★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tino ataahua te marae nei. Beautiful place , Okains Bay is the place to be on Waitangi day if you live around the Banks Peninsula or Canterbury region. The Hangi is to die for. Good old traditional ground Hangi not a steamed job either and the ceremonial launching of the Waka . Good day for the whanau.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Brilliant place, the new room with the artifacts from ngai tahu is incredible. Their collection is better than Canterbury Museums. Especially impressed by the Kereru trap. Everything is so lovingly done here. Love seeing the historical waka too.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing museum seemingly tucked away in the back of beyond. Highly recommended, in fact worth going out of your way to make the stop. Also plan for a good hour as they have a great collection of early Maori artifacts and history as well as the colonial history. Then not far to pop into the cool Okains Bay General store with a great collection of retro bits and pieces to fit out your campervan and grab an ice cream.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of those amazing Kiwi hidden gem museums full stop from the outside it looks like it's only small but inside there's a lot more including a huge collection of Maori taonga

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This museum houses a truly impressive collection of Maori artifacts, from all parts of New Zealand. The Waka collection is among the best in New Zealand. Items are carefully displayed and labels give a clear explanation of significance and purpose.
The colonial section is well set out, showing a wide range of items across the life of colonial New Zealanders.
The cottages and other buildings are well maintained and have a sense that the owners and workers have just stepped out for a moment
The museum is well worth a visit.
