About

Abstract Designs in North Island occupies 125 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand, on the capital's best-known creative strip. It is a gift shop, and the range it carries is what brings people through the door. The shop is known for its selection of gifts, and the website at http://www.abstractdesign.co.nz/ lists what is on offer. First-time visitors should expect a compact space with plenty to browse, so allow time to look properly. Visitors rate Abstract Designs 4.7 out of 5 across 54 reviews. Opening hours run Mo-Fr 09:30-05:30, Sa 10:00-17:00 and Su 11:00-16:00, so weekend visits work well. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands. Māori culture is central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840. Wellington itself sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common. A browse here fits easily into a day in Te Aro.
