Quoil
About
Found on North Island, Quoil sits at B-Jetty in Lyttelton, a harbour town on the South Island's east coast. The business operates as a jewellery shop, with pieces on offer in a setting that draws on the surrounding coastal landscape.
Reaching Lyttelton from Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier or New Plymouth involves a journey south, and the shop's position on the harbour edge makes it a natural stop for anyone travelling that route. The shop opens Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 to 16:30 and Saturday from 11:00 to 15:00, so weekday visits allow the most time. With 28 reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5, the shop has built a following among those who have made the trip. More information is available at https://blackcat.co.nz/quail-island-adventures/.
Quoil is known for its jewellery, and the pieces reflect the coastal and island influences of the surrounding area.
Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast, so a trip to Lyttelton can double as wildlife watching. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across New Zealand, easy to pick up after a morning in town.
