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 .

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!

I bought two Paua shells there and they had one of the best prices for whole shells. However, they…read moreclaimed to have given me a huge discount on them: somewhere from $25 per shell down to $15 per shell. That, I later found, was complete hogwash. Everyone sells those shells for cheap, and they weren't giving me any discount whatsoever. Good price; just negotiate and know the market price before entering the store.

I've been buying colostrum from them for about 10 years. From what I've in the colostrum market,…read moretheirs is the only one that is organic, regeneratively farmed, pasture- and humanely-raised, without other nefarious ingredients. A doctor I was seeing recommended it for gut health and the brand she sold me was OK, but pricey, not organic and had some extra ingredients I wasn't interested in. Add that to very reasonable prices, fast and trackable shipping (free with purchases over $75 NZ - about $45 USD depending on the exchange rate) and KILLER customer service. They've always had a great selection of colostrum products, but have expanded into some other supplement areas. So far, I've only tried the plain powder, powder with manuka honey and the plain tablets. But I would recommend everything they sell. If you're in the market for superior products and customer service, give NutriNZ a try.

Although it was daunting figuring out where the items were located (since it all looks the same), I received great customer service. The lady at the pharmacy pointed me in the right direction and also provided her recommendation for the best/strongest product. There was a decent size check out line but they were manning each register so the line went quickly.

In this regard, I really needed a book to read for my long return flight home. Book selection was somewhat limited as I was looking specifically for romantic novels... and they didn't have many of the popular authors we have in the states. But I did come across what I'm thinking is gonna be an amazing read. Customer service was great as well.
