Queenstown is a naturally stunning gem of a town perfectly situated on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Bungee jumping and tourists are two things typically associated with this adventure capital of the world. If authentic New Zealand and a reprise from hordes of selfie stick wielding visitors is what you’re hoping for, pop into Antipodean Trader.
This quaint shop on the fringe of town is conveniently located just a stones throw away from the Skyline Gondola.
In addition to Antipodean Trader, here’s a list of other neat little local spots we love across New Zealand.
Antipodean Trader is hand stocked with finds from across New Zealand and lovingly curated with artisanal pieces the owner, Kim, has gathered from around the world.
Antipodean Trader is the perfect place to search for a unique souvenir, but it’s also just as impressive if you’re looking for a spot of inspiration when it comes to decorating your own home or office.
Check out the lovely way Kim arranged these knobs to look like an adorable pile of sprouting mushrooms…
…and the lovely blooms in these covetable handmade walnut vases.
