“I frequent op shops in Hastings, and the prices at this one are a little out of line. However, the business owner appeared to be kind, and the store was very neatly managed. The price of an op shop is what gives this a bad grade.”
“Lovely little secondhand boutique with a well-marked assortment of clothing.”

“The shop looks amazing; after a few more visits, I will be able to locate everything in the revised layout. Very tidy, and as always, it seems fantastic. I appreciate your employees; they add a lot of enjoyment to shopping at Cranford. Every time I go treasure hunting I feel grateful.”
“Friendly staff, excellent selection of goods, perhaps a touch pricy than most Op shops, but look at the amazing things they do for Hawkes Bay’s terminally sick residents. Visit them; you won’t come away disappointed.”
