More than 50 years of milestones
From three staff in a small, Putāruru furniture store, to a growing network across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty, every chapter has helped shape the Van Dyks of today.
From humble beginnings
Van Dyk Furnishers was established in 1974 when Joe and Ali Van Dyk purchased Rex Mora Furnishers in Putāruru with just three staff, located on Princes Street.
In 1975, Isles & Burgess, the only other furnishing store in town, closed and Van Dyks relocated to Duke Street, expanding the furniture department.
Taking Van Dyks further
In the early 1980s, Van Dyks introduced mobile curtain and carpet showrooms, taking an extensive range of samples directly to customers’ homes throughout South Waikato.
In 1986, brothers Henry, John and Leighton purchased Van Dyks from their parents. They began expanding into nearby towns, with a vision to create one of New Zealand’s largest and most modern furniture and home furnishings showrooms outside the main city centres.
Building the Putāruru destination
Growing beyond Putāruru
A growing Waikato network
Into the Bay of Plenty
In April 2018, BedsRus Tauranga and BedsRus Mount Maunganui joined the Van Dyks group.
Later in the year, as Hamilton Van Dyks Flooring Xtra goes from strength to strength, a new flooring store is opened next to our BedsRus Te Rapa store on Maui Street, with a bulk warehouse opening down the road to accommodate demand.
Bike Barn (now Van Dyks Bikes) also opens in the Van Dyks Putaruru store to service an ever-increasing demand for bikes with the nearby river trails.
In 2020, Van Dyks continues to expand across the Waikato region, with BedsRus Taupo joining the Van Dyks family.
In October 2023, BedsRus Tauranga relocated from Cameron Road to Taurikura Drive in Tauriko, opposite The Crossing. This new flagship store created a major specialist bedding destination for the Bay of Plenty region, hosting one of the largest selections of Sleepyhead beds in the country.

Van Dyks Living opens in Taupo
Danske Møbler Taupō joined the Van Dyks family with the opening of Taupō’s first Van Dyks Living store in April 2026. Located alongside Van Dyks BedsRus on Spa Road, the combined destination gives the local community access to beds, mattresses, indoor furniture, and outdoor furniture from trusted brands, all in one convenient location.
Flooring growth in the Bay of Plenty
Van Dyks Flooring Xtra Pāpāmoa and Tauranga joined the Van Dyks group in July 2026, growing the company’s residential and commercial flooring network across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato.

Across furniture, beds, flooring, appliances, bikes and commercial flooring, our focus remains the same — quality products, knowledgeable people and helping customers turn houses into homes.
