MOXINI HOME Just a stone’s throw from Nelson, with its great cafés and beaches, this is a local ‘go-to’ store for unique and gorgeous home accessories. Moxini has everything from cushions, mirrors, art, lamps, throws, furniture, ceramics, and interesting one-off pieces – sourced from New Zealand and around the world. Friendly owners Wayne and Rachel Boote affectionately named the store after their cat Mochaccino or Mox for short.
