Overview

The award-winning Kauri Museum tells the stories of the pioneering settlers through the theme of the mighty Kauri tree. The Kauri is the second largest tree in the world and is famous for its beautiful timber and its fascinating gum. The Kauri Museum is Northland's largest undercover attraction with over 4000sq metres of undercover exhibits.
Highlights include:
  • the largest collection of Kauri Gum on display in the world
  • huge Kauri logs and equipment for transporting, milling timber and collecting of Kauri Gum
  • a two-storied replica Boarding House, demonstrating the importance of a place to stay and carry out business when travelling by boat or horseback
  • beautiful 22.5m Kauri Slab


A true masterpiece of New Zealand heritage that is a must-see attraction when travelling north. The Kauri Museum at Matakohe is 90 minutes drive north of Auckland, just off SH12 on the Twin Coast Discovery Highway. Open everyday 9am-5pm except Christmas Day. Clean restrooms/facilities/information centre on site. Cafes and accommodation nearby.
