Best small town museum I have visited! Displays tell the history of the area with plenty of opportunity to read more detailed information as desired. Visiting from Florida, USA, I gained an insight into how New Zealand culture developed in the area from the early days of settlement and the ingenuity 'kiwis' are famous for.

A magical place, with a splendid Museum now made even better by the arrival of the recently recovered sailing ship the Daring. We were fortunate to be allowed to view that lovely almost-new ship which completed only one voyage before being driven ashore where it became buried in sand for almost 200 years. Good luck to those willing volunteers who intend to complete their work and then put her on permanent exhibition. I'd be happy to make a modest donation if a Give-A-Little Page were to be established!But if you go to see the Daring, be sure to make time to visit the wonderful Museum!

Fabulous museum, great layout and very easy to navigate. The history of Mangawhai is fascinating. I new nothing about the team of locals that saved our harbour by re-opening the original entrance after Bola blocked it and created a new one. The government said it couldn't be done, but the locals proved otherwise.

What a wonderful museum reflecting the dedication and passion of the locals. Staff were inspiring and a delight to talk to. Particularly loved the exhibit showing the 60th anniversary of the surf club, as a past member it was just awesome.

My partner & I visited Mangawhai Museum the last time we were in the area, for the first time, and were really impressed! Being a small-ish town, we weren't expecting too much from a museum, but we loved it! Obviously rich in history, the Mangawhai Museum was well designed, stimulating, had a small but great collection of exhibits - well worth a visit.

It had an amazing collection of personal family items from old settler families. Also a great history of The Big Dig" - power to the people! I loved the display of native Seabird life. It is all beautifully displayed."
