The Heights' Bargain Boutique

Hillsborough Heights' bargain boutique resident founders

On Wednesday 12 March, the residents at Hillsborough Heights Village in Auckland celebrated the grand opening of the Heights Bargain Boutique – but don’t call it an op-shop!

This charming new village addition is a completely resident-driven initiative, brought to life by the dedicated members of the Heights Kaitiaki Group (HHV Enviro Group).

More than just a place to find quality clothing, jewellery, and bric-a-brac, the Heights Bargain Boutique is designed to be a hub of social connection. Visitors are warmly welcomed with a cup of tea or coffee, a comfy chair and, most importantly, a friendly chat.

All goods are donated, and whether you’re looking for a treasure or simply some good company, this boutique is all about bringing people together.

Congratulations to the incredible team of residents behind this venture, pictured: Trish Hillyard, Hania Riini, Cath Gunning, Sally Hancock and Noelle Henderson.
