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.

The eclectic variety of unique items selected by the owner are all exhibited in a similar unique yet quirky environment. I've been to many countries around the world but consider this to be in my top 3 of craft places to visit. The staff are also welcoming and friendly. Carrie. Essex UK

really good service and friendly help both from the owner and employees in the store. We bought 6 pieces of greenstone jewelry as well as 3 pieces of wall art. Come back to the store several times throughout the day. Had some good conversations and the children ended up getting some raw pieces of greenstone, which they were also really happy about.

The Hokitika craft gallery has a beautiful selection of treasures to select from. Many beautiful artworks, trinkets, and keepsakes can be found. I had a wonderful experience in the store and enjoyed finding out more about the local artists.
