RYDGEE and the Remarkable Sweets

Our littlest employee RYDGEE the morepork has been working with the Remarkable Sweet Shop to produce these little treats for some VIP guests coming in on Thursday!


I often find that all the best lollies from ‘back in the day’ such as Aniseed Wheels and Milk Bottles are getting harder and harder to find. Well not when you are in our neck of the woods! The Remarkable Sweet Shop stocks all the kiwi classics as well as an extensive selection of sweets from all over the world – including Livewires and Bon Bons


The pioneering Remarkable Sweet Shop can be found in the quaint village of Arrowtown, nestled among the majestic Southern Alps (including The Remarkables) and steeped in rich New Zealand history. The beautiful setting and scenery is the perfect backdrop for the old time charm of the sweet shop.

Their store in picturesque Queenstown is also well worth a look, not least because they do free tasting of their world-famous fudge (all of which is made onsite). But beware, this amazing fudge is also very, very addictive so you may end up buying more than you meant to!

If you are a Dutch, Australian, UK or US ex-pat you can indulge your sweet tooth with the taste of home, thanks to specialised imports just for you! You can also order online if you can’t quite make it to the quaint store yourself. There is even a great range of options for those who require sugar-free.

The Remarkable Sweet Store is always sniffing out the world’s favourite lollies to stock. If you’re a fan of brands like Haribo, Tilley’s, Maxons and Millions then this is a must-stop shop. It’s also the perfect place for small gifts, especially if you want to take treats home to your friends and family.
