The 21 best shopping and stores in Napier

We visited for a wine tasting on Thursday and were presented with four different types to choose from. I selected one to start with, and after tasting it, I wanted to try another. Unfortunately, I was told that only one type is allowed per tasting session, and if I wanted to try more, I’d have to go into the restaurant and order a glass. Since my companion was tied up with a long online meeting, I had to give up on the idea. The setting was beautiful and the pricing very reasonable, but the inflexible policy was a bit disappointing.

We got to see The Mission cellar door while we were visiting friends who had just moved to Napier, as part of a wine tour with Frankly Tours (see other review). We did the tour on a Sunday, hoping that the cellar doors would be open, and we were not disappointed. The Mission was our first stop, and what a starter! Fantastic venue and atmosphere, just stunning on the hill. 5 wines tasted from their extensive range, starting with their bubbles. We were given plenty of time to browse the historic photos and artifacts after the wine tasting session. Tour guide was the most knowledgeable of the 3 by far that we met on the day tour, and I think we chatted so much with Q&A that we kind of ran out of time. Absolutely no pressure to buy any of the wines, and indeed we were back on our tour bus before we realised we had not had the chance to purchase LOL. Beyond the wine production the venue and location itself is obviously a major part of their business set up, simple stunning. Recommend you ask for this "cellar door" specifically on any wine tour in Napier.

Beautiful spot, great wines and wonderful history made for a stunning start to our wine discovery. Self guided tasting so you do not feel rushed but stuff there to help out if and when needed. When back for seconds. Also we'll priced celler door wines for sale.

Magic place with incredibly tasty wine, we loved our stop at Mission Estate. Our server was very nice. We went for the aromatic self guided tasting and what a blast ! We ended up by buying four bottles. You should really include Mission Estate in your winery tour !

Well worth the detour. We did some tasting followed by a cheese platter. Yvonne was warm and super knowledgeable - not only about the wine and heritage but also the region. Highly recommended!

Lovely food and staff. Would have been 5 star but a bit odd in their rules on one paddle per person seeing the amount of wine choice’s and how much time and money we spent in the restaurant. The “can’t be in the grass” with the tasting paddle also very odd and comes across as uninviting. They were reasonable at accommodating to food intolerances.

My family and I recently visited Mission Winery and were not disappointed. The wine is worth trying and the view is stunning. The service that we had from Trevor in particular was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, answered all our questions about the estate and the wine, and had a very friendly manner. We highly recommend going for a visit.

I would like to thank Roger. He gives my whole family the best of the best wine tasting experience. I have been Church Road,3 /4 times. in the past experience, It was too many visitors and hard to get a quality time to learn wine, to know about Church Road. Thank you , Roger. He is passionate to wine and share the best of his knowledge with us. FYI , we booked a lunch time and got an excellent wine tasting before lunch. We tried the $45 & $35 wine tasting. The $45 is the value for money and best value to try all 5 $100 worth wine... 300% recommended.

A friend and I spent a lovely afternoon at Church Road Winery. We had lunch which was delicious, first sharing a cheese board and then opting for the pork belly and the tortellini as our mains while sharing a bottle of the Gwen rose which was very nice. Dessert was an affogato and a chocolate brulee (a must order) Danielle was our server and she was very attentive, answered all our questions easily and was very friendly. After lunch we grabbed another bottle of Gwen rose and headed out to the expansive lawn to finish the day. All the staff we came across were always so friendly and willing to help, when we enquired about the cost of a Gwen tote bag the lady who was asked (it was her first day and we forgot to ask her name) went above and beyond to find out the answer for us. Definitely recommend a visit to Church Road Winery

