Story

Veřejné záchodky v Kawakawa jsou veřejné záchodky na Gilles Street, hlavní ulici novozélandského městečka Kawakawa. Stavba je posledním dílem rakouského architekta Friedensreicha Hundertwassera, který měl nedaleko Kawakawa svůj domov. Současně se jedná o jediné Hundertwasserovo dílo na jižní polokouli. Veřejné záchodky v Kawakawa jsou jedny z mála veřejných záchodků, které jsou turistickou atrakcí pro svůj vzhled, ne pro svůj účel.HistorieOd roku 1975 až do své smrti v roce 2000 žil Hundertwasser na Novém Zélandu nedaleko městečka Kawakawa a považoval se za Novozelánďana. V roce 1998 vyhlásila radnice v Kawakawa, že hodlá obnovit 40 let staré veřejné záchodky v centru města, načež se Hundertwasser dobrovolně nabídl navrhnout design. Průběh stavby také osobně kontroloval.Pro stavbu byly použity keramické mísy, které zhotovili studenti Bay of Islands College. Cihly použité na stavbu pochází z bývalé budovy banky Bank of New Zealand.OceněníToto dílo je vysoce ctěno. Obdrželo mnoho cen, mezi nimi např. certifikát Creative Places Awards 2000, udělované agenturou Creative New Zealand.

Always very clean, parking around the back is better if you also want a comfort stop rest and get something to eat from local bakery or food outlets. Very short walk, not a big town but always pretty busy, this new centre is very interesting.
We were driving through Kawkawa today and told the kids that we were going to stop to see a fancy toilet. They couldn't understand why...until they saw it! Not only is it clean and tidy, it's AMAZINGLY beautiful.
Fortunate enough to visit when there were few other tourists. Spectacular public toilets of the highest order. Definitely worth a visit.
Had to stop here of course! Brilliant architecture. A toilet that is a stunning work of art.
Definitely worth stopping in Kawakawa if you need the restroom or even if you don't! This is the one public toilet in New Zealand where it's not weird to take photos :
Awesome place friendly people and the best paua pies
Great bit of art! But if you're busting there is a newer set of toilets across the plaza at the visitors center
The most strangest attraction for Far North. But very beautiful..... for public toilets ‍
When I visited around 3 AM the original loos were locked up. But a polite notice directed me to a newer facility, a few metres away, that operates 24/7. Very modern, but echoing the original theme.
Wonderful legacy of a world famous artist. Very cool
