This place is out of ordinary ! Such a cool farm park for the kids. Loved the little track to the secret garden, the tree house is pretty cool and all the swings and trampoline for the kids! Definitely a place to visit with kids.

NOTICE: STEAM DAYS COMING UP QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND, JUNE 2021. We fire up our steam engine only a few times a year. For a unique experience witness a C19th gold-mining plant being run by a steam engine. NO EXTRA CHARGE ON ENTRY FEES - STEAM DAYS, 5, 6, 7 JUNE. For the past 60 years, we have developed our site into the main tourist attraction in Thames, almost entirely with voluntary labour. We take guided tours through C.19th century tunnels, demonstrate ancient gold processing machinery including a big stamper battery (rarely seen today) and visitors can pan for gold and keep any specks they find. Open school holidays in winter 10am-1pm every day and otherwise in winter 10-1 at weekends and public holidays. Spring and Summer open every day 10-4 except Christmas Day, Easter Friday and Anzac Day morning.
This experience is run by fantastic volunteers who are knowledgable about the mining process. They explain how the gold was mined and you get a chance to walk thru two levels of mine shafts. Completely recommend and fine for small children. People taller than 5 6 will spend their time in the shaft bent but it's not too long. Opportunity to learn gold panning as well for the kids

Visit The Little Gallery, where discerning art enthusiasts can enjoy and purchase affordable, quality artwork by leading local artists. This diverse, intimate gallery prides itself on offering 'a little of the best,' representing over 50 artists from the Coromandel and around New Zealand. The space is a must-see cultural destination for tourists, offering a snapshot of the local arts culture.
I love this gallery as its a place to discover lots of local art practitioners and see a good variety of different styles and approaches to art making. Its really a gem of Coromandel culture and well worth dropping in to see if anything appeals and to discover new artists

There are so many top beaches on the coast of New Zealand and this one is up with the best. A bit off the beaten track but that is part of its attraction as hardly anyone goes there. A very beautiful beach with lovely soft sand and clear waters.

The views of the bay are amazing from the lookout at the top and there are a few signs explaining a bit of the history of the area and the names of the islands in the bay. There is also a separate viewing area for Lonely Bay. There is parking available at the top and it is a short walk to the lookout from the car park, if you are walking it is a bit steep on the the way up.

This is a stunning walk and worth seeing the small Grove of Waiomu Kauri trees. It follows a creek along an old pack saddle route used by miners. NOTE. 1) the initial causeway crossing is likely to have water on it. We waded through as water was only 5cm deep. There are some unstable stepping stones . 2) parking is possible closer to the track start. Drive a further 500m past the sign. Pull off on the left.

We took the ferry this past weekend for the first time. Good pricing for the few minute trip across the harbour. Both sides of the harbour and wharves are kept in excellent condition. Very picturesque area. An easy walk to the Whitianga town centre. And on the other side nice walk to Flaxmill Bay and if you want to go further to Shakespeare Cliff scenic area. Well worth a look.
