Niutahi's main store, marked with Coke signs, selling basic groceries, propane and hardware odds and ends.

Practical

Position is the OpenStreetMap building tagged 'Pahai' (shop), about 100 m south of the quay. From the quay take the paved main road and turn right; the store is on the left with Coke signage (Sugar Shack 2019); in 2010 it was one block south from the W end of the quay. Hours reported Mon-Fri 8:30-11:30 am and 4:30-6:30 pm (2019; verify locally). Sells propane (bottle exchange), oil, spark plugs, WD-40; a small hardware store is attached. Fresh produce only around supply-ship days (weekly Cobia); in 2010 the only vegetables were onions and garlic and there were no baguettes. Also sells pearl jewellery.
