Toot Garook

Founded in 1995 by Australian expatriate Jude, Toot Garook has established itself as Exeter's premier independent lifestyle store. Our distinctive name originates from an Australian seaside town meaning 'the sound or place of croaking frogs', reflecting our playful identity. Located in a beautifully preserved Victorian building at 19 Queen Street, our two-floor retail space offers an eclectic mix of design-led products that showcase Jude's passion for travel, vibrant aesthetics, and beautiful craftsmanship. We curate diverse collections spanning women's clothing, lighting solutions, home decor, and unique gift items that embody both functionality and artistic flair. Our reputation as Exeter's go-to destination for lifestyle products stems from our commitment to quality curation and customer experience.

The store's signature frog logo symbolises our Australian heritage while maintaining strong local connections in Exeter's retail landscape. Our product selection balances practicality with visual appeal, catering to customers seeking distinctive homeware and fashion pieces. Through consistent service excellence and carefully chosen merchandise, we continue to attract both local residents and visitors to our central Exeter location. Our operating hours provide convenient access seven days a week, with extended evening hours during weekdays. As a family-run business with over 25 years' experience in retail curation, we maintain deep industry knowledge while staying attuned to contemporary design trends.
