Te Koha Gallery

Te Koha Gallery offers handcrafted pounamu jewellery and authentic New Zealand greenstone carvings, celebrating Māori artistry and West Coast jade traditions.

Te Koha came to life in 2010, when we the Goodalls (Jan, Mike, Nevada and Vinnie) decided to open a carve-your-own-pounamu studio. Mike is a descendent of the Tainui/Ngati Maniapoto tribe, and together we felt driven to share that rich culture with visitors to the wild West Coast.

The studio was initially based inside our Franz Josef gallery, and it was there that we proudly provided a truly unique and wonderful experience for the next decade. In 2019, our studio shifted locations and can now be found on our farm in a nearby Franz Josef valley.

Our dream of providing an authentic, immersive and unforgettable Kiwi experience has now become reality. We are eternally grateful to each and every one of our past (and future) visitors for their support.
