Experiences

JointWorks Studio specialises in handweaving and furniture. It is difficult to leave the premises with the tactile nature of the displayed goods. Handwoven scarves, wraps and wall handing tempt visitors to try them on and wrap themselves in glowing colours.

JointWorks Studio is a place where you want to spend time wondering if the decorative box or small coffee table can be shipped home. Just ask and it is definitely possible.

Hop Federation Brewery

Offer in store tastings including seasonal specials.  There is a sense of community and it is fascinating hearing the story of two relocated Auckland families who have created a microbrewery in the heart of hop growing territory. The brewery is open every day from 11.00am to late. Tastings are complimentary.

NOTE: The balance of the day is free to take a walk to the Riwaka Resurgence to watch the river emerge from the underground springs or window shop in Motueka among the busy holiday crowds or perhaps simply chill out on the Old Wharf Road and wonder about the fate of ships and people who run aground.
