This shop was a life saver as it stocked all kinds of clothes for the beach and also for our night out. The shop is tiny and busy but very cute and quirky with lots of lovely things and not overpriced like many tourist places. The assistant was very helpful with useful information about transport and places to eat. There is no tourist information in this village so this shop must be it. Well worth a visit ..

My girls cannot walk past without eyeing up the baskets of beaded bracelets, 3 for $5 and you can't beat that for value! Inside the store the choice goes on with a few more pricey options and lovely designs in the clothing range. There is much more jewellery, sun glasses, jandals, t-shirts, bandannas, sarongs and rompers. This store embodies the laid back holiday feeling that is Waiheke.

Super fine Merino wool, as iconic to NZ as the comeback kid Marmite and All Blacks…read more This little company has made its business out of 'Superfine' Merino wools. They have a few outlets in exotic NZ location and Waiheke Island is one of them. The shop is in the heart of Oneroa and is a good place to browse their product range which ranges from kids gear to mens and womens designer pieces. But you will have to pay for the quality, the cheapest item is still over $20 and it is just a head band which doubles as a neck warmer. With the nice designs that Glowing Sky create I know I would get wear out of a lot of their items so the $200 or so you need to pay for a cardy is probably worth it when you think about how much use you'd get. Quite steep though. Keep the focus on the quality and you won't mind about the price. This is great NZ fashion, glad they chose Waiheke as one of their outlet stores.

In a stroke of genius, the coat hangers are marked with what sizes are available, instead of chaotic racks and cluttered shelves. Already they are stocked with some great Autumn/ Winter numbers, especially shirts from the Italian Poggianti brand. The staff member was so astute, and yet casual in his demeanor, I couldn't fault him. I forgot we had service like that in menswear stores in Auckland. Well worth the short walk from Queen St to experience the premium fashion of this exceptional little store.

Oh Lordy! Black Box has an outlet store! Why did I not know of this before now, I ask you…read more I originally first fell for the Black Box brand on my first foray into The Department Store in Takapuna. Now that I know they actually have their own store,and things are actually cheaper than where you would buy them originally I am hooked. It helps that they had a babe'n sales assistant on the day when I went in there, all dark hair and tatts and well dressed and oh my god did I tell you I love this store! He was actually very helpful. This isn't your typical outlet store, they actually have stuff that is being sold at other places at the same time, its not end of lines or just stuff that no one bought. It's cheap AND its not last seasons. As well as great clothes, they also do amazing shoes too. Sales assistant guy: call me!

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING. This place is dangerous with a capital D. It's got all the top brands…read moreyour could ever want at cheap prices. It's so good, but oh so bad. Every time I go there they've got something I desperately want and can easily justify to myself why I should have it. The clothes are good looking, good quality and are a good bargain. I'd go there especially if you want jeans because they have heaps of them and jeans can be really expensive. The staff are really helpful and being in such a good location, the shop is really handy for all those wardrobe emergencies. My biggest recommendation is that you go there before you go anywhere else because there's nothing worse than buying something only to see it way cheaper later on! Save yourself the pain and heartbreak by going there today.

However this does not mean there are huge distinctions between the mens and womens areas of the shop - there is actually quite an androgynous feel about the clothing on display, from the beanies to duffel coats, bar the odd Lonely Hearts dress or two. This makes for a nice range of casual, easy-to-wear street gear, perfect for days at uni but easily styled up with a pair of heels or some dress shoes. In terms of the service, I was helped today by a friendly girl who sympathised wonderfully with my proportion dilemma with pants and did a great job at trying to help me what I was looking for (unfortunately it was one of those cases where that 'in-between' size does not exist). I will certainly be back though, as Area 51 is a boutique filled with a great range of some of the best NZ and international brands.

I have twin 16 year olds who have grown up wearing clothing predominantly from Hallensteins they are fussy but have a sort of simplistic style/trend, they love the tailored look as well as the different trench coats, chinos & merino tops on offer. Of course as a mum of twins I absolutely love the two for one deals!!! If their are any part-time jobs going the boys said that this is one of the places they would be happy to apply/work at - which also speaks well of their experiences in store also. Well done Hallensteins!

We've been in quite a few times over the years picking up either something we forgot for the beach or maybe a great item that was on sale. My most memorable visit to this store was when we (successfully) popped in to shop for bikinis for the girls, our puppy was just a wee thing. We were allowed to bring in pup, a cute little Labrador how could anyone resist. Well, the shopping went on a little longer than anticipated and we didn't read the cue and puppy could not hold it anymore. Embarrassing moment but the people behind the counter were amazing about the whole thing, no big deal. This is a really laid back shop, great gear, great sales people and great attitude when it comes to family members of the four legged kind.
