"If you want to take photos, you'll need to sign a declaration stating they will be noncommercial and not put online. The front desk staff ask all visitors."

"A vast and popular place. May not be so interesting if you've been touring Northland are are getting a bit sick of kauri..."

"The gumdiggers hall is the best, but the hall full of random collections (dolls, boomerangs, thimbles) was an eccentric delight."

"A really old-school New Zealand restaurant. Popular with oldies, probably the best restaurant in town."

"Worth a quick visit to see the original concrete Opo the dolphin sculpture."

"The best thing about my visit - the guide! He was so entertaining and so full of information about the remarkable Clendon family."
