Really pleasant experience super lovely couple fun to ride in the barrel train the little church was so cute being the tiniest church in NZ
Amazing short stop in Dargville, don't just driveby, stop and see the smallest church in NZ and jump on the cart ride through the secret track or just have a chat with extremely friendly host and grab some fresh kumara. Highly recommend.
May and Ernie are incredible. The Kumara Box Museum is amazing. Everyone need to go there.
Awesome place. Thanks Ernie really enjoyed the "train" ride and the show
This is a roadside attraction par excellence. May's show was absolutely delightful, and the cabinet of curiosities was packed with everything imaginable. The kitchen is clean and well stocked. We had a lovely view of the sunset across the fields when we camped. We were certain we would be murdered, one of the weirdest places I've ever been, cannot recommend it enough.
The absolute best people, amazing hospitality, lovely and genuine married couple who runs The Kumara Box. When you arrive they welcome you into there home and you get offered a hot cup of tea or coffee with some nice biscuits. You sit down and have a good talk to start to get to know one another. Just the perfect location to stay at. Thank you soo much Warren and Mavis, I am going to miss you.
Funky place to stay in a camper, and your fee for overnight gets you in to see museum as well as a lounge area, kitchen, and shower. It’s an eclectic collection honouring Kumara history, nautical and marine life, and a bunch of other miscellaneous things that captured the owners fancy. In the morning I walked over the New Zealand’s smallest church. Kumara Ernie was away so I didn’t get to meet him, or see a show in their theatre. This really is a one of a kind place for being so unique, and the hosts are such lovely, friendly people!
This was such a cool experience! I don't even like kumara, but I had a great time. Ernie is larger than life and took us for a ride on a train made out of old 44 gallon drums through his garden of weird and wonderful creations. Indoors we saw how kumara are planted, picked and processed - it was actually pretty interesting! Ernie showed off more quirky tricks and inventions and told us about the area and its history. Well worth the visit.
I went to the Kumara Box on june25th2019 on a working holiday & I thoroughly enjoyed it. I gave a 5* rating bcos we were treated with lotsa love, respect & entertainment. I'm glad I met Ernie, he has a great sense of humor & the nicest kumara. We brought 5 bags all up. Thankyou Ernie, you & your lovely wife r the best.
Ernie is awesome, what he and the lovely May have put together is incredible. If you like quirky, rural humour this is not a place to be missed and just say you were recommended by Uncle Hugh
