Blockhouse Bay Road runs through the heart of this West Auckland suburb, and the Mercy Hospice shop is one of its more distinctive stops — reviewers specifically call out the well-decorated shop windows as a highlight, which isn't the usual thing people mention about an op shop.
Inside, the mix runs to costume jewellery, photography props and home decor alongside the usual clothing and accessories, giving it a slightly more curated feel than some charity shops. Ratings sit high, around 4.8 to 5 out of 5, with staff frequently praised as courteous and friendly.
The main criticism is price — some regulars feel it runs a bit higher than other op shops for similar items. The shop's half-price sale days are the workaround most reviewers point to, offering better value for anyone happy to time their visit around them.
It's open seven days, 10am to 4pm, with all proceeds going toward Mercy Hospice's palliative care work across Auckland.
