Reviews of Spotlight Albany

N. L. R.

Love Spotlight. They have all craft-, sewing- and bedding needs located under one roof. Their staff is amazing and always super helpful!

A. A.

This is quite a huge place. The first time I went here was to have an item replaced and I was entertained with the usual courtesy and thorough explanation of what I needed to do. The arts and crafts section is really good - I can stay here for hours and leave the place with a lot of items with me! Definitely a go-to place when you are feeling crafty.

P. C. A. J.

A complete makeover and is now a great place to find decent quality art and craft materials. Helpful and kind staff too, a nice place.

C. W.

Manager and wife were excellent. For was delicious. Good value and atmosphere

G. D.

Good place to go if you're not a specialist in any craft. A superficial stab at covering most crafts and soft furnishings, but not for those with specialized or particular requirements. You could have a lot of fun with what you can get, however.

Standard spotlight store, packed with products at good prices.

Z. N.

I have visited Spotlight Albany many times and have always found the staff friendly and helpful. They have a great selection of fabrics and materials for any dress mask or clothes designer definitely a lovely place with everything you need for arts and crafts.

S. R.

Great place to shop. They have big range of crafting, fabrics, kitchen and bedroom items

Very helpful and friendly floor staff and quick check out.

K. S.

Have had many opportunities to pick the brains of the staff members here for good advice and help with my sewing projects. Very good.

Awesome ,great parking ,great store fabulous service 😀

N. Z.

I've been to a few craft stores lately, this unit of Spotlight was my first great experience. The staff that was actually keen to help! They went above and beyond to support me to find the right materials. They were also very kind to me as I'm still new in the embroidery world. It made all the difference! The inventory is very diverse and very good, the prices too. Highly recommend :)

F. A. J.

I loved the comic prints. I bought bluey and pjmasks prints too

R. H.

Huge selection of craft supplies at reasonable prices.

D. W. (.

Came here looking for some clothing dye, found it difficult to find, passed at least 4 staff members as I was walking up and down the isles, none offered any assistance. Eventually found what I was looking for, once I got to check out staff greeted me, scanned item and was pleasantly surprised to find it cheaper than listed on the shelf.

D. T.

Sadly, spotlight is now a place where you don't buy anything unless it's on special. They have a good range, but you'll pay a lot more at spotlight than you will if you can find the product somewhere else. It's also very difficult to figure out the price on many items because they don't have prices labels and they may or may not be on special.

Everything you need for the home project. I browse when the store is not busy. Today I enjoyed some friendly banter with the main checkout staff near the exit - left with a smile on my face and materials for a small project.

You can get bedding, sewing machines, quilting equipment and fabric plus curtains here.

Limited stock. The one is Wairau /Glenfield is much better.

V. B.

It's probably the only retail store I regularly visit where I actually would like the staff to offer their help. Check out people are always nice but rest of floor staff could totally do more.

T. D.

Heaps of stock with excellent specials at present. Plenty of parking and helpful staff.

Had a awesome lady helping me.. usually no one offers to help

Has good products at good prices.

A. H.

To the strange long necked creature who served me: You were very pretty, but your grey jelly skin made me nervous and the coagulated substance oozing from your lamprey mouth was a little bit disconcerting. Thank you for your service, however. It was quite excellent.

S. B.

Lovely service but material was nothing spectacular. Not a whole lot of range of accessories that I needed. Maybe they are getting in more stock with change of seasons, who knows.

D. Q.

Enjoyed shopping there. Good selection of stock & helpful staff. Good specials but normally priced goods a bit on the expensive side.

Great shop lots of goodies inside

D. C.

Some things in the knitting dept needed filling. Lots of empty spaces. Got what we needed though and staff were delightful. Pleasant place to shop.

L. T.

Some of the things we wanted to purchase were not available, namely chocolate moulds etc but did pick up a lovely cushion at a reasonable price. Service was fine and it wasn't too busy inside. However hard to find parking.

Loads of sales got what I needed very cheap

Well stocked, helpful staff.

Already profiled this establishment. It's a giant Man Cave for ladies.

D. R.

Great service. The lady who assisted me was friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoy popping in for bits and bobs. 10/10.

Had an issue buying something in store that was only available on the website. The staff helped us get it and do a click and collect within 10 min of ordering it online.

h. b.

