Interesting trip along 1883 made rail road.

We experienced a new environment. Thanks to all three guides. They were all amazing people. Please keep it up. If you can fix side mirror to look at the back, it would be still entertaining. Thanks for your continuing effort.

So much fun!

We were pleasantly surprised by this experience. It was fun to be riding through the countryside and learning about the history of the Dargaville area. The guides were fantastic - hilarious and made the experience enjoyable. The offerings of tea, coffee and delicious baking were appreciated too. We hope to bring back the rest of our family and maybe do the more extended tour they have to offer.

Pleasant outing

A pleasant couple of hours on a golf cart buggy on railway lines, experiencing the Dargaville countryside. A couple of brief stops along the way where John explained some history and information about the area. A tea stop at Tangowahine with a selection of date, raisin and cheese scones made by Dave (Dinny's Bakery), whilst the carts were turned around. (also portoloos here).

Unique, special, joyful and scenic drive....

It's been in our bucket list for a while and now, we are very thrilled and great ful that we did it. Such an awesome n amazing cart rail ride... Anyone has to experience it to feel the joy and not to worry about busy traffic... All that we did was foot on accelerator, sit back and enjoy the beautiful ride through country side... Bet you will sing Country Road Take me Home... n think about your childhood memories in the open land and in paddock... The lovely host team have excelled in their caring hospitality skills and made us feel special, secured while in cart and provided us with home made scones and special pancakes with hot tea and coffee... Thank you very much for your hospitality and providing New Zealand with your unique and well maintained Tourist attraction n activity, all comes with great value for money... Love it.

A nice ride through the countryside.

A nice ride through the countryside.

A nice way to spend the afternoon doing something different. The trip goes past & through several farms with a couple of bridge crossings thrown in for good measure. John guides the trip & stops along the way giving you some background of the railway & surrounding area. One cautionary note about using bookme is the number of available spaces it shows may not be accurate. I booked 2 spaces when 4 were available and got an email from John shortly thereafter saying my date was full and unavailable. Luckily for me I had enought time on my holiday to reschedule otherwise I would have missed out.

The ultimate -e-bike on a rail trail

After the severe weather in Northland, we were nervous about this - but we needn't have worried. We had a great trip, taking about an hour to trundle along the rail tracks through flooded farmland and past the river. At the far end, out three hosts (who looked after us really well) provided tea, coffee and scones. Then back on the cart, for a slow trundle back. We thoroughly recommend it!

Rare and huge collection

We were very impressed with the personal tour we received at this car museum. There were some rare finds and an overwhelming number of not only cars but other vehicles, farm equipment, bicycles and motorcycles, rifles and more. Well worth going out of you way to find this gem.
