Outstanding friendly and helpful service. Wonderful glass objects to admire. I bought my 5th glass pendant today. Very friendly and cuddly puss cats enhance the atmosphere! Excellent place to purchase gifts in a wide price range.

The Mokau Museum and Art Gallery highlights the rich and varied history of the region surrounding the museum as well as showcasing artists from the Waikato and Taranaki region.
Reviewed By Sunjoy
This museum has a great collection of old newspapers, various household (and beyond) items (from electric dog collars to washing machines) and also displays some of the Maori history. We had an enjoyable time scanning the vast collection of newspapers (all of them available to open and read) and looking over - and reminiscing for some of us - the old household items on display. There is a nice relaxed feel to the museum and it is definitely worth the time to stop and explore.

The world is full of amazingly talented artists and designers. People that transform paints and oils, metals and woods, fabrics and clay into sculptures, jewellery, ceramics and works of art. Quirky Fox works with a carefully curated selection of New Zealand and international artists to bring these pieces of art from their studio into your home.

Taranaki's oldest & largest book, stationery, gift and toy store. In 1926 Hawera welcomed it's first book store and to this day, while it may have a different name is still in the same location with the same purpose!

What a delightful unexpected find! We stopped on a wet day looking for an art fix and discovered this wonderful classy gallery with adjacent art shop and cafe. Great spot to while away some time - and the shop was a fun browse as well. We didn't try the cafe this visit but will be back. A bonus - clean loos :-) and a very helpful information centre in the same complex. Recommend.
