So much fun
We really enjoyed the tour and learnt so much! The gold panning demonstration was so good he made it look easy. It's not easy, but it's lots of fun. We didn't find any nuggets but the gift shop was worth a good look through. I think everyone should stop here on their way through the region

A must see place if visiting the area
Great couple of hours spent leaning about the south island gold rush, with a captivating and informative tour guide. The day from the start with the lovely lady on reception to the guide and then the the bar /Restaurant was a perfect few hours spent, well worth the visit.

Gelungener Goldrausch
Unser Guide , ein Unikum :) , machte mit uns eine perfekte Reise in die Zeit(en) des großen Goldrausches. Nach einer sehr guten, ausführlichen und authentischen Einführung ( auch mit Mustern - z.B. Gold, Quarz etc. ) im „Infohaus“ neben der Rezeption ging es dann auf Tour ins Gelände. Mit Vorführung der Abbaumethode und Erklärungen zu den Maschinen. Im Anschluss konnten alle nach einer kleinen Einweisung selbst „ waschen „ Danke für diesen schönen Tag
