Absolutely fantastic experience. We learned so much I was today years old when I learned the meaning behind “gumboots”. The trails are easy to walk and beautiful. There’s lots of birds around in the bush, and the kauri stumps and logs were fascinating. A rich piece of history for a very reasonable price. We were there about an hour all up including stopping for lots of photos along the way. Toilets were also well maintained. It is a gravel road to get there but worth the drive.
This is an excellent museum to visit. You will learn a lot about the gum digging trade, and they also have excellent exhibits about the plants and animals who live in the forest right there. There. We saw many birds, and you can get right close to some of the incredible stumps from fallen Kauri trees.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Quite an interesting place to visit when in Northland. You can learn a bit about the history of the area and it's people and see some facinating structures from another time. Was interesting to find out how it was made and to see some of the gum. Definately worth a visit
Learn about the gum diggers of New Zealand, who dug for New Zealand amber. Very interesting nature trail with lot's of information along the way on plant's animals and the gum diggers. An interesting experience for adults and young children.
This is a nice museum that explains more of the lives of the gum diggers and they would find gum. A nice little shop at the entrance where you can buy ice cream and sodas and some souvenirs
Amazing place. Really interesting and well presented information. Beautiful walk through the bush with lots of NZ nature and history. Took just over an hour at a leisurely pace. Outdoor and covered seating for a coffee stop. There's about 3 km of gravel track to get there but our campervan made it no drama. Highly recommended that you support this privately owned attraction. And brilliant that the dog was allowed to enjoy the walk and smells too :
It was rather windy and cool. The map was great and LOTS of postage signage all around. We enjoyed learning about the ancient Kauri trees and the gum diggers. The paths were very slippery so wear good shoes and take it easy. Also watch out for the gum digger holes, especially if you are with kids!!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A nature museum park, showing the history of the gum diggers and the Kauri Trrlees. Includes a jungle walk and present historical exhibition items.
Nicely trying to preserve ancient history of NZ's natural resources. Entry ticket isn't required if you really want to see more people visiting such places. If at all required, must be restricted to NZ $1 per family or max per adult.
Very interesting and informative. Highly recommend. A must see. Beautiful kauri gum necklaces for sale there as well. Made by the owner himself. I couldn't resist and had my husband buy me one. Thank you John. We throughly enjoyed our visit
