About Country Village Ltd Dragonstone

A garden statue and stoneware shop in Himatangi, about twenty minutes from Palmerston North, selling English-style cast stoneware under the Dragonstone name. Country Village Ltd Dragonstone is in Himatangi, RD 7. The website describes garden statues, urns, pots, birdbaths and water features, made by hand from natural stone and aggregates. It says urns and pots can be turned into fountains, with a plinth for height. The shop also sources other home and garden products, many of them New Zealand made and exclusive to the shop, and offers furniture restoration. The website says the manufacturers of the Dragonstone range have retired, and that a 30% discount on items of $150 or more applies while stock lasts. Freight is worked out when the order is placed. Stores that do not stock the range can be supplied direct, and the website mentions a subsidised delivery where the shop is going your way.

Reviewers mention sculptures, pots and helpful staff most often, along with recycled tyre furniture. One reviewer says the owners are friendly and helpful, and that items can be posted after looking at the photos. Another says the stock is worth the drive, and that the recycled tyre table and chairs are amazing. One visitor who stopped at the roadside says someone at the shop shouted at them about their truck, which they found upsetting. The views are mixed.
