Absolutely a must do! So well done, informative and professional. A great way to learn about the history without it feeling like a history lesson in school. The staff are professional and friendly. This is something greymouth to be very proud of

Okay

Für den normalen Preis hätten wir uns geärgert. Optisch schön mit Effekten, aber letztendlich überwiegend nur zu lesen. Ohne Übersetzungen für Fremdsprachen. Wir hätten uns mehr zum "Anfassen" gewünscht. Zudem war Zugang erst 10 min nach Öffnung möglich, da Personal erst 1 min vorher kam.

Māori resurgence

This is a fantastic exhibition and it is truly great to see the Māori story and culture reappearing on the South Island. This is a must do attraction and is worth way more than 5 stars.
