Hokitika Craft Gallery

Great variety of art, craft and giftware. Well worth a visit. Friendly helpful staff.

I had the joy of visiting quirky, atmospheric Hokitika in the middle of stormy weather at the beginning of January this year. The place is enchanting and I would love to go back for the Driftwood Festival as well as the Wild Food Festival. This gallery was the icing on the cake, with great quality local gifts, and high quality New Zealand art and crafts. It is run by Wilderness Gallery photographer Juergen Schacke and his wife Monika with style, friendliness and excellent service.After leaving I decided I had made a mistake in not buying one of the items I had seen and contacted the gallery by email. It was no problem for them to identify it and post it on to me.Juergen and Monika have recently rescued this gallery (and already run the excellent Wilderness Gallery next door) and have made a wonderful job with the space. I will be back!

One of the most fascinating gift shops i have had the pleasure of walking into . The price is up there , but the high quality and attention to detail is out of this world . We were so impressed that we bought a few garden ornaments . The staff member was very polite and helpful.

Awesome gallery, welcoming and inviting with beautiful succulent garden by the entry and amazing artwork inside!

So inspiring, they stayed open especially for us as we can in at 4pm when they shut

I had a really fantastic experience with this place! I tracked down a piece of jewellery that I saw on the internet that was in their show room. I live in France but I wanted to get it to my mum in Nz for her birthday. The owner was great and replied quickly to my email confirming that the piece was available and organising it all through PayPal so that I could have it delivered to my mum. Really great, fast and friendly customer service. I am super appreciative ♥️

There are several good shops selling green stone in town. We found it great that they work TOGETHER, recommending the competitor" to help you find YOUR stone. Great community!"

Lovely shop with a variety of beautiful crafts. The shop is run by some of the artists in the co-op who were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend stopping in if you are looking for high quality local crafts. I bought a gorgeous merino blanket scarf to take home to Canada with me. I love it.

Terrific crafts of all kinds from remarkably talented artists. Many of the items are reasonably priced, the variety is amazing. The physical space is beautiful, welcoming, calming, and elegant. Stop in and fall in love with a beautiful piece of art. As a wood turner there was a broad selection of items to admire and appreciate.Juergen is a delight, and he's created a very special place to enjoy.
