Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Best shop to go to for beautifully made New Zealand gifts - from jewellery to pottery - and more!! Every purchase is wrapped carefully. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

This is my go-to store for buying gifts - especially for overseas friends - everything here is made in NZ - with an emphasis on local South Island producers and craftspeople. Gorgeous things you won’t see anywhere else- it’s also where I tell family to go to buy for me! Jewellery is a standout, but also lots of quirky goodies, Māori products - just go! (There are 2 stores one in town centre and one at The Tannery mall,)

My go to store for special things to give to friends and family. Quality, crafted and mostly NZ sourced items. Everything has a story behind it.

The store inside a container curates artwork from around New Zealand. A range of uniquely Kiwi gifts including jewelery, art work, embroidery and high-quality knickknacks makes it an interesting place to shop.

Hapa is my favourite place to go to find a last minute gift. So many awesome quirky things. I like to be able to support local designers and makers, and the service at Hapa is always very friendly.
Oh and they have a particularly good range of jewellery... dangerous.

Different from other mainstream NZ souvenir shops, HAPA offers slightly more artistic and creative stuff. It's situated in a backyard off Cashel.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
