Visited the Holden Museum and met owners Steve and Joy. They looked after me so well! Great collection of cars from many eras of Holden, all immaculately presented with heaps of info about their history. Lots of other stuff to see too. There’s a good cafe on site too, and a bar! Steve the owner is clearly helping me to keep the Scottish economy afloat with his display of malt whiskies. They plan to open the luge feature soon so I’ll be back to check up on them both. Wonderful place to take the kids, satisfy your classic car hunger, and grab a coffee. Don’t miss this one when you are visiting New Plymouth.

I am not a car enthusiast but I like Museums so I went along. I was surprised to enjoy the visit. Seeing the cars that we no longer see on the roads made me nostalgic for times past. I also enjoyed looking at the memorabilia - the books, the signs, the photos of car racing personalities. The signage with each car is good. Manequins beside the cars display clothing and accessories of the time. No photos are allowed in the Museum for security. On the same site is a spectacular mini-golf course with separate 15 entry fee. The views across the area are great. A cafe with the Holden theme enables one to sit and consolidate what one has seen. A cartoon helicopter ride will entice the kiddies.
We hired the venue for an engagement party on a Saturday night. Venue: large deck with panoramic views, a clear beautiful night and we could see all the way to the chimney and Paratutu, along with a beautiful sunset. We also had the use of inside the cafe. We were able to get into the venue as soon as it closed and decorate. The Mini Putt was available if we wanted to play at cost. The whole area was really lovely. Food: a lovely array of food catered for by the cafe staff. The food was plentiful tasty and fresh. Staff: they were obliging and very helpful. Nothing was a problem. I would highly recommend for a function. We had a lovely night thank you everyone involved.
My daughter and I went to the mini putt and had an absolute blast!!! We finished up with coffee and hot chocolate at the cafe \u200d️ we will definitely be back, I recommend this for anyone! Couples, friends, kids, family... Everyone!
Great little car museum with an interesting collection of Holden cars, certainly lots to remember of driving around NZ over the years. Some other interesting collections around the building as well. Good activity for an hour for any car lover, even if you're a Ford guy!!
what an amazing place the owners have made here!! so much fun and can't wait for the luge too
The minigolf is fun though some of the par numbers seem a bit off... The cafe is definitely worth a stop too. And if you like Holdens then you MUST visit the museum!
Came here in early 2018 growing up in a all holden family and growing up and seeing my fathers new commodore made this plave pretty special as there is a variety for everyone from the earliest models to the latest models the owners were very friendly and was a real pleasure to visit.
