What an amazing museum, I thought before I went in, "another museum, no", but was I wrong. This is a great asset to NZ. The working mill was very interesting and the hotel with the rooms on display was also. As you leave you go through a gift shop, which had a range of products. Totally recommend a stop here, give yourself 2hrs.
