76 Stunning! Absolutely stunning!
Super fast delivery to the Gold coast via courier.
The Leo table looks incredible in person and is a great size.
Show stopping piece really makes a statement
This is such a beautiful store if you need to look for gifts or items for your house. Everything in this store is so unique and beautiful that you cannot only visit once. The owner is also super helpful and great to talk to. He helped me decide on a a candle because I liked more than one. Definitely visiting this place again.
The most delightful shopkeepers helped me so much. I was last minute shopping for a secret Santa gift for a Xmas work party I was already due at…! They both sprang to action to help me, I got the PERFECT gift and even had a VIP wrapping service to boot. Absolutely perfect gift shop for all people!
Troy and the team went above and beyond to deliver my parcel in time for Christmas. Fantastic customer service
We were visiting from Adelaide and came across this shop. We came back three times in total! My partner and I were blown away by the products in this shop, especially the fragrance range as Adelaide has nothing like this! We ended up buying three fragrances in total plus a room spray and don’t regret a thing! The staff were amazing and super helpful, especially Anh and the owner. We would love to come back when we visit next time. If you’re in Melbourne, definitely check out this store. Such a wide range of unique products, fragrances and homewares! We will be back, lots of love and thank you for all your help - Katie & Harry
One of those stores that catches your eye as you walk past and you usually end up walking out with something. The assistants are always pleasant, and the dog treats are flowing for the pups that come in
Thanks to Anh for a great experience
The customer service from Connection has far exceeded my expectations from a retailer. I live out of state in WA and mistakenly chose "instore pick up" on my order. I got a phone call within minutes to rectify ny mistake and then enjoyed a chat about the fragrance brands they recently started stocking that never felt like a sales push. My order was dispatched promptly with some generous samples included. Finally, the day after my order arrived I received a lovely personalized follow-up text from Anh asking if I was pleased with my purchase and the service I received. I felt really valued as a customer and will not hesitate to buy from Connection again. Absolute 5 star experience
If you’re looking for a gift for someone, this is a great place to start. They helped me choose so quickly and gave me many combinations to pick from. Got some nice candles from here! Thanks for your help.
Beautiful lil boutique shop on chapel street. A must on your bucket list! Wayne was so helpful with helping us pick all our items we purchased:) Thankyou!
This is a fantastic shop, great things for gifts or for home.i love the lighting and i love things for my home bar.the guy working in the store today is helpful, he offered me lots of ideas without being pushy and kept the experience fun & chill.i will come back - for sure
The gentleman working today is such an asset to this store. He looked after every customer and made their experience personable. He is so attentive to everyone. Being a manager in retail I understand how hard it is to find people like him. We always have a lovely chat about our pets too. He’s amazing.
As an autistic woman, I find shopping a hard task. Christmas shopping? A fiery hell.
Connection Homewares has beautiful products and is my go-to store for gift giving.
Today, I entered the store, in autistic anxiety and had a conversation with Wayne. I explained to to him my anxiety. He was generous, helpful, and authentic; understanding my constraints.
In 15 minutes I was in and out. Paying less than I expected and with more comfort than I thought possible.
Thank you.
Friendly staff. A lot of quirky out of the normal items. If you can’t find something to like here, then you are hard to please!
Wonderful staff - Wayne and Troy were very helpful. Incredible products to spruce up the home or gift to a friend and make their day!
Thank you Wayne for helping me at your beautiful store yesterday. You have an incredible eye for colour and texture. I appreciate you letting me move things around and take things out of boxes so that I could see it before I purchased. You didn’t rush me and you were very friendly and polite- an absolute pleasure to deal with you and I will be back in your store for moire items very soon! Thank you again
Be warned, this place is dodgy.
I paid full price for an expensive drinks trolley. When I got it home in the box, it was badly damaged, I sent photos and asked for a refund the manager Troy said no. I said legally I’m allowed I bought it an hour ago and I have the receipt. He said no, I’ll only replace it with floor stock.
The floor stock was already damaged, so I said no. Again I asked for a refund, he said no take me to the ombudsman, I’m not refunding you. Even suggested me asking multiple times for the same thing was me going about it all wrong.
I’ll never shop here again, I’ll tell everyone and I will be going to the ombudsman.
Worst customer service ever!
Fantastic service from Wayne and Georgia this morning in assisting me to choose a gift. Both Wayne and Georgia attended to my queries in a helpful and timely manner, and offered wonderful advice on a particular item of interest. Thank you again for your kindness and assistance today!

Such a gorgeous shop! Walked in to look for something small and came out with quite a few more things. Beautiful planters and artwork. Extremely lovely and helpful staff - thanks Georgia for all your help.
