Peter's of Kensington

This place is way to confusing for buyers and terrible customer service.

Great shop for your house needs, sections for glassware, appliances, jewellery, candles, luggage and more. They also have a coffee shop to have a bite to eat and a coffee whilst you shop. Shopping can certainly make you tired. They have sandwiches, soup, cakes and scones. I got a chai latte, the powdered one, which I like.

If you need something for the kitchen or dining room, this is the place. Narrow aisles of everything kitchen feel a bit haphazardly arranged so you can spend a lot of time looking for items without staff assistance. Be warned - they're expensive, and it's ridiculously easy to spend a fortune on items you don't really need that all seem like good ideas at the time. Great for gifts!

An institution of Sydney, it has been a haven for many a shopper looking for a bargain for top quality items or for gift registries. I have shopped here plenty of times both in the store and online. I can only give them praise as all my shopping experiences have been pleasant. The staff are helpful and friendly. The online orders are fulfilled on time as promised. Even when one of them items I had bought was faulty, I spoke to them over the phone and the lady was very helpful. I had to visit them again and she advised to take the product and get it exchanged. It was a painless process. I enjoy the quality range of products they offer too.

This is seriously one of my favourite homewares stores. Whenever I make a trip to Sydney, if I'm lucky I try to swing a visit. They do great bridal registry's and have such a large collection of homewares brands of all sorts including my favourite, the Ittala and le Crueset. The online store is also fantastic and they have really competitive prices.
