfall, and another arrived just before the 4pm closing and found the staff very helpful. For a gift or a browse on the way through Matakana, this store is a good place to start.
