We stayed at a nice bed & breakfast inn next to this museum (got a discount for that). This museum has dozens of displays about the local kauri trees, life during the Victorian times in this area, hundreds of pieces of kauri wood and its gum, etc. You could spend 1-4 hours depending on how much you want to learn. Tickets are good for two consecutive days. Their gift shop was excellent. Friendly employees. read more

Learned so much about the Kauri trees and gum that I was unaware of. Beautifully presented.

We were driving back to Auckland on SH 16 and saw the sign for the museum. This was a fantastic stop. They have so many displays of all kind of antique equipment and future from the early days of the development of NZ . You could spend half a day in this place and not see everything. This is a great stop! read more
