About this shop
A medium-sized Sallies that hides its best stock in plain sight — the good finds are scattered through the racks, not in the window. Reviewers keep mentioning the staff (some by name), and our field note backs the approachable pricing and fast-moving furniture. The natural first stop on a Papakura loop, with Loving Hands three doors up.

A medium-sized Sallies that doesn't always look full from the door — but it rewards a proper look, with really good stuff dispersed through the racks and everything priced in a very approachable way. Lots of clothing, bric-a-brac, kids' toys and shoes, plus furniture that rotates often and is usually pretty good.
Do it as a Papakura loop — Loving Hands is three doors up and the SPCA shop is close by — then finish with a bite across the road at Broadway Food Court. Easy parking above Farmers or on the street.

Nice selection of items, friendly staff
I dealt with Amita....she was 👏 amazing... Knowledgeable, kind and very professional. A credit to your organization....I wish all retail staff were as consciousness as her
I love supporting the cause and I did buy some things to give my part back to the cause .
Lovely team went above and beyond to find a sentimental blanket my son dropped in the store. I've never had a bad experience here. Shops great :)
I've been to this family store literally my whole life. I always saved up my coins to buy whatever tiny ornament pulled on my heart strings as a child. Not a lot has changed for me as an adult. Lovely shop, almost always has something to bring home with you. Staff are usually very friendly and helpful. I will never not love this shop.
