Salvation Army Family Store Ti Rakau Drive: a Burswood favourite for cheap homewares

Sitting on Ti Rakau Drive in Burswood, between Pakuranga and Botany, this Family Store is part of the Salvation Army's Auckland-wide network of secondhand shops, taking donated clothing, furniture, homewares and more from the surrounding community.

As with all Family Stores, sales here go toward funding the Salvation Army's broader social work, from family support to addiction recovery services delivered across the region.

This branch stands out online, with a 4.2-star rating and a full house of positive recommendations on Facebook from its handful of reviewers. Shoppers describe a well-organised, easy-to-navigate space with lovely, clean displays, and call it a great spot for cheap dishes, sofas, t-shirts and CDs. One reviewer also noted the staff were helpful and friendly when asked about furniture delivery.

Our listing doesn't have published hours for this branch, so it's worth a quick call ahead of a visit. It's an easy stop to combine with the wider Pakuranga and Botany shopping strips nearby.
