Local Secrets: Raumati's Favourite Shopping Spots
The delightful Raumati Village is a boutique shopper's delight - right near the beach!
Holy Smoke
10a Margaret Rd, Raumati Beach
Holy Smoke is looking out for the men of the world. The independent store stocks a variety of clothing and accessories for men, with an emphasis on classic styles and clothes that last, as opposed to fast fashion and cheap fabrics.
The button-down shirts, hats, t-shirts, pants and shorts come in neutral tones or jazzy prints and graphic detailing. The unique shirts from Scotch & Soda are a crowd favourite. At Holy Smoke you can also pick up toiletries and soaps from great brands such as Lambert’s Luscious.

Stunning pieces from Loobie's Story, effortless staples from Verge and Standard Issue, bold prints of femininity from Curate and beautiful bags from Saben.
