Rare Creations, Interactive Wooden Art Gallery — Attraction in South Island

Going off Matts response. First of all Andreas. Your comment and actual hand gestures towards my kids. With you pointing your fingers to your eyes and then pointing to them, while saying I'm watching you, was uncalled for. You could clearly see, I was standing there with them. Matt, happens to be my 18 year old son that was there also supervising them, NOT HUSBAND. I understand your policy in supervising, but you encourage people to touch certain things and we all know, kids can move in a split second, in which in this case, they did. But, you could have been a little more polite and said, Excuse me, would you mind watching your kids. Not, excuse me, are you supervising your kids? It was the tone you used.

I had bought several items and some light shades from here previously. Will never...

AMAZING PLACE. We stopped in, attracted by the awesome rainproof chair lounger displayed outside. Within is a magical gallery/shop of super intelligent design furniture, art and gifts.
