Beach Hut

While Beach Hut at Takapuna specializes in swimwear/​beachwear, the main reason I go there is because they are one of the only stockists of the Australian fitness and activewear brand: Lorna Jane in New Zealand. I had just been buying all my gear off their site online but when I found out that they actually had a physical store in Taka, I raced down there to get my hands on this finely constructed work out gear.
They have a good variety of this range available in store and there always seems to be some dealio or sale going on at the Hut!
The shop is family owned and has an awesome vibe going on. I always feel good when I purchase things from these guys as I know I am supporting the local Takapuna community in turn. Warm n fuzzies!

I HATE buying bikinis. I can’t buy a matching pair because I’m different sizes top and bottom. I refuse to spend huge amounts of money because they’re tiny bits of fabric that are to be destroyed by salt and chlorine. I’ve managed to find a few decent bikinis at Beach Hut. At first I thought it was only going to have ‘old lady’ swimwear but was surprised to see one or two bikinis I quite liked. The sales assistant was incredibly helpful in finding different styles and sizes to best fit my body and when I went to the counter with my two purchases I received a HUGE discount as part of some crazy sale. All in all… great experience at the Beach Hut!
