Kaikoura Museum
A small but packed with information and displays. Great exhibits and collection of local and NZ history. Interesting quake exhibit and some fun and quirky items as well. This spot is worth a visit!

The One Room Fan Museum
What an AMAZING time we had!! This place is a real local gem for everybody wanting to become the character they always dreamt to be. Kathy is truly passionate and tells her story and what she knows with a pure joy. We stayed almost 2 hours at her place trying a lot of wonderful costumes, discovering real props and talking about the movies. Thanks once again for having us at your place Kathy! I was delighted to become an elf thanks to you.

Mokau Museum & Gallery
We visited to escape the heat but I'm pleased we did. An eclectic assembly of remnants from a time gone by from which we can seehow far we've come. The stand out detail, for me, was the abundant evidence that settler and Maori were able to co-exist in peace, friendship and mutual benefit once upon a time.

Rakiura Museum Te Puka O Te Waka
$10 entrance fee. Small; most of the building is foyer and offices rather than exhibits. Some of the stories are great, others full of detail but lacking in engagement. Some cool artifacts. Worth a visit in inclement weather.

My time spent here was one of my favourite experiences in New Zealand. Kathy is such a lovely and sweet person, I felt welcome as soon as she opened the door. She let my partner and I try on different costumes and took her time taking pictures of us. She owns costumes in all sizes so you will not be excluded from the experience. I got to be in the shoes of my favourite characters for a moment and I will never forget that.

The Elms was the perfect wedding location for us! I was so impressed with Rose and her team, a special thanks should be mentioned to Bob for being super helpful on our big day. Rose was quick at communicating, friendly and very accommodating. The Elms will forever be a special place for us.
