A new cafe on the block: Anglers’ Table. It's going to be great for our guests and anglers too! Another collaboration partner ❤️

We are truly looking forward to collaborating with these people. Their philosophy is an easy one for us to buy into. ❤️

Included with general admission
- Fly-tying workshops these school holidays!

Come along on 8, 13 or 16 July and have a go at fly tying. Workshops run from 10.30am–2.30pm and are free with general admission.

We’ll also have a live fly-tying demonstration in the Museum, where you can connect, observe and learn. If you feel inspired, head over to the Education Room and join our friends from DOC for the workshop.

Also on these dates, we’ll be trialling Museum tours at 12.30pm.

These are new initiatives for us, so we’d really appreciate your feedback as we continue to develop these programmes.

*Free with general admission.

Sustainability in action. All food scraps go to our worms who actively create "worm wees" for the garden! Clever creatures!

Water always connects humanity with Mother Nature. The Tongariro River Trail is on our backdoor step. A Must Do without taking the car. Passing through the Tongariro National Trout Centre is always a bonus!
