Was born when Amy Moore, after winning The Block NZ (Season 7), reimagined an old plumbing workshop into a vibrant retail and café destination. Conveniently located close to Aberdeen Botanical Villa and Ascot Flats, it’s an easy stop for guests staying nearby.
What began as a studio has grown into a thoughtfully curated space where every item tells a story. From striking Moroccan rugs and woven lampshades to vintage furniture, ceramics, and locally made homewares, The WorkShop blends global design influences with strong Tairāwhiti character. Many pieces are ethically sourced from skilled artisans, supporting fair trade practices and meaningful craftsmanship.
The café within the space invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Enjoy a quality coffee in Gisborne, browse shelves of carefully selected design finds, and soak up the relaxed, creative atmosphere that has made The WorkShop a recognised destination in Gisborne’s design and café scene. It’s especially popular with visitors staying at Aberdeen Botanical Villa, Ascot Flats, and other nearby Gisborne accommodation.
