This may not be a shop for travellers, but it could be. Especially if you are looking for some cuisine from home. There is a very interesting array of wine here and lots of other goodies to go with it, both from New Zealand and overseas. Almost a delicatessen. I spent a lot of time just looking and pondering. Now I can go back and buy from time to time.
I found French wines, Spanish wines, Argetinian wines, Kiwi wines, oh and Limoncello too!! Not forgetting the Aussie wines, reds are the best!!
They have a cheese section with tasting facilities, also with wine, so you can match your wine with your fromage :-)
What to buy: WINE, coffee specially ground, and cheese and stuff.
Nice place to pick up tasteful and classy gifts, make good gifts for hosts you may be staying a night or two with on your travels around New Zealand.
What to pay: Well nothing is really cheap in this shop, it is not a discount shop. However you can get things here not easily procurable around NZ. I don't mind paying for such items. But most are still affordable!

What corrugated iron can do for your town
For all the fuss and hullabuloo about Tirau, there's not a lot of it. Having said that, it's still worth a stop and you can easily wile away a few hours if you chance your arm in some of the art and...

Tirau - almost in the middle of nowhere
En route to Rotorua from Auckland (a bit over halfway), we happened across the little town of Tirau, population only 600. It was right on the highway and we decided it was worth stopping for, for a...