Always love visiting Spotlight. So much I would love to buy. Bedding, Curtains, craft supplies, fabric for dress making, and curtain making etc. Great shop.

Had a good shopping experience and got products I'm happy with

J. K.

Good collection of everything required for crafts and sewing materials. Ranges of stuff available. My favourite place to hangout and browse for hours

L. M.

Lots of sales prices.. Which is good.. Also find some items over priced.. For e.g covered velvet coat hangers for 2 $7.00 at bunnings same coat hangers but 5 in bundle $3.95....

H. D.

I love this place. Everything you could want from homeware, mats, bedding, sewing material, amazing craft products if that's your passion. Had looked everywhere for a nice wall clock. Surprised to find the perfect one at Spotlight.

It's a very well positioned business in the Albany Shopping Center with lots of parking for their clients. They have recently revamped the inside of the shop and it looks so much bigger and presents a well lit shop for a great shopping experience. Huge variety of merchandise being sold that covers anything from materials, bedding, curtains to kids party toys and knitting items to a very good cooking section. Very friendly and helpful staff makes the shopping experience so good and they will go the extra mile to assist you in finding something you are looking for. They often have interesting specials and go with the different seasons such as Easter, Valentine's day and Christmas. Will keep on shopping here.

Good but assistant a bit uncertain about measurements

A. C.

The display in this store makes it easy to browse and find what you like! Also, Shannon, the staff working here, is observant and sensitive to our needs. She noticed we are buying fabric and asked if we were making a curtain. Spot on! I was surprised and said yes, and needed help. She went out by a mile to show us all the things we need to put our DIY project together. Thanks for making our day so smooth Shannon! The world needs more cool people like you

C. G.

Absolutely fabulous staff, I had two different staff help me and they were both so lovely and friendly, answering my questions and making sure I understand everything that I was unsure about. It was so happy I skipped out of the store :)

Good selection of art and crafts

Got a bargin $5 plastic Container for moving.

Very busy provided what I was shopping for.

G. A.

So much variety...heaps of stock,fabric,bedding,arts and crafts...great prices...

D. P.

Love this place! One of the best spotlights around! Always satisfies with good selection everything u need for your crafty projects!! Just need more staff at the cutting tables please :)

C. O.

Thank you to all the staff members for their kind attitude and hard work over the Covid 19 period. Some lovely people there, young lady at the checkout who just started and was only working there for a week was so patient and answered all my questions. Thank you :)

R. L.

Best place to go to for your party decorating goodies - kids and adults alike! Awesome place to buy the perfect fabric, to sew that special dress, curtains or maybe outdoor furniture cushions - all at fabulous prices. Keep up the great work guys!

Nice and tidy full room of stock

N. R.

Couldn't be happier with customer service.. a staff member helped me all the way.. very kind and attentive Lots of variety to choose from Bit pricey, but Auckland in general is expensive Recommend to anyone

T. H.

Loads of parking and some real good bargains to be had, especially when they have "Manager Specials". Staff always friendly. The only let down is PLEASE GET YOUR CUSTOMER TOLIET SORTED !". It has been out of order for 4 weeks+ because "the key has been misplaced ". I visited store today and facilities are still "out of order", I promptly left, without purchasing anything to find another facility I could use. Yes, I did go before I left home but drove over 45mins to go shopping in Spotlight Albany (because of the many bargains to be had), where I normally spend another hour plus browsing and buying. Regards "Woolworths bladder! ".

D. C.

Very friendly staff with loads of support from staff members walking the floor ready to help customers which personally is awesome to see loads of variety and value for money

R. A.

Nice large spotlight store with complete product range available. Staff are helpful and patient. The location is very handy. Parking can be difficult to find on weekends and busy days. Some or the other deals are always on. Well recommended.

I feel like there is everything here to do with fabric and sewing. There’s curtain things, wool, and fabric. There’s even a area for things like sequins, glitter and coloured paper etc. Its really useful having everything like this in one place. When we come, we usually can buy everything we need. For example, when we want to make our own curtains. They have everything here. Curtain fabric, staff that can measure the curtain fabric, the poles, the ring things. There’s everything!!!

T. R.

Great fabric choices

J. B.

So nice and huge variety of room decor. Personally I could've spent $100 for so many items at one trip. Love!

A. C.

Not exactly a blokes shop, but my buying experience was very good. Staff obliging, especially Alana. Massive amount of fabrics. Parking outside area very good.

