We are so pleased we did the Tour. Our lovely and very pretty tour guide, was very informative. I must admit, it was great not been swarmed & over run with international tourist. It was magical, and peaceful enough to hear Mother nature & the birds. We even saw trout in the stream.

Amazing place to visit and bring the whole family! Our whole family was entertained and excited. There’s a lot of interesting history for you too look at! There’s a treasure hunt around the area, and at the end you get rewarded for your time! There’s also a massive waterfall that you get to look at take in!

Every time I'm in NZ I stop at the buried village. The staff, history and amazing grounds are what keep me coming back. The staff talk to you in a way that makes you feel like family. They are very welcoming and informative. There is a really nice museum which you start with and then walk out onto the grounds where you can see the remains of the village. Take your time while you are here, and enjoy everything. I wouldn't do this in a rush if you can help it. For something so tragic to have happened here you cant help but be in awe of the grounds. Walk down along the babbling stream and down a flight of mossy stairs to an amazing secret waterfall! I feel like the Buried Village is less touristy than other places nearby. When we went it was mid-day and there was hardly anyone there. Once your down hiking up from the waterfall stop back in the museum and grab a snack in the cute little cafe.

Well worth the visit. The museum is informative and the outside area is a fascinating snapshot of days past. Make sure you check out the waterfall!

Wonderful place for an adult's birthday "party". Staff arranged a good deal for entrance, coffee and afternoon tea, and allowed us to bring in a cake. Rain storm added to the experience and all guests happy Definitely will be back.
