Terrible experience at this place today ! Been this place many times and purchased quite a few stuffs before. Recently, quality of the stock drops dramatically AND became more and more expensive than other antique shops in Auckland. Found a medium size sea shell which has been there over years (coz I used to come this place quite often, I saw the shell there a few years ago), obversely the owner asking fat too much than the market value, so I tried to offer a market value for it, the owner replied so rude and I felt I could be hit if I still stay there. Wow, what an “excellent” antique shop owner ! Customer just try to offer what they think it worth, if you don’t want to sell, it is fine, your choice BUT pls be polite! No doubt why this place has been running down so quickly. Ask too much on price, no quality of stock, rude service. Well done...

The owner is very knowledgeable and is always happy to help if you're looking for something in particular, just call him. If he doesn't have it he can probably source it for you. I even take overseas visitors here to have a look as it gives an insight into old NZ. Ray is so helpful, check out his Facebook videos for all the new...
Read moreI've been always eyeing this place and had never the chance to visit . Today we did and it was wonderful.So unique... unlike other antique shops we've been to. There was something to this shop that made it actually feel as though we entered into the past when we were sifting thru the countless displays. The prices are obviously high but I would think that these products are justly priced for their good condition and authenticity. Ray has a warm and welcoming personality too. At one point I actually mistook him for one of the many statues displayed in the shop☺. I will visit again and...
