If you are visiting Waipoua Forest, be sure to stop at Rick Taylor's studio. He is an extraordinary craftsman who makes exquisite objects out of ancient Kauri wood. He also generously shares his knowledge of the material and his deep respect for Northland's unique ancient trees. Delightful!

All of it. It had displays of all sorts of periods from early Maori to Dally gum diggers to swamp kauri recovery to world wars displays to the french terrorists in NZ. A great museum. Well worth the entry fee. Allow a good bit of time--it is much bigger than you might think !

Beautiful fresh water lake with golden Sandy beach. You can wade out 50-60m into the shallows and just be mesmerised by how clear the water is and how the light bounces through it. Really great spot for a picnic and there’s an outdoor play area for the kids. You’ll feel like you’ve missed out if you don’t check this out whilst on holiday in the area.
