The Bead Shop

We run our beautiful bead business from an old cottage on the outskirts of town, 2 minutes from the centre. You can't miss us - we have a colorful frontage, with large multi-colored beads hanging outside. Look for our OPEN flag and the often photographed Paua Koru on the wall out front! See you soon, for lots of fun, creativity and gifts!! Come and make your own personalized gift or simply find something beautiful that we have made.

Now this is my type of gift shop! It's in such a lovely place, in the beautiful Harbour Street, with an abundance of special products, and lovely staff who provide the friendliest, most helpful service. I couldn't resist treating myself to a couple of keepsakes from a wonderful trip to New Zealand. Great quality products, many of which are eco-friendly at fair prices!

NZ Greenstone and Art

Reviewed By cobrcon

If you care about the quality and authenticity of your taonga, you can rest assured that NZ Greenstone and Art has your back, front and side. Staying true to the tikanga, the traditional practices of the people who have been working with pounamu for hundreds of years. Choose from a selection of pounamu and taonga displayed in the shop or even commission a custom piece to be crafted in the shop from a variety of greenstone types, within an exceptional timeframe and at an extremely reasonable price! Kia ora!

Reviewed By feijoas - Wellington, New Zealand

We came across the Curiosity Shoppe just as we were passing through Ranfurly on the Central Otago Rail Trail. If you are into antiques then this relatively hidden spot is worth a look. They have a really eclectic range of ceramics, pottery, cutlery, and glassware etc. We pulled up our bikes just for a look and left with our panniers filled with carefully wrapped Crown Lynn treasures. They also offer shipping which is much more sensible than bumping down the trail with crockery!

A Little Something

Local gifts, arts and crafts and the home of Gold Panning in Arrowtown. A Little Something, formerly Honey & Cocoa, collate together the best locally made crafts and goods such as local jewellery, art, ceramics, cards, balms, nut butters and honey- with excellent New Zealand products such as Merino Kids and Matakana Botanicals. We also stock Arrowtown essentials here such as Moana Rd Sunglasses and NZ made insect repellent and sunblock. A must when you hit the rivers looking for gold. A Little Something has hands on gold panning tutorials outside the store, then hire some gear and spend the afternoon in one of the most picturesque locations in the world. Will you find gold?

Ordered online, received very quickly, and extremely satisfied with the 950 MGO manuka honey. Trustworthy information and wonderful product! Looking forward to planning a trip so that I can visit the store in person.
