Like every Bunnings this is a cavernous space filled with everything a home handy person would want…read more- and then some! When you can find one, the staff are friendly and helpful. I do struggle with why they only gave an information counter and one, maybe two, checkouts open. Why have do many tolls and never use them.

One of NZ's most popular and iconic prides, The Warehouse prides itself on being 100% Kiwi owned…read more It's also one of the few places in NZ that gives you a money-back guarantee. As for its products - well, take your chances! It's a parallel import heaven! They buy their stuff in bulk at discounted prices - and you never really know what you're going to find. One day you might come across an exercycle, the next some fishing tackle or cleaning detergent. It's truly random - and a lot of it isn't the best quality known to humanity - but at least you can get a refund if it breaks in the alloted timeframe! They also produce their own brand of clothing and sell loads of mainstream CDs and DVDs, games and toys at cheap prices. This particular version of the red shed isn't nearly as good as the ones in Paraparaumu, Porirua City or central Wellington. It's much smaller with a more limited range. But if you're popping into next door Woolies, you might want to nip in here and have a peek. The Warehouse's motto is where everyone gets a bargain - and even if you don't come out the door with what you bargained for, you can guarantee that you'll find something - even if it's random junk you never needed in the first place! Occasionally you really will pick up a useful bargain though.
