We've had a refresh! North Shore ReStore is now North Shore Op Shop — same big blue store at Wairau Park, now at Unit 15/18 Link Drive. Come see the new fit-out: books, homewares, plants and plenty of finds. 💙

The new Wairau Valley ReStore, in the Link Drive complex next to St John — and a big step up from the old site. Habitat's resource-recovery programme means you'll find things a normal op shop can't carry: building fittings and hardware with their own dedicated areas, plus racks of stock donated straight from big-label retailers, some of it as-new.
Half of one side is crockery, crystal and teacups, there's a lot of genuinely nice furniture, and collectables, sports gear and shoes round it out. Expect prices a notch above the neighbours — but the quality of what lands here runs higher too.

About this shop
Not your usual op shop — Habitat's resource-recovery programme fills this new Link Drive store with things others can't stock, including racks of as-new retail donations. Quality is the theme our field note and the reviews below share; pricing is where reviewers split, sitting a step above the strip. Come for the good stuff, not the bargain bin.
