Full Description

We share stories of courage and determination, tragedy and triumph, boundless hope and unfathomable loss; kauri making a nation. Dig deeper here. Since 1962 the Kauri Museum has been gathering, displaying and sharing with visitors an internationally significant collection of: - humble tools made important in time of mud, grit, smoke and fire. - Handcrafted objects of rare and exquisite beauty. - Dazzling displays of precious kauri gum, the hardened resin of kauri trees. Enjoy "The Great Indoors" to explore a treasure of "The Great Outdoors". As the largest under-cover visitor attraction north of Auckland the Kauri Museum has 4,500sqm of exhibition halls, galleries and rooms of treasures. Walk through a Once-and-Future Forest, an enchanted space which has echoes of the forest that's gone and is yet to come. The Forest Walkway is a journey from darkness to light where the Kauri stars in the Māori creation legend Te Waonui o Tāne about the beginning of time. It's the Kauri Museum's latest addition. Rain or shine, a visit to the Kauri Museum adds fresh meaning to a timeless story that captures hearts and ignites imaginations about the past and present, encouraging hope for tomorrow. If you seek wonder, awe and delight for several hours or a day (or more), this award winning attraction is a long-established and popular destination for travelers, scientists, researchers, families and children alike.

Our Gumdigger cafe is open from 10am till 3pm and our parking allows for fully self contained vehicles to camp overnight.
