My family of five found the Waitangi treaty grounds tour fascinating. We had a fabulous full day at the treaty grounds. The guide told us entertaining stories, with humour, but not shying away from the gravity of the ways in which the treaty has not been honoured. The Performance in the Wharenui it was brilliant!

The Waitangi Treaty Grounds experience was incredible. Not knowing any real New Zealand history it was an eye opener to how the treaty was created and how its intention to share all responsibilities between the British Empire and the Mauri nations was initially good for all in the Mauri translation but it left out a number issues that the empire added in their own English version. Gathering 500 chiefs for the treaty signing was an epic event. The stories told by our guide were entertaining and very informative. The Mauri museum was one of the best I have visited as I read every single plaque to absorb the significance of their culture and how they were short changed in the new nation of New Zealand. The war museum was also incredible on its own. We loved the Restaurant and its food choices. The nature park and its story of how it came be was also a wonderful experience. Overall, my wife and I loved every bit of it and came away with a whole new respect for everyone in New Zealand.

The cafe food was good and reasonably priced. In fact, every member of staff were brilliant at their job.
