Tōtara Hospice Shop Pakuranga: spacious and well-run on Reeves Road

The Tōtara Hospice shop on Reeves Road in Pakuranga Heights is a bigger-format store than many suburban op shops, and reviewers consistently mention that: a large, clean layout with wheelchair access and goods that are generally described as good quality.

Feedback on the staff is warm — volunteers are described as lovely and helpful, and shoppers appreciate the sense of directly supporting a local cause while they browse. The shop is run under Tōtara Hospice, which delivers specialist palliative care to South and South East Auckland.

The main criticism that comes up is pricing: a few reviewers feel some secondhand items are priced relatively high compared to buying new nearby, though this seems to be a minority view rather than a consistent complaint, and it's balanced against praise for the range and condition of stock.

It's a straightforward, no-nonsense option if you're in Pakuranga and after clothing or household goods, with the added appeal of knowing the money goes toward hospice care rather than a shareholder return.
