Whales Tale Antiques is a large antique and collectables shop on the corner of Bridge Street and Waghorne Street in Ahuriri, Napier. It sits in the shopping area of Port Ahuriri, near the Port of Napier. The shop carries old, new and reproduction pieces, and the website says it has plenty of Victorian pieces alongside other antiques and collectables. The range includes furniture, bottles, china, ceramics, porcelain, pottery, clocks, glass, prints, jewellery, country items, lighting, and oriental, English and European pieces, along with some one-off items.
The website asks visitors to call ahead in winter for opening hours, as the shop's hours change with the season. For anyone collecting, the mix of Victorian pieces and one-off finds is the main draw described on the site. Open Locally's figures for nearby antique shops are not part of the listing, so the shop is best judged on its own range.
