Our Reviews
Definitely worth a visit if you go past they have a bunch of souvenirs, people in the store working are super friendly and helpful 🙂
Such a lovely lady running this shop! So friendly, helpful and great with the kids!
We went in today and got 2 fridge magnets. Thank you for the chat and being so helpful. Highly recommend this little store.
There’s plenty to look at including locally made items. Lots of information about tours and local eats. Push-bikes for hire and the lady attending was very friendly and helpful.
Brilliant service – beautiful gift wares by local artists. They even convinced us (it didn’t take much) to stay an extra night to visit the local markets. Highly recommend a visit.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Bikes were alright. Went to 1770 with them and back:)
