Think of Habitat’s retail hub as a haven for all of your favourite Australian and local homewares and fashion brands. Recent newcomers include a flagship store from The Beach People, and a second space from Gold Coast activewear, wellness and lifestyle store Prae, which was founded by Currumbin local Bec Conforti at Cornerstone Stores earlier this year. Dreamy Moroccan homewares brand Tigmi Trading has also opened a new showroom at Habitat, and you’ll also find wondrous spaces by Children of the Tribe and One Teaspoon there too.

The precinct has also recently welcomed a flagship store from organic and ethical clothing label Annukka, as well as the newly opened Aesthetica treatment space, which caters for advanced skincare, beauty and wellness needs. Plus, there’s the Habitat Collective, which features a curated selection of 40-plus local homewares and fashion brands like Kinfolk & Co, The Bare Road and Byron Bay Hanging Chairs. You can find out more about Habitat online. Hot tip – definitely check out Barrio for a cocktail and delicious feast while you’re there!
