Cottage Crafts
About
On South Island, Cottage Crafts sells handmade crafts and gifts from its base on Main Street in Oxford 7430, New Zealand. The shop has built its name on a carefully chosen range of items for shoppers hunting something made rather than mass-produced. First-time visitors should expect a compact, browse-friendly space where the stock changes and staff know the makers behind it. A 4.6 out of 5 average from 36 reviews places it well among the shops people return to. Oxford sits within easy driving reach of Christchurch, while Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura are all towns on the same island that visitors pass through on longer trips.
New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, and a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.
Opening times are posted on the shop's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/cottagecraftsoxford/.
South Island is the larger of New Zealand's two main islands. The island's diverse landscapes range from mountains to coastlines. Visitors can reach Oxford by car from Christchurch.
