Stopped in on way to and from Glenn Innes. Cool space, nice layout, really good coffee and interesting range. Bit in the pricey side for some items but there are some bargains if you know what to look for! Looking forward to the next stop in.

Huge place, beautifully curated items, meticulously categorised, whimsical and super hard not to buy pink flamingo serving dishes. Owner is friendly, warm and interesting. Highly recommend!!

Big warehouse with many collectables. A paradise for antiques collectors. Was really surprised to see the electric appliances from 1960’s and still good as new and working condition.
