Proudly South African, Retail

The SAFFA Shack

Shopping & retail

Justin & Vanessa Smit hail from Pietermaritzburg in South Africa and moved to Dannevirke, New Zealand in 2017.

After a year of teaching, Justin felt the need to fulfil a gap in the market for those that may be missing a few essentials and “homegrown” treats, so decided to move to Hawke’s Bay and open The Saffa Shack in Havelock North with a second branch in Napier not long afterwards.

After 3 years of growing, learning and adapting to the market, it made sense to amalgamate the two shops into one. A bigger and better version that boasts a small café style seating area to cater for delicious on-the-go foods and beverages to suit all!

The Highway Heritage Stop: Home to The Saffa Shack (South African), Churchill’s Larder (UK), Kennedy’s Candy Store (USA), Secrets of Holland (Dutch) and Kiwiana products too!
