Shantytown Heritage Park

Shantytown is a leading New Zealand culture and heritage attraction. Made up of over 30 historic buildings it is a faithfully recreated 19th century pioneer town, inspired by the West Coast gold rushes of the 1860s. Highlights include riding the heritage train, gold panning, the Beehive store with its range of traditional confectionery and the opportunity to have an old time photo portrait taken as a memento of your visit.

Excellent little tourist attraction. This place is really well set up, maintained and gives a real insight into the years of the gold rush and logging and how these people lived. We would have stayed another few hours if we had the time as it is so interesting. A must see tourist spot if you are in this area.
