Retreat | Beloved Candle & Lifestyle Brand

20+ Years of Success | Prime Retail Location | Ready for New Ownership

After over two decades of success, the owners of Retreat- one of New Zealand's most trusted candle and lifestyle brands - are preparing to retire.

Every day, they still enjoy their morning coffee surrounded by the scent of premium candles, under elegant chandeliers, in a warm and beautifully styled 96 sqm store (which includes a tidy 20 sqm storage space).

Tucked away at the back, the storage area keeps stock ready to restock the shelves for their loyal customer base - including a few well-known faces who've been coming here for years to pick up their favourite scent.

Now, they're ready to pass this well-loved business on to someone new - someone who will appreciate its charm, history, and potential.

So, what makes Retreat shine?
• Beautifully Established Brand: Known for premium candles and curated lifestyle products from New Zealand, Australia, and Europe, RETREAT holds a reputation for quality, strong margins, and timeless appeal.
• Prime Auckland Location + Below-Market Rent: The current owner also owns the premises and is offering generous lease terms to support the next owner.
• Loyal Client Base: Loved by both retail and corporate customers - ideal for events, gifts, hospitality and more.
• Lifestyle-Friendly Operation: Offers great flexibility or room to scale.
• E-Commerce Ready: A fully functional online store is already set up and ready to grow.
• Supportive Handover: The owners are committed to a smooth transition and are happy to help the right buyer settle in confidently.