Great Food, But the Service Ruined It We came today for a tasting and some food — unfortunately, it was a real disappointment. The setting is stunning, both the gardens and the cellar door interior are beautiful. But from the moment we arrived, confusion began: no signage, multiple counters, and no clear direction. After waiting, we were told by a staff member, that he was too busy to do a tasting, despite the venue being only a third full. We were also told to hurry if we wanted food, as the kitchen was closing — before 3:00pm, even though the cellar door closes at 4:30pm. At the food counter, the welcome felt more like an inconvenience. We were rushed, given no explanations about the menus, and then served food without plates, cutlery, or napkins. After fetching our own, the waitress (who was kind) arrived with napkins just as a gust of wind knocked over a glass of wine onto our platter. No one offered help or even asked if we wanted to replace the glass. The food itself was excellent — beautifully made and full of flavour — and the wine was very good. But the service was among the worst I’ve experienced in 16 years as a chef, including three years working in a New Zealand winery. Even basic hospitality standards were missing. I came with fond memories of Church Road wines, but after this experience, I won’t be returning or purchasing their wine again. A real shame — it could easily be one of New Zealand’s best wineries with better service.

Great service. Amazing food. Nice sitting outside on a sunny day. Beautiful atmosphere. I don’t normally have desert but was sold by the waitress that offered it and it was delicious. Will definitely be wining and dining there alot more

Had an amazing tasting session!! We booked the Inspired By The Bay tasting session and the lady who served us, Trina was amazing, thank you so much for being patient with us and taught us so much about how to taste and how different wines are made differently🙌🏻🙌🏻 loved it so much❤️

We were at Church Road for wine tasting. Roger was so knowledgeable and managed the tasting experience so well. Definitely will back either for dinner or spend sometime beautiful at garden.

Super wines, good tasting, and clearly there is someone who knows their stuff in the kitchen! Bookings for wine tastings and lunch had to be done as two different bookings on line, it was a bit frustrating and confusing, but got sorted at cellar door. Surprised that the cost of the tasting doesn't seem to be waived if other product is purchased, and that there isn't a wine club to join which is disappointing. A lovely way to spend a few hours

MTG Hawke's Bay is a great place to learn about the art and culture of the Hawke's Bay region and beyond. The museum houses a diverse collection of art, including Māori treasures, contemporary works, and historical artifacts from Napier's Earthquake. The Māori collection is particularly impressive, featuring intricate carvings, textiles, and weapons. The museum also has a dedicated Māori gallery, which provides visitors with a deeper understanding of Māori culture and history. Overall, MTG Hawke's Bay is a well-curated and informative museum, however the ladies working there were surprisingly very unkind, which sadly downgraded the experience.

The perfect little museum in the heart of napier, tons of free exhibits with lots of great historical information. Basement floor was closed but only due to renovations which is fair, hope the revamp looks good!

Nice museum and art. Enjoyed the shaking tables you could play with. The video before the room shook like a earthquake was entertaining.

Small but very nice museum. Cool exhibitional hall of Hawkes's bay's story. Can see the view of art deco building from second floor.

Very impressed I learnt a lot about Maori that I didn't know. The basement earthquake simulation made me jump and brought home to me what it would feel like. Impressed that it was free .

Walked into this lovely museum to be met by the nicest lady, so welcoming and knowledgeable.The museum houses a fine collection of attifacts, and an awesome film interview with survivors of the earthquake that wiped out Napier. Easy to navigate, free entry. Photo friendly too.

We visited the exhibition on the history of the 1931 Earthquake in Hawkes Bay. Exhibits was well documented and displayed, and educational. The museum staff are also very friendly and polite. Overall, a lovely visit!

So enjoy wandering in on a Saturday morning, enjoying the beautiful Clive Square atmosphere. Great spot for a crepe n coffee for breakfast. And to pick up bread, veggies and pastries

It was light showers as we got to the market. Both sides of the street along the park had market stalls. As we were travelling onto Wellington we could not buy any fresh produces or perishables, even if these were looking so good and fresh at the stalls. We did decide to buy from the bakery stall as we could eat these along the way. Definitely would come back and with more time to stay.

Visiting Napier for few days, stopped in here to kill some time. Market very small, just the normal coffee, breads/savouries, bacon sammies, fruit/veg, wooden chopping boards & flowers. Locals very friendly. Only negative the coffee truck makes horrible coffee and extremely hot. So if you do decide to buy from here be sure to ask for 2 cups so you can at least hold your distasteful cup of coffee.

