A relaxed homewares, garden and gift shop on Ngongotaha Road in the village of Ngongotahā, Rotorua. It is run by two owners who opened in November 2020, after seeing a shop for lease in their home village and deciding to bring something new to it. The range covers home and garden pieces, giftware, boutique clothing, and one-off creations by New Zealand designers. The website says flowers are grown on the owners' own properties in Ngongotahā and Mamaku, and picked and arranged by them. Classes are sometimes held in store. The shop has an online store as well as its premises, and questions can be sent through the contact form or by phone on 020 4075 9825.
Customers describe the shop as beautiful and full of curious things, with vintage ornaments, chimes and cast iron crosses. One says the sales assistant is hospitable and charming, and another finds that the stock changes so often there is always something new. Customers mention the plant selection and the gift ideas. Our pick in Ngongotahā for a gift or a garden piece with a local touch.
