Really cool spot to check out! The size of the Martha Mine is insane. We walked part of the pit rim trail, which was super easy and had great info boards along the way about the history of the mine and how it all works. Definitely worth a stop if you’re passing through Waihi or doing a day trip from somewhere nearby!
A great walk on a fine day, no rain, there is not much shelter it took us about 2 hours, the signs say 1 hour but there is a bit to look and read the photos attached shows the walk well including the turtle we saw photo included below. There is a panorama photo as well
Excellent place, again I would recommend anyone to add this to their itenarary. Waihi has a a lot history based around mining, as I mentioned on my previous review, this would make a brilliant day trip, visit karangahake gorge and then finish up coming here and possibly drive to the beautiful beach only 15mins from the gold mine. There is a great information centre located near the car park. Fairly easy walk around the perimeter, be sure to check out the dozer and the large CAT dump truck.
Beautiful place to visit, with amazing view's. The Rim walkways is also amazing. It's about 4km, with very nice tracks. Must see if you are in the area.
a good place to spent during weekend.nno ticket needed, can just ownself walk around the gold mine, read about the story, which they clearly stated everything there.
