Our story

Real Mānuka honey, from named beekeepers

A jar of Mānuka honey on a kitchen table

Manuka Hut started in 2021 with one jar carried to a family table in Italy. Everyone who tried it asked the same thing: where do you get the real stuff?

Answering that is still the whole business. We buy from New Zealand beekeepers we can name, hold every jar ourselves in Sydney, and get orders out in 24 hours on average.

How we got here

2021

The first jar

One gift turns into a question worth answering: where does real Mānuka come from?

2022

Our own warehouse

We hold our own stock in Sydney, so we control how fast an order leaves.

2023

Beyond Australia

The store opens to buyers overseas, with tracking on every parcel.

Today

Straight from three beekeepers

We buy direct from Comvita, Egmont Honey and Mānuka Health, and you can see whose honey is in your jar.

From Sydney, everywhere

Every order leaves one warehouse in Sydney, packed by us, tracked from the door.

Sydney

What happens after you order

Packed and gone fast

Orders leave our Sydney warehouse in 24 hours on average. No third party fulfilment, no waiting on a supplier.

Tracked from the door

You get a tracking number the moment it ships, and we watch the parcel with you until it lands.

If something goes wrong you reach someone who works here, not a ticket queue. Most replies land the same day.

Why it matters to us

Honey is a small parcel with a long way to travel. The difference between a good and a bad experience is usually the boring part: is it packed properly, did it leave when we said, can you see where it is.

So we hold our own stock, pack every order ourselves, and keep the average time to dispatch under a day.

Certified, not just claimed

We only buy from UMF™ certified brands, and every batch is lab tested for its MGO grade. The number on the label is the number from the lab.