J. P.

Love this shop. Possibly cud do better as far as staff help goes. They all seem to always be busy and don't exactly go out of thier way to help clients find what they need etc. Got so many awesome product's though and overall a great shop to go to because it serves so many needs from crafts, homewares, curtains, bedding to toys and costumes...

Great Place to shop, always quality products at great prices,friendly knowledgeable staff and parking at the door

N. C.

Good selection of supplies. But the service from those ladies in store is terrible, lack of enthusiasm and have no willingness to help, would just do the bare minimum (it's my experience anyway). I will go to wairau instead, the services seems much better there.

Great efficient fast service... and products are always top notch!

They always have good promtions

Y. M.

Great customer service, and great range of products, however you pay to have all the range in one place. The costs are extremely high. Definitely shop around and support small local businesses.

Friendly staff. Found what I was looking for and more.

S. D. C.

Like looking around don't always have what you want but nice store

K. N.

The new look is great. Shelf height has been lowered and most aisles are now in straight lines. Far less "jams" than the previous rectangles.

C. R.

Holly was amazingly helpful to us. We are out of town clients and over the phone she sourced what we were wanting, put the order together and couriered it to us. Her product knowledge and attitude was excellent. Thank you Holly for helping us out. You are an asset to Spotlight.

s. r.

Always excellent service here, the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The prices are outstanding! I really love this shop it's been my goto ever since it opened

S. B.

Fantastic shop. Please go online and see what they have in stock, to many to mention all. I promise you, make sure you have enough time to browse because once there it is difficult to leave.

C. C.

It can be quite pricey for some fabrics but they are good quality, and they have a reasonably wide range. Staff are usually very friendly and helpful.

M. S.

Good selection of fabrics. Helpful friendly staff. Parking easy and handy for other shops too. More crochet books would be good.

Great service.

Lots of team on. But lack of people willing to assist. Too caught up in their own work to reach out

G. M.

Fantastic selection, all sort of special things to be found, many things you wouldn't expect to find in spotlight. Great service!

Last time the staff were unhelpful, today everyone was so friendly.

L. B.

Very helpful staff

C. M.

Fairly large haberdashery/fabric store, prices seemed reasonable, bought two cushion inners very well priced. Lots of parking outside store.

M. C.

Great place to shop, has everything you need for your sewing.

L. G.

Awesome place ,got some helium balloons filled . No trouble great service and very good price.

K. H.

The shelves are always well stocked and they have friendly staff

Good range but didn't have exactly what we wanted. Thanks all the same to the helpful staff.

Lots of things to choose from. Good range of cotton materials. Less of wool

*Great House hold stuff. Good customer service.

This shop is large has most things for knitting, buttons, fabrics & lots more, if that's what you are into.

Y. “. K.

A very nice collection of textile, tailoring needs, curtains and other accessories. A very nice place to visit and grap few things that you might be in need of. Friendly staff.

k. a.

Good store. Lots of variety

S. M.

Hugh variety to get lost in, especially when you are a crafter.

C. W.

Well stocked - not too busy - friendly staff

Lovely staff friendly assistance

Disappointing. I went looking for knitting yarns and found many empty shelves and sign saying they'd sold more than usual during lockdown; no indication of further stock to come, even though there are plenty of NZ producers.

H. T.

Had everything I needed and the staff were happy to help.

Busy but excellent source for fabric

Albany Spotlight is the best shop to buy , very friendly to customers. I prefer to visit this place when I need something.

L. m.

Very well stocked, usually able to get what I'm looking for. Has a good range of prices.

T. R.

Brilliant service today by the lovely lady Wendy. Who was extremely helpful and cheerful :-)

Spotlight is a franchise so they are all the same ... but if you like crafts or sewing there are fewer and fewer places now to get suitable items.

M. C.

I love this store. So many bargains and everything you need in one place.

Plenty of nearby car parking available. Easy to spot retailer with large attractive (welcoming, colourful) frontage. A cordial, polite welcomer. The extensive range of material, fabric and craft essentials for serious and lightweight DIYers at very reasonable prices (well, mostly so). Plenty of gifts, trinkets and bric-a-brac to peruse and choose from too. A good number of team members to ensure brief waiting times for service and or help. Professional, polite and helpful team members abound.
