Customer Feedback
Outstanding service
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We are beyond grateful to Guthrie Bowron Whangārei, especially Maja, for the outstanding service we received! Before coming here, we had visited other curtain places and were told it would definitely take 4–6 weeks, with no certainty of an exact completion date. Not only did they meet the tight deadline, but the curtains turned out absolutely stunning - far better than we imagined. Maja went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and her professionalism, honesty, and dedication really stood out. Guthrie Bowron Whāngarei, September 2025 Source: Google Reviews
Thrilled with the result
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A huge thank you to Eleanor and her team. It was a pleasure to deal with you through measure and quote, choosing fabric and installation of the finished curtains. We are thrilled with the result. Many thanks. Guthrie Bowron Thames, September 2025 Source: Google Reviews
Exceptional customer service
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Exceptional customer service. I needed a random piece for my Roman blinds (not made by Guthrie Bowron) and a lovely lady there sourced the piece for me and made my experience hassle free. Cannot thank her enough. Guthrie Bowron Manukau, August 2025 Source: Google Reviews
Would certainly recommend them
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely love all curtains and blinds. Mandy and the team are awesome to deal with, so helpful. Would certainly recommend them. Thank you. Guthrie Bowron Te Awamutu, August 2025 Source: Google Reviews
Went the extra mile
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I can't speak highly enough of the service I received at Guthrie Bowron Whangarei. From my very first contact with Maja, I felt as though she continually went the extra mile. Communication was awesome, my curtains look fantastic and Geoff, the curtain installer was so professional. In a world where customer service can be dodgy, Maja and Geoff stood out 100%. I most certainly will use GB Whangarei again & totally recommend Maja and team to others. Guthrie Bowron Whāngarei, August 2025 Source: Google Reviews

Great service and products

In love with our curtains
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In love with our curtains and carpets from Jules at Guthrie Bowron Wanaka! Jules helped us with colour and design advice in our home and made us the most beautiful linen sheers with thermal doubles behind and they have been such an huge asset to our home. The sheers are great for sunshading and privacy and the double track setup with thermals behind make the house so much warmer! She really knows her stuff. The wool Bremworth carpets are top quality too. Excellent customer service always from Jules and her staff and always greeted with a smile and great expert advice on all things interior decorating. Jules has exceptional taste and the best practical advice for your home you’ll find locally! Guthrie Bowron Wānaka, July 2025 Source: Google Reviews

Knew their products
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wow, the team here gave the best service we have had in a long time! We were looking for curtains and went to several places. The service here was just so good, Guthries had a much wider range of fabrics, everything from tartan to sheer. They knew their products really well, gave on the spot advice and price guide and followed through on all they said. We both commented that it was great to have really good old fashioned service again! Thank you. Guthrie Bowron Pukekohe, February 2025 Source: Google Reviews

Fantastic service
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I moved in to my first home and was in need of some blinds and curtains. The whole process was quite foreign to me and the team did a great job of describing the options and giving me fantastic advice on style, quality and affordability. The free in-home measure and quote was a massive plus, allowing me to review the options with my partner before hitting the go button. We had a newborn in the home when the blinds, shutters, and curtains were installed and they were so quick and professional! Fantastic service and experience from beginning to end.

10/10 service
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 10/10 service from Karen and the team at Guthrie Bowron Timaru! Could not recommend the team more. We had used their services for putting together our dream first home. With budget in mind and alongside their expertise and amazing design choices we could not be more happier with our finished result! We have the most beautiful blinds, sheers, shutters, wallpapers, and home decor that were carefully chosen by the team and put together with such style and flair. We are absolutely in love with our home and are so grateful for all the design input and efficiency to deliver. Go and see the team for your next interior design needs!
