• The Kauri Museum
  "Excellent museum"
  "Am not normally a museum person, but it was pouring with rain so I decided to risk it. And I'm so glad I did. It shows how life was back when the gumdiggers worked the north lands, but also the Kauri tree workers. And also recreates life for settlers with rooms recreated to show how life was. It is ..."all lovingly recreated and you can imagine how life was. It is supplemented with the equipment used along with wonderful examples of Kauri and a gum room with, literally, wall to wall examples of gum. There was also a moving Anzac memorial which I'm not ashamed to say, brought a tear to my eye, and I'm not a Kiwi. I can highly recommend a visit. Worth every dollar. " More >
• The Kauri Museum
  "If you like history & museums...."
  "It was a funny kind of place but very interesting & informative. We couldn't believe how much was packed into this place. Some of the displays were rather random but we enjoyed the odd cultural quirkiness of the place. It gave a good overview of how the North Island was settled & what life was lik..."e way back when.

• The Kauri Museum
  "A bit of New Zealand Heritage"
  "We had been told not to miss this museum, but as we normally steer clear of museums, we had our doubts. Nevertheless, we were passing Matakohe and decided to stop by. We are glad that we did. It is a great history of the kauri loggers, their machinery and the gum gatherers. It also has a number ..."of tableaus demonstrating the people and the times of one of New Zealand's historical eras. The kauri furniture is lovely and the gum room is also quite interesting. Well worth the visit and the small entrance fee. " More >
