- Alan BAuckland Central, New Zealand180 contributionsIf you want to see ( or purchase) NZ native Kauri art then this gallery is a ‘must see’. Tony and his 8 year old son Matt have an impressive gallery of Kauri art, and Tony is enthusiastic about what can be found in this magnificent ancient timber.
Not to be missed, and perhaps the piece of art you are looking for might just be there.Written 17 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