Saturday mornings are beautiful here, come check it out 🙂

I mean the market itself is small and not much exposer for the marketeers online. You're not really sure if everyone is going to be there or not. When you have visitors from out of town, you take them there and your market is slightly empty then that's sad for everyone. They need more exposure and more stalls to make it a good market.

Love the farmers market, had the best figs stall ever, lots of variety of fresh food.

Fantastic atmosphere and fabulous fresh produce. I was especially impressed with the herbs & flower plants for sale. You do not have to buy a full punnet you can buy just one plant or make up a mixed basket of what you need. What a brilliant idea! Well worth a visit to this great Farmers Market right next to the beautiful Clive Square in Napier city centre.

Expensive chocolates, but they are hand made and every flavour you could think of, just don't expect market prices. 6 chocolates cost nearly $20 and just in a paper bag. They do have gift boxes and gift wrapping there. Cup of signature "hot" chocolate was good, but served cold. I asked them to heat for me and was much nicer. $7 for a piccolo cup which I thought was fair considering it eas literally melted chocolate 🫕 🍫 😋 pictured.

Silky Oak Chocolate museum & café is an absolute must if you’re anywhere near the area. The museum lays out the history of chocolate from the use of cocoa beans as currency in Aztec culture all the way up to modern day international chocolate making. The displays are well-maintained and interesting to look at, as well as completely unique to anything else in other museums we’ve visited. There’s even a little theatre playing vintage chocolate ads that’s fun to see! The staff are wonderful and the cafe is also really lovely with a nice selection of food and drinks (including a hot chocolate made with silky oaks very own chocolate!). We got a few chocolates from the shop on the way out and have to say the salted caramel bark is particularly tasty!

We recently had a delightful time while in Napier when we stopped for a visit at the Silky Oak Chocolate cafe. We initially stopped for a few chocolate treats and gifts while travelling but were pleasantly surprised by the amazing food we had at the cafe on site. We both had a bacon egg bene (as that is the go to for us) which was absolutely beautiful and the cherry tomatoes were a great addition to the meal! The coffee was also amazing as well as the desserts we picked to accompany our long black brews. The staff also helped to make the experience! We had a great time meeting Jean in the cafe, the ladies in the pantry and Sue in the chocolate shop were all stars! We loved our visit to Silky Oak and the ladies made it even more special with their knowledge and hospitality. Looking forward to going back to the Silky Oak when next we are down from Auckland!

Excellent service and delicious food! My partner said it was the best scone he has tasted in a long time. I enjoyed my chocolate special, it was so divine. Partner also enjoyed his hot coffee too! We are happy with the food availability that was on offer, along with the fast service and seating availability too. A calming and quiet atmosphere. Will definitely come here again.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented, lots of dressing and flavours. However unfortunately our coffee was lukewarm and lacking depth of flavour

Great food. Great coffee. The chocolate very yummy and a little pricey, however no wifi available

Wow! Great locally made chocolate alternative to Bennetts and Makana. Di was so helpful in identifying the dark chocolate options. Sadly, dark chocolate and salt as a combo was unavailable. I purchased two 70% dark chocolate bars (48 g - $7.60/ea). Continuing trend of chocolate being expensive in NZ. I also visited the Pantry where I bought rhubarb gelato. Had to choose over all-time favorite raspberry chocolate chip. Also had a lovely convo with the woman working in the gift shop. Learned all about her grandmother who lives in Ottawa. Be assured the staff are customer focused and personable!

There's no denying Brocante is a lovely store filled with beautiful things. What lets it down is the complete and utter lack of service from the staff (owners?). I visited once more last week with a friend and made a comment as we entered that we were unlikely to receive any service and we then proceeded to spend quite a bit of time wandering around. There were Easter products I was keen to purchase, as well as other products that took my fancy. Sadly we were yet again ignored. The staff (owners?) were too busy discussing Italy and heritage amongst themselves to even be bothered uttering good morning or are you happy browsing to us. Luckily for me the items I would have purchased were able to be purchased in other Napier stores and online once home. It’s the last time I’ll bother with Brocante!

I came to your store twice trying to buy. The first time it was an hour before your close time on Google and you closed the door as I walked up, and told me I was wrong about the closing time. The second time I arrived at your opening time on Google, waited around for 10-15 minutes for you to open, which you didn't. I brought my product elsewhere.

