Dove Hospice Mt Wellington: a big selection, and the click-and-collect hub

The Dove Hospice shop at 28 Lunn Avenue, Mt Wellington, has a reputation for being well organised with a genuinely large selection — shoppers who've compared it to other Auckland op shops note both the size of the range and how consistently pleasant the volunteer staff are to deal with.

It also has a role beyond the shop floor: Mt Wellington is the click-and-collect pickup point for Dove Hospice's online shop, available Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm. If you've bought something through Dove's online store, this is where you'll be collecting it — worth knowing if you're in the area for pickup and want to have a browse in person at the same time.

In store, the shop keeps standard Dove Hospice hours, open every day from 9am to 4:30pm, with the usual mix of donated clothing, homeware, books and furniture. As with every Dove shop, proceeds support the trust's free palliative care and wellness services across Auckland.
