β β β β β Great spot and classy museum. I really enjoyed the Gumdiggers huts and the descriptions inside them. The Rainbow Warrior's mast are both outstanding and subtle. Big and bold with a sad but meaningful history. Brave of them to purchase and install them all those years ago.

β β β β β Comprehensive, knowlegeable volunteers, excellent value for the small charge. Large selection of history books available, as well as obligatory souvineers.
Overnight self contained Van's for $15. Pay at museum before or when open in morning.
Waste dump, bbq tables wonderful views.

β β β β β Probably the most amazing museum I've been in my life. It has literally everything you could imagine in there!! For a little town like this to have a museum with that much collection in there it is pretty incredible. You can easily spend hours at looking at all the stuff. Bit of history about kaury gum, Maori, boats found around there. And lots of other stuff. And the view over the town is quite nice.

β β β β β As a New Zealander exploring my own country I found this museum just right. It had variety to keep me interested and not so big it takes all day to get through it. Staff there are very helpful and informative.

β β β β β Lovely museum right up the top of the hill with beautiful views. Loads of parking for camper vans. Very interesting and well laid out. Good lighting to read about exhibits. We loved the nautical theme throughout. Not too much to look at and great variety of exhibits. Something for everyone. The accordions were an extra as was the clothing. You could easily spend a morning here and stay for a picnic with only birdsong to hear!!

β β β β β Parking and location great.
Welcome was warm and informative.
Collection extensive, over many rooms.
Only down side lighting needs to be improved. It was really lacking on some exhibits. Particularly with items in cabinets.
But otherwise great. You could easily spend many hours there.

β β β β β Avery good range of local and NZ historical items. Great displays of life in the past and a very interesting maritime section with wrecks, whales and ships. The Rainbow Warrior display was very poignant and if you like Kauri timber or gum there is plenty to see and learn. There is also a massive display of accordions due to the large migrant population. The only downside is the quite expensive entry cost but you can see that this money is invested back into the place expanding and maintaining it. There is a nice walk (1km) around the property and the nearby cemetery if you have time.
