If you're looking for some top quality candles and quality craftsmanship this is the place to be. At first I was a bit hesitant to buy one of the really big ones (cos hey, let's be honest. Is that whole thing really going to burn at a consistent uniform rate right out to near the edges the whole way down?). But I chatted to the guy for a few minutes and it sounded like he knew his stuff so I gave one a go.

Turns out that yes, they really do. I got one that was 12cm wide and 17cm tall, I could hold it in one hand, but my fiance has little hands so she could only carry it with two.

Couldn't have asked for a better candle, nice fragrance and had a big wick. Not only of those tiny ones that burn down into a disappointing divet before going out. This has got a really nice flame and it burns right out to the very edge.

Will definitely be back here in future because as far as candles go they don't get much better than this.

My only criticism is that it'd be good if he had price tags on all the hand made ones, or at least a poster up on the wall to tell you what they cost. I contemplated giving a 4 on this basis but realistically if I'm judging based on candle quality alone I'd have given it a 6 if I could.

Please don’t tell people you can have something for them, then they come all the way, only for you to say you “can’t do what you can’t do”. So why say yes in the first place?

Local icon selling stacks of beautiful smelling wax for over 25 years. Super close to Newton Station and bonus the courty is just across the way for a beverage after.
Great range of candles at reasonable prices. You can order ahead and pick up in store right now.
Their candle bowls that you place smaller candles inside are great and look amazing when lit. Good for outside when you want to prevent the candles from blowing out.

Love this shop. Great service and advice. Beautiful candles Better than the place in Katoomba which is very mass produced these ones are creative and original and in beautiful colours. I make my own candles so I can give them as gifts Very messy

This place smells like heaven! The owner creates great candles that smell so nice and refreshing, without that fake artificial aroma. I keep buying countless candles from here because once you start buying, you simply can't stop!

Great selection and reasonable prices. You can order online or call ahead and go and pick up without having to go into the store. I usually buy a few of the stick candles and a large round. I love the large round. It really looks amazing burning.

An incredible store for everything identified with candles. They have some that are instant, just as the entirety of the items/devices expected to make your own. Andrew is gigantic assistance; and whether you're a finished beginner or increasingly experienced, he truly causes you to feel welcome.

They produce their exclusive range of handmade candles at their premises in Newtown. It is easy to purchase directly from the showroom.

A great store for all things related to candles. They have some that are ready-made, as well as all of the products/tools needed to make your own.

Andrew is a huge help; and whether you’re a complete amateur or more experienced, he really makes you feel welcome. The only area of improvement I can think of would be their range of scents available in the store (they can be a little limited). But thoroughly recommend
