This museum houses a truly impressive collection of Maori artifacts, from all parts of New Zealand. The Waka collection is among the best in New Zealand. Items are carefully displayed and labels give a clear explanation of significance and purpose.The colonial section is well set out, showing a wide range of items across the life of colonial New Zealanders.The cottages and other buildings are well maintained and have a sense that the owners and workers have just stepped out for a momentThe museum is well worth a visit.

Possibly the best collection of Maori artifacts you are going to see. Well worth it. Allow 2 to three hours .

Amazing museum seemingly tucked away in the back of beyond. Highly recommended, in fact worth going out of your way to make the stop. Also plan for a good hour as they have a great collection of early Maori artifacts and history as well as the colonial history. Then not far to pop into the cool Okains Bay General store with a great collection of retro bits and pieces to fit out your campervan and grab an ice cream.

Brilliant place, the new room with the artifacts from ngai tahu is incredible. Their collection is better than Canterbury Museums. Especially impressed by the Kereru trap. Everything is so lovingly done here. Love seeing the historical waka too.

Great place, guy at the reception was really nice and gave us some really good info. Really fascinating stuff, even our 2yo loved it (especially all the birds display). The recreated buildings and boats were awesome too! Definatly worth the drive from akaroa!
