An older couples experience on the West Coast of New Zealand
Geof W2.0May 2024I am sorry to have to write such a negative review but unfortunately this experience was not worthwhile. The videos of the place featured an active vibrant place. The staff did their best and were very engaged but the whole experience was very disappointing. It was very lifeless despite lots of featured stories of dead ones along the walks.Good kiwi experience
Angela M5.0May 2022Train ride n gold panning n great food n cafe excellent staff great location .kids thoroughly enjoyed itSteaming, panning, caves and more
Desiree S4.0Apr 2021The pre-teens enjoyed the steam train and panning for gold. We also discovered the China town cave. Shanty town gave a sound historical overview of settlers, including an interesting movie. More bicultural inclusive information would have added to this experience.
