No waste and replace but tend and mend! Ōtaki Repair Café.
This is where expert volunteers with repair skills and the right tools come together to fix or help you to make repairs. We darn, mend, replace, glue, sharpen, tune your bike, look at electrical appliances, or anything that is broken or not working as it should. Please remember to bring replacement items like a zip for garments along!
Please register your items - that way our volunteers can bring the right tools and be prepared to fix. Otaki.repaircafe@gmail.com
Fixing Things. Bonding People. Come and see for yourself

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
