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.

    I’ve been going to Zamm for several years now, and she never fails to provide me with the insights and direction I’m seeking. You just know she’s onto it and “gets it”. She’s kind, empathetic and constructive, and her advice also always comes from a place of personal and spiritual improvement and development, which is so important when facing life’s ongoing challenges. Highly recommended - she’s always on the nose and delivered!

    Beautiful little shop. It has unique items ranging from about $10 into the thousands. The service is amazing and the stories behind art work are given freely with no push to sell anything. If you like quirky gifts, beautiful jewellery and gorgeous little artworks I recommend this place! Easy to find on the wharf too.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Victorian Parfumery. We appreciated the history, the displays and the fragrances. Would definitely recommend.

    A must to visit when in Wellington. Not disappointed. The high standards of both product and service have not slipped. Highly recommend. Also purchased a gift card. It was a simple, quick process.

    Bohemein Fresh Chocolates. They offer a variety of hot chocolate drinks and loose chocolates to snack on. The specialty chocolate creations are artful and likely equally tempting.

    This is a real gem of a secondhand bookshop and well worth checking out if you're in Welly. There are plenty of shelves full of treasures of all kinds, from photography to cookbooks to graphic novels, crime and fiction. You can find anything here from the well battered classic to recent releases. Definitely a great place to spend some time and maybe find a treasure or two.

    Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly too. Worth checking out.

    If you want a wide variety of souvenirs, from tacky to fancy, this is your place. It's a lot of good stuff in a small space.

    Small busy space where staff go out of their way to help and to make you feel welcome. We were looking for a specific style of Jean, and were given a box of options to choose from when we couldn’t find what we were looking for on the rack. No pressure to buy despite the effort staff had gone to. Outstanding service.

    Loved this store! Beautiful handcrafted gifts and souvenirs to suit different budgets. Very different from most gift stores in that everything is of a lovely quality. Great service too. Highly recommended.

    We are grandparents over from the UK. We saw photos of this bookshop on the web and decided to take our grandchildren there for a bit of fun on a grey Sunday afternoon. The stock was amazing and the staff were really helpful. We sat on a little sofa in the toy corner and took time to make a good selection for a seven year old and a four year old. Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly staff.

    This gallery has a wonderful selection of Kiwiana and Island Bay original gifts and art, as well as other gifts (handcrafted and imported). Well worth a trip to Island Bay. Highly recommend combining with a visit to the Blue Belle Café across the road for the best pies in Wellington, brunch/lunch menu and lots of wonderful cakes (lamingtons, ginger crunch lolly slice, brownies, muffins etc).

    The best place in town to get made to measure menswear - the first place I go. A fabulous team both front of house and workroom staff who will take time and care to get you exactly what you want. They'll keep your fitting details on file so the next visit is even easier.
    Great selection of modern garb from casual to more formal but they'll do what ever you like and get your new outfit fitted to perfection.
    Hats off to Clare and the team!

    I indulged in a 1hr Balinese massage with Linda. It was amazing, she is so skilled and I feel so much better after days of walking around the city. I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and friendly service she provided. Definitely recommend!

    Elegant objects, smart little sculptures, thought-provoking pieces. I first visited it 5 years ago and bought a cleverly assembled little "robot"; came back last month and found its "sister" (see photo). The owners are cultured people who obviously put a lot of thought in the items they exhibit (and design a lot of them). Highly recommended. In Miramar, just S of the airport and next to the Roxy, a former cinema and now an elegant bar & restaurant.
