Features
What do Mountain Ash, Tasmanian Creek and Baked Bread have in common? They’re all scents by Hunter Candles, a quintessentially Sydney brand founded by candle-maker Vianney Hunter, in 2016. The brand has three retail locations – one in Newtown, another in The Strand in Sydney’s CBD, and this just-opened one in Surry Hills.
Tucked between two terraces, the shop has two spacious levels. On the sun-drenched ground floor, you can browse a line-up of signature scents, plus limited-edition releases from Hunter’s popular collab series. Think buttery popcorn with Pepe Saya butter, Murray Cod fish fat with Josh Niland of Saint Peter , and more. Keeping with Hunter’s sustainability ethos, the shop also offers a candle refill service for when you run out of wax.
Upstairs on the second floor is an events space where you can book in for a scent consultation, private candle-making workshop, or throw your next party – with a menu designed by Whalebridge head chef, James Elliot.
