  • 5/5 Ray L. 5 years ago on Google
    What an amazing gallery of local art. There were so many piece my wife and I were interested in and the girl behind the desk was very friendly and helpful, even contacting an artist about a piece we were interested in. The gallery is easy to find just behind all the restaurants by the water and was right next to the hotel we stayed in. Fine selection of wood carvings, pottery, paintings and jewelry. Prices may seem high, but they are one of a kind works from local artists, and in the range you should expect. If you're more interested in "tourist" aimed art, that can be found all over town on a tight budget (I suggest the Auckland War Museum).

    Amazing pieces covering a wide range of genre and media. A great starting point to see a wide range of NZ art.

    What an experience with all the tiki and lots of Māori talent exhibited. Highly recommend for pounamu if looking for a piece. I followed Artweek in The City Centre map to find this absolute gem of a place. Real, authentic souvenirs of New Zealand are here at varying prices to suit a range of tastes. Haere totika ki te hoko au taputapu!

    Eclectic collection of Maori art and jewelry. Great place to find unique things to bring home- pounamu is very nice and lots of nice wood items. Worth a visitml

  • 5/5 Aroha H. 4 years ago on Google
    Authentic and quality Maori art, jewellery and homewares. Dont go here if you want cheap tat as you wont find it here. Also staff are lovely and helpful. It pays to give yourself time to look around as doing a couple of laps around the store you keep seeing new things.

  • 2/5 Phillip S. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite a small yet packed gallery, there appears to be some very nice items in here. Unfortunately a Sunday for me, another couple already in the gallery. The assistant spent around 20 mins studiously ignoring me. I'll have to find somewhere else for a first time visit rememberance.

    Amazing place to get a unique taonga (gift/treasure) for yourself or a loved one. Stopped in and picked up some earrings and and maori prints for my daughter. Have a wide variety of crafts from wood carvings, pounamu (greenstone) jewellery, painted artworks, screenprints and a whole lot more. Support local maori artists and shop here. Mauri ora.
