About The Poi Room
Business cards printed and off we drove around Aotearoa, two young kids in the car, to visit as many artists as we could to talk about our idea…. and wow! Everyone was so supportive.
Business plan in place and next to the bank. Financing a business can be nerve-racking time! The next big question, where should we locate our shop? Osbourne Street was still in its infancy, but we saw the potential.
Leases secured. Artists on-board. Fit out complete. Let’s open!
That’s where the journey began…
We opened our doors on 1 November 2007 and what an incredible ride it has been so far. We are now the longest serving business on the street.
Working on the floor on the weekends while still employed elsewhere, the early days were exhausting. As our business grew it became obvious that an offsite role was required. Someone to look after the leases, the accounts, the marketing, the computers. On and on it goes.
We have both found a wonderful balance to our lives while fulfilling our destiny together with family, whanau and friends around us. Hard work has blessed us!

โ โ โ โ โ I don't like going into this shop because every time I go there to pressie shop I also end up buying something for myself.
Gorgeous items and lovely friendly staff unfortunately (!) make you want to linger and browse for ages.
Highly recommended.

โ โ โ โ โ A rare gem. For those of you searching for inspiring local art work at very accessible prices. The Poi room also have the best selection of Maori made art. A gorgeous shop with a lovely hospitable store owner, who when in store elevates the service. Sadly many of the staff fall short of her. But otherwise a lovely experience every time.
