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.

    Took advantage of an overcast rainy day to visit art galleries, museums and shops. The Little Red Gallery was a lovely place with some amazing art. Worth a visit.

    Thank you to Luke and Martha who recently assisted me in choosing the perfect pearl necklace, I love it! The quality and service is what makes this store different from the rest on the island.

    This is literally at the point where the bus stops. It is a perfume / fudge/ gift shop. We tasted some fudge and brought some with us. Also got some small candles which were ok price for the cook islands. Some stuff were slightly cheaper compared to the other shops, so went here and got some gifts as well.

    Absolutely gorgeous building. Loved the building alone let alone some beautiful artwork. Really lovely local artist pieces. Very reasonably priced pearls too and a lovely looking cafe out the back.

    A great little shop with such a wonderful assortment of items. They have such a range of things from pillow cover to books to bed spreads. The owner is very interesting to chat with about Island life.

    I stumbled on their stall today at the Sat market in Avarua. What absolute luck. The owner's daughter's frank, explicit, knowledgeable explanations about their Black Pearl farming production, her family's history in the industry, their future hopes... lead me to buy there and then. I had no intention to before she began patiently to hold my interest. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I may forget, regretfully, some of the facts & figures, but the feeling of respect for these farmers (holding onto principles of best quality from traditional methods) will always remain, especially when I wear my Manihiki Black Pearls.

    This quirky shop was a surprise, expecting a more touristy place we found rows of cool vintage shirts as well as so much else! I got a lovely orange sun hat and a vintage shirt for my husband, the floor tiles need to be seen!

    A lovely shop with wide range of local crafts and treasures, not to mention some interesting chilli/coconut sauces. We picked up some sauces and other souvineers here to bring home.

    Bought a waka paddle for our daughter, she loved it and used it for her first Vaka Eiva race. Would love to have bought a ukulele as well but they were all sold out.

    Really lovely selection of pearls of different grades and in different settings. The owner was great: very informative and helpful and no ‘hard sell’ which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended.
