Surprising museum providing plenty of different aircrafts type. Luckily, we have met on of the museum tenant who provides us a very detailed visit for two French travelers ! And the bar/restaurent is very nice too!
Thank you for your kind words and we hope you enjoy the rest of your travels within New Zealand
We found this little gem of a museum whilst travelling down to The Catlins. At only NZ$ 12 per person it was well worth the money. You can get close to all the exhibits although touching is not allowed. Also go and get a coffee...More
Thank you for your kind words and we hope you thoroughly enjoy the rest of your travels in New Zealand
A great selection of restored flying aircraft. There are several tiger moths. Definitely worth the visit. Thanks to the nearby private restoration company for such a great job and also spending some time talking to a fellow tiger moth enthusiast
Thank you for your kind words and we hope you enjoy the rest of your travels.
We were just passing by when we stumbled on this amazing place. One of us is an aircraft enthusiast whose father flew small planes in the 50's and 60's. They were so inviting and interesting. All the staff we met were extremely knowledgeable as they...More

Great and interesting experience. Guided tour of the workshop and information first class. Café staff informative and friendly. Food good variety not expensive and fresh.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed what we have to offer our visitors within the different business on site.
Not really my thing and at $10 it was a bit costly to look at about 10 planes in various stages of restoration. It was interesting at a superficial level but not enough other add on exhibits to make me stop for long. Nicely set...More
