Cheers, the jaNdalZ arrived safely and just in time for my bro's visit!! Rebecca G. - UK |
Kia ora Goina,
Hurrah, the two pikau arrived today! So, it was simply slow post service (they don't appear to have been opened by customs or anything). And they are gorgeous. Even better than the photos on the website. Terrific. Thanks for being so helpful over their delivery etc. ka kite, Michelle T.

Just to confirm I received the carving and it is absolutely fantastic. Much appreciated for your great service. Thanks. Janine O. - UK ~ matau bone carving |
Hello, I just wanted to thank you for the peanut slab. It was delicious, I had to break it up into 7 pieces though, my wife and 5 kids. But, I have found a place online to order more. So everyone will have some of those great candies. Eric B. - USA ~ June special & draw ~ Whittaker's website |
Kia ora Goina This is David Arias, from Spain (the other side of the world). The faces arrived OK and I just wanna say you thank you for your excellent service and attention; this is a very special present for us because my wife and me will be parents in September and we will become “mother and father of our creation”. We were in your country last year because we got married and this was our honeymoon, so, all your culture and traditions are very important for us and we liked ALL of you. Thank you thank you thank you … David A. P. - Spain |
Hi Goina, Jandalz arrived safe and well - thanks very much again! I haven't managed to prise them off his feet yet so they must have been a hit. Actually thinking of sending a pair over to his brother who's living in Fiji at the moment, sure he'd appreciate some as well. Emma C. - UK |
| Kia Ora! The booklet arrived safely, thank you. Barbara F. - NZ ~ instant Maori |
That's awesome! Thank you!! You don't know how long it took me to find cufflinks like that!! You guys were the only ones :) Have a lovely day. AJ B. - New Zealand ~ silver fern cufflinks |

Kia ora, Goina! I was so happy to get my precious little package in the mail! I could not resist sending you these photos. My husband, Larry, was so intrigued by the two glass pieces I purchased, we sat down together and looked through the Aotearoa site together. He wants to visit New Zealand now. We have several pieces from the gallery and love them all. It all started when I found the silver money clip on your site about 4 years ago, then I bought one of the metal fish sculptures, you were so kind to send me the shell necklace, which I love, and we now have the kina and my glass drops. I have big plans for the second glass drop, it’s in the works! Thanks so much for the prompt shipping!! Kelly D. - USA ~ returning client for many times :-) |
Kia ora Goina AND (about the Split Enz concert) Oh my god... How good was it! Opened with Shark Attack, had the spoon song, time for a change, take a walk and 2 encores later finshed with History Never repeats! It rocked and Tim got away with his dancing as only he could! The boys were at their best, Neil was great on lead and not having to worry about the whole band... had an awesome time. Talk to you soon. Adam website Tim and Neil Finn |
Just so you know I searched about 7 different web sites and determined your Matau Pounamu looked like the best quality and artistry. Again thanks for taking the time to select a special piece for me as I hope the spirit of my friend will live on in the piece he would have wanted it that way. PS Go All Blacks .....My friend was a big fan. Regards, Nick B. - USA ~ greenstone hook |
Thank you very much. I've always wanted one, but never found one that matched my personality. Meaning the shape and design till now. I surf a lot of competitions and see these carvings on display, so when I receive it, it will be worn with the meaning it represents. thank you Eric B. - USA ~ bone carving |
Kia ora Goina,
I just wanted to thank you for your excellent service and wonderful products. They were even better than what they looked like on the web site. My sister bought them with her on her recent trip to Mexico and we gave the gifts to my staff (we have a restaurant, bar and hotel on the Caribbean coast of Mexico) to teach them a little about our culture and they loved it.

Just a quick note to tell you that I received my 2 pairs of Jandalz. They are awesome!! Thank you for working so hard to get them to me.
and Kia ora... my son and his girl went nuts for your Jandalz!! They immediately changed their shoes for the Jandalz as soon as I gave them to them!! Now, I will have to order myself a pair!! Take care. Sincerely, Lucille S. - USA |
Thank you very much. I look forward in receiving this magnificent art work. I've been wanting this for a long time. And I'm very excited to wear it. Mahalo again. Greg C. - USA ~ greenstone carvings |
Kia Ora Goina, Thank you very much for the package I received recently. It arrived intact and on time. Great service! It is going to be a very nice birthday present for my wife. For now, she will have to enjoy Maori art at home in Chicago. The next step, it would be a visit to Aotearoa, to have her marvel your beautiful country, as well. Thanks again. Best Regards, Robert S. - USA ~ shell collar and shell pendant by Beez ~ greenstone carvings |
I absolutely love your products! Thank you for your help and great web site. I really miss Devonport and being close to the water. Thanks again, Diana. K. - USA |
Thanks for the newsletter, I couldn’t resist taking a peek and ordered two glass pendants. I absolutely loved the kina I got last month, and the order arrived so quickly!! The kina is beautiful, quite the work of art and is in my living room next to my goldfish bowl so people can admire it. Thanks again, for bringing such lovely art to me over here in the U.S. Kelly D. - USA |
Book arrived today - fantastic service! Have only had a quick flick at this stage but love the tips on dealing with the mongrel mob! Thanks again. Keri B. - New Zealand ~ instant Maori booklet |
Hello Goina... Wow! That's perfect. Just like the one Tom wore for years. Thank you for the photo! I'll let you know when I get it. Sincerely, Arden H. - USA ~ commissioned bone carving |

Kia ora Goina, Just wanted to let you know the carvings arrived safely. Thank you! They actually arrived a couple of weeks ago but I've been on holiday so couldn't thank you. Cheers! Julian - Japan |
Dear Goina, We used the new putatara first time today with our students and they just love it! It's suprisingly easy to play and the voice is wonderful. Many thanks! Kind regards, Henna L. - Finland |
Hi Goina, let me start by saying how much we appreciate what you have done so far it’s great. The format that you sent us looks great! Jody & Robin - Australia bride and groom to be Weddingcard by Aotearoa.co.nz - low res pdf |
