The iNZpired Store is a New Zealand gift and art store at the top of the Skyline Rotorua gondola in Fairy Springs, and it is open daily. The shelves are stocked with New Zealand made goods: one-of-a-kind jewellery from established and emerging designers, locally made skincare, honey and artisan chocolate, art, homeware and lighting. The store's signature piece is a hanging tree lamp by the lighting designer David Trubridge. The store says the piece was first shown in Frankfurt, then in New York and Texas, and that its lights can be flat packed for travel.
Customers say there is a lot to see and something for everyone, especially small jewellery gifts. One buyer praised a necklace from the Kiwicraft range as beautifully crafted. Staff are described as helpful, and prices are moderate. One customer said a yearly card brings prices down further. The store sits alongside the gondola, the luge and the Stratosfare restaurant, so it fits easily into a visit to the Skyline complex. Our pick at Skyline for a New Zealand made keepsake to take home.
