Ballantyne J & Co Ltd

A high quality and more expensive department store which sells clothes and homeware items, perfume & makeup, lingerie etc. A beautiful shop with professional staff. Look out for their yearly sale to grab some bargains. On site free parking is a bonus.

We went in and bought a lovely chandelier in there, the lady was pretty rude and told us that we needed to look after it as it was a lovely piece, that it would be a shame if we broke it - It's a shame as there are some lovely staff in there but some make you feel unwelcome and look down at you - just because you maybe younger or not dress well etc.

Much smaller than the Christchurch store but still a large range of great quality homeware, giftware and clothing. Conveniently located on the main shopping street. The shop is well layed out and it is easy to find what you are looking for. Never had a problem with the service.

Has heaps of stock also has a cafe. It has 2 storeys which makes room for more stock. Staff is also helpful and know what they are talking about

Great store for cooking supplies.
