The Kauri Museum

Take a look at the Award Winning Kauri Museum at Matakohe, located just 90 minutes north of Auckland. The Kauri Museum tells the stories of settlers and how it has shaped the lives of these pioneers through its superb timber and its highly sought after resin or gum. Displays include a huge 22-metre slab of kauri, a replica of a restored and working saw-mill, operational machinery and a completely furnished 1900s kauri boarding house.