My favourite store in Hawkes Bay, don’t look elsewhere for wedding gifts or Christmas decorations! The most beautiful range, always. Staff are friendly, approachable and just lovely.

Truly lovely store.

I just love this elegant shop... Stunning products, something for just about every occasion. Such friendly staff, could chat with them all day.

My favourite shop in Napier, reasonably priced clothes and accessories. Love the range of homewares.

Cool shop and staff are very helpful and friendly. Beautiful selection of cushions.

What an oasis for people who are looking for food that’s both organic and vegan! I would highly recommend going to Napier just to go to this place (but hopefully also to explore the area). It was heaven on Earth. During my stay me and my partner tried out: - Delicious seedy buckwheat bread - Pistachio and a lemon-lime “cheese”-cake – they’ve got so many (too many) of these vegan cheesecake flavours to choose from, and the ones we tried were simply divine, probably one of the best cakes, I’ve ever had - Vegan cornbread with cashew chipotle – nice and indulgent - Vegan bounty – rich and yummy - Vegan cookies – like cookies should be

Staff wanted us to use takeaway cups, which we don’t like. They didn’t seem happy about giving us normal cups. Coffee was fine, the Afghan cookie was good. However, we didn’t feel comfortable there.

An amazing cafe! Everything we had was delicious. Great value and lovely staff.

I'm vision impaired and struggled to read their menu (Very small print with fancy font). It's very busy and I found it difficult to read what they had. It also says online that they make vegan Mac n cheese etc however when I asked they only had soups and fresh sandwiches, tacos etc. The chipotle taco, soup and sandwich I had on two separate occasions were delicious and the fact they cater for vegans and vegetarians is amazing. Seems alternative eating has gone backwards everytime I visit NZ however this place is amazing.

Just ask the price before you order and grab the receipt! $15.50 for a sandwich, chicken, avo. Yum yet too expensive for me, thanks. **Edit** It wasnt labour weekend, it was about a month back. End of September. $35 for 2 chicken sammies and a flat white. I just assumed the sammies were $15 each because we know you could not have charged $9 for the flat white! Perhaps I should have said this in the 1st place. So if they were $13 each then perhaps we were over charged on the coffee!

Food here was amazing! So many vegan options and not too expensive. I got the avocado on toast, I wasn’t a fan of the seeded bread as it was very hard but that’s personal preference. The raw cakes selection was amazing and the mocha cheesecake was delicious. Staff could have been a little friendlier, they were quite aloof and standoffish but overall the place was nice.

Hapi is you Happy place ! Fantastic local organic mostly vegan cafe. Plenty of gf and vegan options of very fresh, organic food. Good selection of home made juices and drinks. Recommend vegan tofu chipotle tacos. They are rare treat ! Vegan Sammie with avocado is delicious too. Coffee best in town and plenty of delicious tea options. Cafe is inside Chantel organic store which is a great local organic shop.

It’s a challenge trying to get brekkie without eggs. Without being a fuss anyway. A burger on the brekkie menu tickled my curiosity (with the fried egg removed). Honestly a surprise and delight. I couldn’t quite work myself up to picking it and eating it for breakfast, but was a good start to the day with my perfect piccolo coffee. Would get the quirky again. For the record, the dishes all around with eggs looked top notch too.

Had this place recommended to us for breakfast and glad we took their advice - very friendly and efficient service, & delicious food. The hot cakes with banana and bacon could have fed two people!

This is one of the best cafe brunches I have ever had. Innovative flavour combos with relaxed atmosphere. We had the vegan stack and the asparagus hash browns...delightful! Top marks

Yuuuuum, my partner and I were in Napier over the weekend for work and both mornings we headed here for breakfast. I highly recommend the hotcakes (pictured) absolutely delicious especially if you have a sweet tooth! We also tried the muesli and egg panini these were also very tasty. Great coffee being served too! Man, I’m drooling just thinking about it.

Perfect place for a Sunday brunch on a rainy day. The menu has a range of tasty options whether you're craving sweet or savory. Happy to support a cafe owned by a local family.

