Howick Village is embracing the New Year.

The welcome sunshine at the weekend and into the beginning of the week lifted moods too after recent storms and heavy rain.

With the return to work this week by many locals, the village is open and looking forward to serving shoppers and diners moving forward into 2023.

The friendly locals love the quaint seaside surrounds of Howick Village.

As well as boutique shops, great dining and coffee, and all of the essentials – there are professional business services and healthcare experts too.

Howick Village offers a refreshing change from malls and large format shopping.

You’ll discover more than 100 specialty owner-operator stores offering personalised friendly service, in a warm village atmosphere.

The ardent shopper will be delighted with the mix of stores, finding fashion, home decor, art and crafts, jewellery, toys, florists, books and much more.

An eclectic array of cafés and restaurants offer fresh New Zealand cuisine with the emphasis on relaxed casual dining.

Whether it’s coffee and freshly-baked muffins or New Zealand sauvignon blanc with seafood, you’ll find it in the village.

A tantalising mix of ethnic cafés including Thai, Indian, Chinese, Turkish, Creole, Korean and Italian gives you a world of dining experience.

Or you can just enjoy your favourite tipple and a wood fired pizza and watch the world go by.

There is a genuine community feel, where real locals linger over a coffee, wine or beer.

The Saturday morning market is a hive of activity and is open every Saturday from 8am-12.30pm where you will find New Zealand-made arts and crafts, and can stock the cupboards or the campervan with fresh produce and artisan foods.

Live and love local at Howick Village

See you soon.
