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.

Love the fudge and that they offer tasting too. Have an outlet at the airport which is cool. You see kids faces in there, so much to look at and nice to pick a tasty treat for a trip away. Loads of choice and pricing is quite high for some stuff, but the fudge is yum!

Great little shop with a huge selection of sweets from all over the world. Being fond of licorice, we bought a tub full of every kind imaginable, and it is the best we have ever tasted. The allsorts were OK, nothing special, but the rest were outstanding. Prices were a little expensive, but you expect that when travelling.

We came here as it was very popular. We could barely move around as it was so crowded and it is a tiny shop. The lollies were nothing special- you could buy them from a supermarket if you wanted to. There were sour straps that were apparently from Germany; a bit weird since you can buy sour straps anywhere. There was lots of fudge which looked good, but apart from that there was nothing remarkable.

The Remarkable Sweet Shop is a beautiful store. It is a little shop with shelves of jars of lollies and sweets. The vibe in the shop was so cosy. Free fudge sampling, and a wide variety of different lollies. Sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan, international, and New Zealand favourites, there was something for everyone. Would definitely recommend. Only downside was that some things were a bit pricier than I was prepared to pay.

Fudge .... free samples. I bought a box for my son who is a fudge lover and a box for the rest of the family to share. Excellent but just don't leave it in the sun as it will melt :( as I found out. I bought a childhood favourite of mine - rhubarb and custard boiled sweets and shared them on the tour bus. The American family described them as "interesting".

It is a large sweet shop with a lot of things that are different from your corner store. They really enjoyed carrying around a very small shopping basket to fill. $28 later they had finished. If your looking to save money, maybe choose the warehouse. Loved the huge gummy bears, picture below.

I didn't notice the location in town and we didn't make it to Arrowtown this trip, so the Remarkables Sweet Shop wasn't on my radar at all. If our plane hadn't been delayed, I would never have stuck my head in to the airport store. But boy am I glad I did.
I bought gifts for my teenagers and husband back home that went over a treat - a really cool little Day of the Dead tin with skull-shaped candies for my daughter and an equally cool mustache tin with tiny mustache-spaced candy inside for my son, plus fabulously odd Dutch sweets that I'd never seen before anywhere else (school chalk-look peppermint-coated licorice), which the Dutch-born other half loved.
For myself I got a modest 100g of the chocolate chili fudge. At our next stop it went into my suitcase and I didn't taste it till I got back home. It was so utterly delicious that I immediately rationed myself to tiny slivers so I could eke it out for as long as possible. (It lasted 10 days.) If I'd known how great it was, I would have bought so much more!
The lady behind the counter was lovely too, offering lots of free samples so you can try before you buy.

I visited the shop to get some last minute souveniers but seemed like they only put one person to work here. Of course it was not her fault as there was big school group and she tried her best but I can't believe that the owners are so cheap. I already had bad experience in Queenstown with this shop previously so this visit made the shop look worse in my eyes.

Wide variety of candy from around the world. Somewhat overpriced. Small portions of certain selections. But it has every sweet one could imagine.
