Cameron Farmilo is one of the founders of Duck Island Ice Cream. With flagship stores in Hamilton, he knows a thing or two about the city’s best hangouts, including the namesake island you should visit.
I’m Cameron, one of the founders of Duck Island - named after a small island in the Waikato River where all the neighbourhood kids swim. It’s a slightly off-track beach and a bit of a local secret.
We craft small-batch icecream for our five retail stores and wholesale customers nationwide. We’re all about sourcing seasonal produce and creating new flavour combinations with a curious twist.

Something that has no doubt made us a New Zealand success story is that everyone loves ice cream, right? We love that our scoop stores are also neighbourhood gathering spots, offering a chance to take some time out, as well as enjoy a cool foodie experience.