Very nice place and certainly worthy of more than one visit. Had salmon cream cheese spread 6.5$ and large FW 5$ (slightly strong). Will try other things next time..

Can't put into words how good the food is. Highly recommend the hot cakes with berries, chocolate soil, and chocolate mousse of you have a sweet tooth; or the chicken katsu eggs benedict if you prefer savory. Portions are huge too!!! I'd eat everything on the menu, even if it killed me. Its in the top 5 dining experiences I've ever had!

Great exhibition of senior Taradale high school talent. Very impressed with the talent and variety and how it was presented.

CAN is a fantastic place to visit if you're interested in NZ artists. And it's FREE! Well lit spacious areas are full of beautiful displays. Within walking distance of the Napier City centre it's worth going for a look and if you're driving free parking is available on the road outside. Staff are friendly and helpful and if it interests you, classes are available or spaces to rent for your own exhibition. Put aside some time and do it! PS suitable for kids too :-)

Such a lovely art gallery and creative center! We had an event here, held by Indonesian community in Hawke’s Bay area, KAMIBAY, and the batik workshop as well as the fashion show ran smoothly. The staff are friendly and very helpful as well. Here you can also find various works of the local artist, ranging from paintings, artworks, jeweleries and more. I got a pair of hot glass earrings here and I really love them. You can also enjoy the art work of Dali Susanto, an Indonesian-born artist who stay in NZ for the last 14 years. His works are simply amazing. It’s disability friendly as well and very welcoming. For now, mask is mandatory as well.

Fabulous creative space for community led exhibitions

Beautiful gallery wonderful staff it's a pity it's in a private car park with no parking and not on a busy walking street

Love CAN as the revolving art displays are always very interesting and varied. Also highly recommend browsing the unique items for sale as not only are they are locally made, they’re of very high quality and reasonably priced.

By donation admission, nice collection

What a disappointing experience, this art gallery has amazing cards stocked and thought I would support them to purchase some. I walked in and the staff member was typing on her phone, didn’t greet or ask me if I needed help with anything. In fact, there wasn’t even eye contact or any form of communication. I promptly walked out as this exceptionally rude and disrespectful. I will not be returning and certainly wouldn’t support this business. Napier’s a small place, word travels fast.

Great little shop, pricey but that's expected for what they are selling.

Fanatastic gallery and great staff. Congrats to Annika.

Good presents for loved ones

A Must-Do in Napier! The Art Deco Trust offers a fantastic and well-organized tour. It started with a fascinating short film about the 1931 earthquake, featuring rare footage and historical insight. Our small-group walking tour was led by a passionate volunteer guide who brought the city’s unique Art Deco heritage to life. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Napier!

We had a fantastic tour and experience with the charming and funny Simon. His detailed knowledge of the local history was very insightful. Definitely recommend and support the Art Deco Trust to help them continue their outstanding local work!

We did the guided walking tour around Napier’s art deco buildings run by a volunteer from the Art Deco Trust. You need to pre book your places on the tour. It was easy walking, went for about an hour and a half, they provide you with a head set so you can listen to your guide. Great stories, wonderful insights about the city, especially the earthquake history. I’d highly recommend the tour.

We had a great experience with our volunteer guide Simon. Just a small group of 6 of us taking in some great architecture and stories of the town. Even if you're not an "Art Deco" fanatic, well worth 2 hours of your day.

If you don't do this activity. You are truly missing an experience! A superlative tour experiencing the art deco buildings and a fabulous ride in the vintage cars with the fun n knowledgeable guides of the trust. Must must must do! Bonus tip. Their souvenir shop in the end is a treasure trove!

Loved doing the tour. Despite it chucking it down with rain the whole time, it was great to be shown not just the buildings, but the finer details of the designs also. Sarah was a really good guide. Highly recommend this tour.

we have done tour by vintage car . Our tour guide was ROD. He had good knowledge about the past history and the building architecture around. We really enjoyed his company. This tour is a must do in Napier for good cause & value for money . without this tour a person just look at the old buildings' around & not in a position to value rich Architecture, culture , heritage & history .

