Very interesting Museum, was great to learn about the rich history of the area. It’s well set out and well presented. Recommend visiting when in Whitianga

Really awesome little museum. I was pleasantly surprised with the array of different things on display. They also had a treasure hunt for the children which was really cool and my son won a small prize! Definitely worth a look through on a rainy day
