Lovely little gift shop on the side of the main highway/thoroughfare - just look for the giant…read moresheep building! We stopped here between Auckland and Rotorua and were pleased to find great gifts and souvenirs. I was looking for wool items that don't cost an arm and a leg and they had just that. Great clearance/sale selection upstairs as well as stylish clothes that don't have wool in them. We ended up taking a much longer break here than anticipated as they had such great products! The ladies who work here are very sweet and I highly recommend you go and visit them!

We were in the neighborhood and needed to bring some snacks back home to give to friends. So we…read morecame to Countdown specifically looking for Tim Tam. The store is large and appears very clean. They have all the standard grocery items including a bakery section, butcher, and a somewhat tiny seafood section. Lots of produce as well. We ended up buying 15 packs of Tim Tam to give away... and a mandarin. The price for the Tim Tam wasn't the cheapest I've seen but they did have more varieties than the last three grocery stores I've been to. Plenty of parking and enjoyed the self-checkout so I wouldn't have to explain why I'm buying 15 packs of Tim Tam.

My most favorite New Zealand clothing boutique for spring and summer items yet! Neon Collective has…read moregreat quality, responsibly made, unique and with flair NZ and AUS made clothing & accessories at fair prices. I discovered N.C. on my most recent trip to the country. I wish I would have purchased more, but with the opposite seasons (US Spring & NZ Summer) the shop was more geared towards cooler weather clothing. All just the same, I wish I would have bought more items. I'm so happy with the 2 dresses and shorts I purchased! Check out Neon Collective. You won't regret it. In the few weeks I've been home, I've obsessed over their website at least half a dozen times, pondering having a friend stop in to pick out clothes to ship home to me .

Our visit was mid-morning on a Monday and we almost had the place to ourselves. We were able to…read moremake it through the entire place in less than an hour including taking photos with almost all of the artwork. It was an interesting experience and some of the photos are very entertaining. Tip: They have some items that you can use as props for some of the photos e.g. umbrella for the 'spout' of liquid. That's not obvious when you are there so you may need to ask.

Had a fantastic time at the 3D art gallery…read more We had a few hours to kill in Rotorua and found this through Google Reviews. Lots to do in the area. We arrived and were greeted by Robyn. She explained that we missed the farm tour by an hour. My girlfriend reeeealllly wanted to pet a sheep on our trip. Robyn went out of her way to take us over to the farm area and let us feed the sheep - trip made. Sooooo amazing! We then went back to the 3D Trick Eye exhibits. So many funny and interesting artworks. We took about 30 photos each. They had an employee that helped us take couples photos - Loved that. Also, loads of parking and nice bathrooms. Would give 6 out of 5 if I could.

Kind of pricey for merchandise and rentals. Selection isn't very good…read more Rented a paddleboard from this shop so I could go paddleboarding and paddle-surfing at the nearby beach. They charge $20/hour, or $40/4 hours. Obviously, most people use it for about 2 hours anyways, so effectively it's $40 anyways. There was only 3 board to choose from and the paddles were really bad, and rusted out so you can no longer extend the handle. The young woman working at the shop was nice, but the male store manager was not nice, impatient and not helpful at all. I had no choice but to rent from them because none of the other surf shops had paddleboards. I asked for the wifi passcode just to sync my email real quick, they gave it to me but after 5 min, they turned off the router so I couldn't use it anymore. Talk about passive aggressive. Do NOT rent from here, there's a much better surf shop across the street if you want to just rent surfboards. On a small day, I would recommend just renting a long surf board instead!