Great store! This location has an amazing range of gluten free products! The smell of their hummingbird coffee when you walk in really helps create a welcome atmosphere. The flowers are so gorgeous! Also, produce is usually quite fresh unless it's out of season(which I'd say will be unavoidable at times). Prices are eh, but that's everywhere these days, so I don't really shopped based on price anymore. Haven't tried the sushi or deli items, but partner says their pastries and bakery items are okay. Store layout is ideal, even when it's really busy their employees work hard and are always very kind and helpful! It's my favorite store to shop at! (We usually shop really early, unless it's a Sunday, then we shop around afternoon.

Always a clean and presentable supermarket like most new worlds, however personally I've not yet come across a new world that makes pies like the supermarket. -Gourmet steak and blue vein pie 9.2/10 Very suprised this hasn't won any awards. They dont spare it on the blue vein, and steak peices are very high quality. If you love blue vein cheese, you'll love this. - Steak, bacon, and cheese pie 8.6/10 All aspects of this pie are on point. Would have been higher if it was the same.shape as the steak and blue vein. However, it's still a great pie.

Love that New World Greenmeadows has all their dairy free and allergen free type products in one area. It makes things so much easier. The staff are friendly. The bakery is amazing and the custard slices are to die for

I collapsed while shopping last week and the staff at New World were beyond amazing. They called an ambulance. got me in a wheelchair. took me to a room for privacy. wrapped me in blankets...kept talking to me all the time encouraging me...and one darling staff member held my head up for ages to help me breathe.My sincere appreciation to you all. You are just the best! I am doing well...they think it could have been Pacemaker.

Great Supermarket but been disappointed with loose white potatoes the past few weeks! Please go back to previous supplier so we get the best quality!

Greenmedows is great one of the best Supermarkets in the Napier/Taradale area. I love their Deli and Supermarkets with Cafe's attached to them.

One of the Best NW fir produce groceries etc Open aisles in my tra els around NZ

Whether you’re a Chardonnay fan or not this is a MUST when in Napier. A great selection of wines and beverages on their list, and the food menu is fantastic. The dumplings were a standout, and we had to order a second serve. For the Chardonistas, all of Tony Bish’ wines are available by the glass. I had the Zen and it was delicious. Had to pick up a dozen Fat & Sassy while there too… Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

Great spot. A lovely selection of wines and gyms. Comfortable atmosphere. Ending up buying too much wine to take away- but that’s not too much of a bad thing is it? Would definitely visit again. Is in a great Art Deco building - shame there are no original Features still inside as that would have just added to the experience

A little gem to wine and snack with friends. The tasting platter and the Tony Bish wines are wonderful and the innovation of making wine in the egg shaped barrel made from concrete and oak is such an interesting story.

Great service from Juliette and incredible prices. 4*wines and a beef steak dinner for $63 (happy hour) plus wifi and live entertainment with a guitarist singing 90s songs. Perfect!

Had not planned to stop here, but glad we did! An interesting and changing list of beers, along with a large and varied selection of wine. Staff are charming and knowledgeable. This is a lovely, charming venue and I highly recommend it!

Great night at Urban Winery. Amazing performance by HB Jazz Club Big Band, great food and wine, although they ran out of the Prosecco.

I really enjoyed my Tony Bish tasting experience. The Bish Chardonnay’s are outstanding and the view through the glass into the barrel room is fantastic. The grass and beanbags outside the front door ensure it’s a relaxing and comfortable place to enjoy a few glasses of vino with friends.

Absolutely amazing! Manga selection is cool AF and the store man is absolutely lovely, ever since he opened up shop I feel like I must go in every time because the atmosphere is so lovely and calming and warm, thank you:)

Very Interesting, knowledgeable guy running the place. He has a great story too! Fair prices and great selection of books. The sort of bookshop you will always return to. Really happy to find it.

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but great quality books aside, the friendliness, service, cheerfulness and cleanliness of Minton Booklovers was more than worthy of one. This place is definitely going down in my good books (pun intended)!

