About this shop
The newest of Takanini's trio, open since March 2026 and still building stock — women's clothing is the current strength. Early reviews split: neat and friendly for some, too dear for others (our field note calls it reasonable, not cheap). Directly opposite Red Cross, it's the easy add-on that makes Takanini a three-shop run.

A small, newly opened SPCA shop — the standard SPCA footprint, and only just getting going. Lots of women's clothing (the main reason to come), with a little furniture, books and toys, and plenty of everyday bric-a-brac while the stock builds. Prices are reasonable — not cheap, but not overpriced.
The real drawcard is the location: directly opposite Red Cross and down from Tōtara Hospice, so you can do three shops in one go, with easy parking right outside. This is the "while I'm here" stop of the trio.
