5dThe leopard roller skates are still someone’s to find! This store is great for ladies & kids clothes, art, furniture. Cathedral Cove canvas is really premium I’m surprised it’s not sold in a month
About this shop
The plain-and-simple stop on the Link Drive strip: deep racks sorted by size and the full spread, furniture through to linen, in a warehouse-style room. The reviews below run mixed on price and service, and nobody comes for the styling — but it sits two doors from St John, steps from the rest, an easy add to the crawl.

Netball-court sized and two doors from St John on the Link Drive strip, with everything organised by size. You'll find the full spread here — furniture, clothing, kids' stuff, homewares, linen.
It's a plainer shop than its neighbours — more warehouse than boutique — but that's exactly why it earns its place on the circuit: it's ten steps from the others and the racks run deep, so it's an easy add while you're on the strip.

Children’s books at $8 and even $10 each some tattered and quite old. What happened to making it affordable for parents to buy books to read to their children. I used to volunteer at a Red Cross shop and I never priced them over $2 each, so families can afford to read to their precious ones at such a young age. I genuinely felt that this shop was over priced. We did end up spending $35 however on books but I left me feeling like not returning. As when my husband got to th counter, one of the cheap warehouse books had multiple sticker prices on it, and the cashier said it would be $3, but clearly there was another sticker for a lesser price a worker had put on it, it just seemed so trivial to try squeeze more dollars out of us when we were already spending so money on all the other stuff at their store.
The set out is spacious & clean. One of the volunteers was lovely. Price range is average on clothing, other item prices varied depending on what they were.