Wow! A real gem . An uncluttered , clean and well set out second hand bookshop. The owner knew his stock and obviously took pride in the presentation of his books. A real pleasure to spend time here finding various treasures.

Great selection great service nicely set out shop.

Well laid out, attractive bookstore. Could easily have bought more than the 5 books I walked out with! Very helpful owner too. Definitely be a return visit when next in Napier

Wonderful establishment. The best pre-owned book shop we have ever experienced. Paul is always lovely to deal with and has an encyclopedic knowledge of his stock. The books are constantly refreshed (due to sales - so buy it when you see it!). A true asset to Napier's shopping centre. Highly recommend!!

I was visiting Napier and saw this shop with several large signs outside advertising all sorts of sales (in retrospect, red flags) so I thought I'd go in and have a look as I'm interested in antiques. I was shocked at the exorbitant prices on the items &, as another review mentioned, a lot would be cheap reproductions made in China. Very disappointing & I would advise against wasting your time in this shop. I don't know how the owner can try to rip people off like this!!

Came in for a browse only to discover how grossly overpriced some of the wares are. A simple Bankers lamp, of which they had several, was being sold for over 600 NZD...These did not look like antiques at all, but to the contrary, looked brand new. This lamp can be purchased at mere 200 at the Art Deco Trust. Or go online and buy one for less than 100.

95% imported made in China reproduction antiques at genuine antique prices. Best avoided unless you have wads of cash and don't want the real thing.

$75 for a 1980s Matchbox car with no box? I don't think so.

Great shop with many interesting pieces. Got some awesome Rhino book ends.

People, we stumbled upon this business with a small entrance way that meanders into a massive area. Admittedly it would not appeal at all to some people as the huge area is absolutely groaning with old & very old pieces of furniture, lamps, china, crystal, pictures, timepieces to name just a fraction of interesting/fascinating things to peruse. However the owner is in "cuckoo land" with the completely unrealistic prices especially in today's economic climate and for such a small target market for specifically old acquisitions. In reality, prominent signage should be displayed, asking to make an offer for anything that one may like! Steve Franklin Rotorua

Freezing cold shop, you need extra warm clothes on when you visit, but, I recommend that you do not have not go anywhere near this shop. You can't move around freely as it is way over stocked. Over stocked may sound great but it's nearly all rubbish. You could find so much of their products at garage sales for next to no money compared to their extremely high prices.

Quirky store with handmade and New Zealand made items. Spent ages discovering beautiful items.

Great place where to shop gifts! 🎁

Definitely don't pass up a chance to visit! From the cute little "sit and knit" space outside, to the free pacman arcade game and all of the amazing locally made bits and bobs...this shop is a must do when in Napier!

Cool and quirky shop for gifts etc

Full of cool, weird and wonderful objects, locally made art and some clothing. Find a gift, something for yourself, or just have a wander round, something might catch your eye. Definitely different to your average gift shop (that seem to be popping up in every town, all selling the exact same imported junk).

Spacious shop with hand crafted jewellery, clothes, cards, decor and body products. Kiwiana elements too. Always great for a treat or present.

What a wonderful find, a collection of NZ artists and crafters.Unique gifts for all.An assortment of Map coasters, clothing,,hair tonics, children’s toys, artwork .All at reasonable prices and staff are lovely.Will even gift wrap.Highly recommend.

Loved the back of the shop where you could watch possums singing on the road again and other native birds, this is free to view. All kinds of possum.products all.price.ranges.depending on.what you.need

Opossum world has great quality Possum fur products and provides an interesting place at the back of the shop to learn about possums and their history. As possums are a threat to native birds and need to be killed off anyway, using their fur for clothing is a great way to recycle. The fur is soft and a great alternative to other animals that don't need to be killed. Overall great store layout, and if you have the money, it is definitely worth spending at opossum world.

My daughter LOVES her open finger opossum gloves she bought here. She wishes she would have gotten a second pair, perfect for Canada weather! Very nice store, fun Opossum info in the back. Really great customer service representatives. Will definitely visit again!

