    Established in 1863, this department store offers real quality items and staff who are well trained, extremely well mannered and very knowledgable in their department. "Kirks" prides itself on it's famous courteous, unpressured personal service.

    Oh where to start!! Mont Blanc pens, Burberry woollens, amazing kitchen utensils, Sabatier knives of course......., toys, home furnishing, clothes and much more. Oh and the makeup and skin care is outstanding. The ladies at the Clarins counter are the BEST!! So obliging and helpful, I went out of the shop laden with the product, and VERY happy too.

    Well it's more expensive than normal shops, but Hey!! the items you buy there are very very high quality. You get what you paid for!

    Average price, supermarket standards.

    Lambton Quay
  • Tip Rating:
  • Lambton Quay is the central shopping street in Wellington, lined with business towers and houses, the ground floors are usually a mix of cafes and bars, arcades and malls, up-scale and down-scale stores. This is where you'll find everything you's want to shop for. But don't stop, continue past the Old Bank, up Wiilis Street, Manner Mall and Cuba Mall and onto Courtenay Place, which is where you find most of the bars and cafes.

    Moore Wilsons: Where the professionals shop.
  • Tip Rating:
  • This shop is amazing and a must see for any foodies visiting Wellington. There is such an array of goods, ranging from electronic kitchen appliances to food supplies. For us down here in the Sth Pacific, being able to access some ingredients or items from Europe or other regions of the world, can sometimes be quite hard. But MooreWilsons make life a lot easier with their extensive range of imported items. Plenty of local goods and ingredients as well. This shop is pleasant, enjoyable and has something of an entertainment aspect as well.

    Wine, Beer and Spirit supplies here too. Food ingredients for cooking. Crockery, kitchen items including electronic and appliances etc. Glasses, kitchen/dining linen.

    If you are into embroidery and/or patchwork it's well worth to pay this shop a visit. The rows of colourful patchwork fabrics are mesmerizing. There is so much to choose from: threads, fabrics, kitsets, patterns, etc., etc. I could have spent hours just browsing. There are also some nice souvenirs to be found, fabrics with New Zealand patterns and a wide variety of embroidery kits. Opening hours: Mon-Fri 9:30am-5:30pm Sat 10:00am-4:00pm Sun 1:00pm-4:00pm
