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.

Haven't had the lollies but love this shop for the fudge. Love the decor and the overall look of the shop. There are so many flavors to try, it can be hard to choose, but the staff are all really friendly and are happy for you to try as many samples as you like (even though it's encouraged I feel a bit awkward trying too many haha). If, like me, you find fudge to be overpoweringly sweet, there are options with coffee and dark chocolate which aren't as sickly as others (I bought the flat white fudge and dark chocolate raspberry fudge), although that probably works in your favor as you can more easily ration your fudge haha. I like that the pieces are pre cut and wrapped which streamlines the buying process ($8.80 per 100gm, so you could ask them to choose a smaller or larger piece if you want, but they are all around the 100gm mark give or take) however I do wish you could purchase half sizes as well (you used to be able to buy minimum 50gm squares before they were pre cut and wrapped). They offer a six pack of quarter size (150gm pack) so if you like all the flavors in the pack you get a little more bang for your buck. There are larger packs as well if you're not fussy about which flavors. Fudge in general isn't cheap and neither is Queenstown haha so the price is pretty reasonable. Definitely a must do when in Queenstown.

The Remarkable Sweetshop is a must visit in Queenstown. I’ve been here many times. They offer you free fudge tastings which quickly and easily make you want to buy some. Also they have a very large amount of other sweets.

After a big day of high adrenaline action a visit to this sweet shop is a must.
This place is often crowded and the fudge is really remarkable- I tried a few free samples and bought some back to hotel.
Unfortunately none of it made it home back to Australia!
Huge selection of lollies. Something for everyone.

The sweets and decoration in this shop are lovely but I could not believe how the staff was treated. German boss/staff member was talking in very rude way to the other staff member and yelling though there were few customers in the shop. I found that shocking. Not that it's acceptable to talk to anyone like that. This German lady didn't greet me when I came to the shop but yelled to the other staff member though she was obviously busy. Whole time when I was there she ruined my mood being rude to her colleague. So I left empty handed.

So you love anything sweet? Then you dont want to skip this incredibly well stocked old fashioned sweet shops. Candies to chocolates and from kiwi favourites to a taste of the UK, these guys have it covered. And you definitely don't want to miss their fugees either - a whole cabinet of different flavours including creme brulee and apple pie. You probably even get a free tasting of different fudge flavours. What's not to love? You definitely don't want to miss this one if you like the sweet things in life.

Love their fudge but yes it is a little pricey if you are on a budget but a little goes a long way. Came a few years ago and wasy pokey was not there the last time so took some back as gifts. It's based on an all-time favorite ice cream flavor in NZ consisting of vanilla and honeycomb.

This place is awesome! So much to choose from, and the fudge choices are divine, and they let you taste test them too. I bought a variety of sweet souvenirs and they are all delicious. A great spot for anyone who has a sweet tooth.
