Our friends who had lived in NZ for a few years recommended this shop to us as a good spot to get souvenirs that wasn't too tacky or touristy. I had checked their Instagram out and loved the styles!
When we arrived, the staff member had stepped out so we had to return ~20 minutes later to be let in. Upon entering, the shop was much smaller than I'd expected.
The shop items were very cute, with cool designs and great options. I just wish there was more! There were probably 5-6 womens styles of shirts and hoodies, 6-8 mens styles, and a few hats. I would have loved to see more variety in colors and design: some I loved the design and not the color, and vice versa.
They do offer one small changing room with a curtain, but with many people in a small space, a line starts to form fast. I ended up trying a hoodie on just in the store and guessed on the shirt.
I ended up getting a soft t-shirt and SUPER soft hoodie for myself and a corduroy bucket hat for my brother. I had a bit of sticker shock at the register: these prices are not cheap! I had gotten accustomed to the NZ dollar pricing, but these were especially high. I will say, they are not skimping on the quality of materials!
Service was a bit short and not as friendly as we'd found throughout NZ - they seemed a little annoyed by customer questions. But overall, a great spot for souvenirs you won't find at other shops!
PS - there's a ROAM shop in Te Anau that is much bigger and great variety / changing rooms / customer service! read more
