★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don't miss the museum if you have an hour or two to spare. Very interesting with some very good exhibits and an excellent way to get an overview of the island's history. Can't beat the $2 entrance charge.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ $10 entrance fee. Small; most of the building is foyer and offices rather than exhibits. Some of the stories are great, others full of detail but lacking in engagement. Some cool artifacts. Worth a visit in inclement weather.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Totally impressed with the whole experience. Museum goyer/ shop area laid out nicely, good quality items on sale. Good to see stories of the island's women in this area.
Not a big museum, but incredibly well laid out. Comprehensive coverage of human habitation of Rakiura, from the Maori creation myth through to modern times. All economic sources covered- whaling, sealing, timber, fishing. All aspects of life from jobs, through education, health services, marriage are covered.
Articles are sensitively displayed, with helpful captions. Videos and audio are helpful, too. Helpful, knowlegable staff.
$10 to enter. We felt it was good value. Great place when it's raining!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to spend a rainy day, entrance fee to the museum is just $10 and you get to learn all about the early settlers on the island and you’ll soon discover all the streets and bays were named after them. It was such a small community many of them were related by marriage. Lots of storytelling and artifacts, many of the locals are donors to the museum and you could sense the spirit of the village come alive. There are some local crafts on sale too. History buffs will enjoy this place for sure.
