Simply Divine

Barb thrives on the opportunity to add creative flair to her customer's kitchens with a range of unique and aesthetically pleasing cookware, bakeware, and tabletop essentials. Her passion for food and artistry shines through in the curated selection at Simply Divine Kitchen, where home cooks can find everything they need to create delicious meals and beautiful presentations. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting out, Barb's expertise and friendly demeanor will help you find the perfect tools and ingredients to elevate your culinary creations.

Barb’s favourite kitchen appliance is her Bialetti coffee press
“It’s my best friend in the kitchen. I don’t need a fancy coffee machine, I’ve got my Bialetti that I bought right here from Simply Divine Kitchen. I want to help people find their best friend, and something that will serve them for years to come.”

Barb recently opened Simply Divine Cloth & Clay, a charming sister store just steps away. This isn't your average homeware haven – here, you'll find a curated collection that's both fun and functional. Expect unique finds with a touch of personality, perfect for sparking conversation and infusing your home with character. Quality is paramount, so you'll discover treasures from local artisans alongside beautiful, handcrafted pieces made right here in New Zealand. Simply Divine Cloth & Clay is an invitation to embrace the unconventional and surround yourself with homewares you'll cherish for years to come.

Barb's love for creating beauty extends beyond her stores. She also grows and makes natural lavender products. Starting from her backyard in Cambridge, she cultivates and harvests crops of lavender to distill into lavender essential oil, before hand-crafting it into natural soaps, oils, body butters, and balms.

The naturally soothing effects of lavender have been utilized for centuries, and in these busy times it's more important than ever to find a way to relax and unwind throughout your day - Barb's lavender creams and soaps might be just the trick you need.
