Closed for Winter

The Lost Gypsy is taking a breather during the cooler months – a time to recharge, tinker, and craft new curiosities behind the scenes.

It’s our chance to create, explore new ideas, and get things ready for when the warmer seasons return.

We look forward to opening the doors again in late October, with new creations and surprises to share.

Bringing little explorers?

Our creations are handmade and delicate, so we ask that all children be closely supervised. A gentle reminder to help them look with their eyes and treat our tinkered treasures with care.

Planning a school group visit?

Get in touch with us ahead of time – we’d love to help make it a special and engaging experience.

The Journey & the Stop

Find Us

The Lost Gypsy lives in Papatowai, nestled along the wild Catlins coast between Invercargill and Dunedin. Follow the twists of the Southern Scenic Route and keep your eyes peeled – when you spot a green housebus and a yellow van, you’ve found the right kind of strange. Curiosity doesn’t just visit here – it stays a while.