I have been so much warmer in winter since I've had a possum merino jersey from here, which has 35% possum fur. I didn't realise some have more than others until the helpful owner told me. What a difference! It's a lovely shop, with some fun possum exhibits too, and the sound of the NZ bush

I went to this store looking for wool to knit some cool winter socks and YES they stocked a merino and possum blend which was absolutely perfect. The lady owner was so helpful and informative. I think l’ll be knitting a few pair so I’ll definitely go back. They really do stock pretty much everything possum or opossum.

Opossum World is an interesting shop found along the Marina Parade that might be worth a stop for those interested in the history of opossums and how they came to be such a nuisance in New Zealand. As should be obvious, you can purchase a range of souvenirs and other products made opossum fur. At first, we thought this was a bit like the Merino wool shops you can find around New Zealand. However, in addition to the opossum fur products, you will find some general information relating to how the opossums where introduced to New Zealand and the ecological problems that have caused. This makes a nice element to visiting Opossum World. We had no idea there were 70 million wild opossums in NZ now. In the end, Opossum World is not your typical souvenir shop. Items felt a bit pricey but we enjoyed learning more about the opossum situation during our stop here. In this regard, we found this an interesting shop to consider visiting in Napier.

Worth popping in to see the displays at the back. Bit of fun with the stuffed possums and birds, and educational too. Learn about the damage that possums do to NZ native wildlife. Note: now in new location on Hastings St.

I was certain I would find something here as they easily have thousands of items, but because there’s so much, it was difficult to wade through it all to find quality pieces. Many jewellery items in the cases at the front wouldn’t qualify as antiques. All items are labeled and overall seemed like good prices. Their website showcases some of their items which is easy to navigate. If you like vintage/antique shops, definitely stop in as you might be lucky and find something. Be prepared to spend an hour or more looking through everything though!

Whenever we come to Napier, we have to stop by here to check what they have. This is actually where we found both mine and my wife's engagement rings, such a great find. Staff are lovely and unlikely most antique stores, everything is very well laid out!

The staff were very helpful and accomodating. She was trying to help us find what exactly what we were looking for. Thanks Anne! They have a variety of things from jewellery to clothing. So many pretty things. Highly recommend to check out!

Beautiful collection of jewellery and glassware! Lady was very helpful in helping me decide between 2 rings

Absolutely wonderful to talk to and purchase from! Friendly and understanding staff, willing to help with any needs or concerns. I purchased online from them, and the process was easy, streamlined, and the customer service was great! 5 stars from me, would love to shop here again.

Purchased flapper dresses for all 3 grandchildren and hair pieces/ headband Was a bit pricey for used

We dropped in in passing and ended up spending half the afternoon here! Their offerings are interesting and spread over quite a few areas of interest. I found it very nostalgic and found a few things that I once owned myself or that relatives have owned. Well curated, not just a glorified op shop. We will be back again!

Interesting local art collection. Always worth a visit in trendy Ahuriri

My favourite little place to buy something different.

Wonderful, creative space in a relaxing part of Napier. Not only is the gallery as lovely as it looks it the images, it is beautiful in person. Fill of so many dreamy items, for any taste. Have always enjoyed my interactions with the gorgeous ladies who work/own this dreamy gallery.

I've been an on line shopper for a while now and I got to visit this gorgeous boutique clothing store this morning and I love it. Trendy, fashionable. Pop in if you are in Napier. A must visit.

My Favourite shop. Wonderful helpful staff, and a stunning selection of Label clothing. The best shop in Napier !!

Always great friendly warm service a pleasure to be in this store, brousing also is a comfortable experience.

Got lots of lovely things

Do not buy the Luscious Suite or any luxury feather couch from Hunter Home. 12months on we still have feathers shedding to the point the cushions are misshapen and we must tidy feathers up every day. The base cover detaches and the base cushions walk off the front of the couch everyday. I have spent the last 8months regularly chasing the After Sales team & Regional Mngr still with no resolution. I've been told we should have expected that every day we must take every cushion off, tuck in the base cover, fluff every cushion & clean up feathers. Save yourself a lot of money & disappointment and shop round the corner at Big Save Furniture, at least they stand by the quality of their products.

Amazing Furniture Store!

Lovely shop and products, has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Great store, with gorgeous products and so accessible.
