Thought the museum as fantastic and very well presented exhibitions.Great history of the area and NZ life in general.Would love to go back when have more time!

A must see!!!! If you’re in town, pop in and pay a visit to the wonderful Lady’s that put their whole heart into preserving the rich heritage of Ōpōtiki and continue to serve their community with out expecting anything in return. They love sweets, soo, if you are feeling generous, a little something would be greatly appreciated by the most wisest women I ever did meet. A little wit and humour is something they love, to brighten their day.

So much interesting stuff in this museum, both to do with the history of the area but also just in general. Came here looking for ancestry information and left with a few pictures of articles floating around the place. Lady that works at the counter is very helpful.

What a credit to the volunteers that have created this interesting museum. Beautifully displayed, clean and informative. 3 stories to this facinating collection of history so I would recommend you allow an hour or more for your visit.

My expectations weren't too high after looking at the downstairs (it was an eclectic mix of random looking items), but upstairs and the mezzanine were fascinating. Overall, the museum was clean and well organised.

Never knew Opotiki had a museum or how good it was! First floor is all manner of everyday implements and stuff from the surrounding area collected and displayed in little groups e.g. Collection of stuff from the old Opotiki hospital, farming implements & stationary engines, etc. Second floor is less exciting with old photos from the past & geological stuff. The third floor is a real treasure with a big selection of Maori artifacts & mock-ups of various homes during Opotiki's history.

Unexpected treasure, superbly presented, best small town museum we've seen.

Great place to visit and learn about the history of Opotiki. Wheelchair accessible and displays are a good height and awesome quality. The ladies where ver helpful ans friendly. Recommend visiting.
