About this shop
Takanini's vintage stop — two shops in one, with sized clothing racks on one side and the typewriters, vases and mugs they're known for on the other. Reviewers rate the styling and displays; pricing draws the odd grumble. With SPCA opposite and Tōtara Hospice down the road, it anchors an easy three-shop circuit.

Two stores in one: clothes on one side, organised by size, and kitchenware, vintage and kids' stuff on the other. The vintage is the calling card — vases, books, typewriters, mugs — extensive, and often sitting in the window so you can scout from the street. There's a wall of CDs for the rummagers, and a notable amount of good-quality kids' clothing and toys.
Open seven days and reasonably priced. It anchors a fast, walkable Takanini circuit — SPCA directly opposite and Tōtara Hospice down the road, all within 200m. One quirk: they're selective about clothing donations, so phone ahead before bringing bags in.

BEAUTIFUL STAFF FIRST AND FOREMOST half of my closet has been curated at this specific thrift, the work is put in to make sure no rubbish is on the shelves and that effort shows. Keep up the effort team! Thank you for what you do harassment towards anyone over such pitiful things like prices is not okay. REMEMBER to be kind. No one has it easy right now :)
A nice laid out op shop, prices were reasonable. Also loved how these cups were displayed.
Beautiful op shop! So much thought has been put into staging rooms/ areas. The styling is impeccable. There is a decent range but the prices are veering into 'designer-op shop' territory; which is fairly expected for a boutique-style store.
