JERVOIS ROAD – HERNE BAY VILLAGE New to this corner of Jervois is DAVID SHIELDS HAIR DESIGN, where you can have your hair styled by one of the industry’s most respected players. David is a winner of the New Zealand Association of Registered Hairdressers’ most prestigious award – The NZARH Award of Merit - given for his service and dedication to the industry. Ponsonby News can highly recommend him. Across Kelmarna Avenue is of course SPEIGHTS ALE HOUSE (formerly known as the Gables). Now venture down a little and cross to the other side of Jervois Road! New and super cute at No 203 is RABBITHOLE CAFE. An Alice in Wonderland theme, Louis Vuitton chairs, a view, a sandpit and organic food - what more can we say! Now you can start to wander back down the road. ERAWAN THAI on the corner of Wallace Street is a well-loved and Ponsonby News favourite Thai restaurant. Across Lawrence Street and a few doors along is HERNE BAY VETERINARY CLINIC and at No 157 you’ll find the new-ish home of BARE PR and PRODUCT PLACEMENT. MERINO KIDS is at No 155, and a little further down at No 139 is JERVOIS DENTAL where Graham Shaw and his team are at the chair, so to speak! Pop over Hamilton Road and along to Curran Street and you’ll find HARROWSET HALL with its exquisite bed linen and interior design accessories, next to KRISTEN FORDHAM’S unique children’s store. Here the designer makes all the stock on the premises, and we were happily surprised to see she stocks a selection of women’s separates, too!
ERAWAN THAI RESTAURANT
SMYTH GALLERIES have a superb collection of vintage posters and are located on the corner of Seymour Street at No 39, just next to designer CRYSTAL SLOANE who in turn neighbours THE LETHAM GALLERY. Back to the block we started from! And a little kids’ heaven to finish, with DOROTHY BUTLER CHILDREN’S BOOKSHOP - home of beautiful books and toys - at No 13, and FUTURE FEET, home of top quality children’s shoes, at No 1. Ponsonby News bets you can’t complete the Jervois jaunt without coming away with PN a new purchase, having something delicious to eat and quenching your thirst, as we did! (JULIE ROULSTON)
