Had a great time at Kowhai forge. Fantastic set up, hot steel and a passion for the craft. Hosted and catered superbly. Honestly, get there and get hammering. I will be back with more people in the very near future. The full day course represented great value for money. It's not every day you turn a blank piece of high carbon steel into something that will last a life time and which will be used every day.

Had a wonderful day knife making. If you have ever wondered about doing something like this, do it. Kowhai Forge are really supportive, the setting is fantastic and the food is plentiful and delicious. If your thinking about spending a bit on a good knife, why not go and make your own? Definitely going for a repeat visit.
The experience was awesome. Tui, my wife had recently purchased a gas forge to add to her collection of metalwork implements for her jewellery workshops. The skills she learned while I was knife making will set her up brilliantly for the future. Highly recommended
Had an amazing morning (and early afternoon) on the half day course today with my son. Something completely different to do but so enjoyable. Rob, Vojta, Barb and Arja are amazing hosts. Great seeing these craftsmen in action and seeing their passion for blacksmithing come through as they assist. Would definitely recommend!! Already trying to plan when I can do a full day course!
I got this for a Xmas present and loved every bit of it. The Hosts, Master Blacksmith, Food, Energy and most of all their dog made the experience every bit more. Well priced for what you get. Definitely going back again.
An amazing setting on top of a hill over looking wharepapa area where hidden an amazing workshop with hammers, steel, heat, great food, drink, and top of the line craftsmanship. Just want to say a big thank you to Rob and his team for the hospitality, guidance and skills that were on show for us as a team today what an amazing experience working with steel, fire, and hammers, hidden gem like many in New Zealand this place is at the top of my list for sure. Give it a go you wont regret it.
Can't recommend this place enough. Amazing team, very hospitable and supportive of your work. Food and company was excellent and we felt right at home.
Amazing place, beautiful views, great people couldnt ask for a better experience
