Tauranga Environment Centre Charitable Trust Reviews

Bit overpriced but worth it even if u can't afford it's a great historic place full of wonders

Good place as a verify of food and places UK drink sports anything you want

What a fabulous place just a shame it is not utilised more

A wonderful place where you can feel various cultures and indulge in artistic inspiration. Even though it's a shop, you can feel like an art museum... and places to rest are not just ordinary. An attractive place with free English conversation classes on weekdays. If you visit with your children, look around, and enjoy delicious coffee and bread, you will have a satisfying day.

Peaceful and relaxed area. Bakery does great food... yummy cream donuts good coffee. rock shop really interesting with fluorescent rocks in the dark room. Clean toilets. Lovely way to spend a couple of hours

Lovely old buildings that withstood the test of time

A very small artsy village which was lovely. Went to the cafe for breakfast and loved it!

Lots to see and do. A fair bit no modern than when I was a kid, DNT think they churn butter here anymore

Improving especially the baker's coffee shop....the doughnuts were to die for.

Quiet, but a lovely place to visit and admire old buildings

Interesting shops, ambience. The Mens Shef shop well worth a look.

Star attraction is the Whipped Baker...Would also recommend the Gem shop...check out the black room.

I have great memories of when this was the proper historic village and doing class trips etc. Turned into more of a business centre now but still has some of the old chararistics that it had. Whipped baker is really good.

So much to look at here. The buildings are old . Cute quirky shops. Trendy cafe serves great coffee. Gallerys are interesting and display local artists. The gem shop is amazing

Its a great looking place but lacks shops and atmosphere.

Interesting place to visit, market every fortnight on a Sunday

Not a museum as such. More shops in historic looking buildings. Clean and tidy tho.

lot happening there...hopefully one day it will be all settled

Not as I had hoped it would be. Quite small town. Glad it was free as I wouldn't have paid for it. Easy to find and lots of parking though.

My 6 year old loved the gem shop. Good donuts and cupcakes from the cafe. Vinyl Destination open some Saturdays.

We went late afternoon during the week so not much happening but was still really good to wander around. Some cool old buildings. Would like to go back when the market is on.

Our bus tour regurgitated the whole of us on the ground in front of the village entry. Many ran as fast as they could to the cafe, others marched to the beat of their own drummers. There's a lot to see here. Overlook that it is largely a reconstruction and do investigate whre the real originals lie. Many of the buildings have taken on a new life as art studios, etc. but there are a few that have not abandonded their roots. Of particular interest is the Faulkner House (circa 1844) and catch a glimpse of the severity and make-do-with-squat kind of lives they lived. It was one of the very first homes in Tauranga. We appreciated the exhibits and thanked our lucky stars that we were born in another time.

Really historic, the "Historic Village" is not, as it was built in the 70s as a tourist attraction. The replica village is tiny and does not really have anything to offer in my opinion. The buildings, however, I felt great, if you stand on this style. In my opinion, 10min are enough for a visit completely. Admission is free.

Interesting place to visit, won't take too much of your time and there is no entry fee.

Tcc had a seminar on garden worms, which was GREAT. The venue was large with fresh water and toilets, very clean and tidy.
A microphone could have been used

Everyone make a big effort go vist this place.you won't be disappointed

Is still under construction, but otherwise nice little shops and cafes

Nice community facility, clean grounds and a nice space for events

A wonderful place to visit and tasty food at th cafe

Amazing place with history and amazing people. A must do for Tauranga locals and visitors alike.

Google helped me in discovering this place so just returning the favor now
Absolutely amazing place which makes you feel like you are walking in a western cowboy era

Could be great, but disappointed with the market there. Very much a flea market.

Great place to visit. Also enjoy the best coffee in Tauranga.

Ginexperience held there. Good facility. Fun place to visit.

Not a lot to do here. Went with the kids.... Managed to visit two places/shops.

Beautiful old place, markets there every 2nd Sunday. Lots to see. Lovely clean tidy place

Was fantastic lots of cool shops n really nice cafe and historic houses etc highly recommend to all ages

Love the historian village grt shops and awesome cafe with amazing food and coffee

Amazing volunteers helping seniors become tech savvy

What a quaint little village. Enjoyed wondering through and visiting the boutique clothes shops, art gallery and local produce sellers. An enjoyable morning spent here.

Neat place to go and see the past history, however it is not a working peace of the past most of it is used for businesses. A lot of potential here but council has no drive to get it into what it should be like ferrymeed in Christchurch.

You've got to catch it when there's an event on otherwise it might appear a little boring

Such a neat place with old buildings. Worth a visit lots of things to look at and a cafe and barber aswell

Whipped Baker is a must try cafe. Best doughnuts and coffee in town

Cute place. The Parent Centre is very cool, and the Whipped Baker has vegan options.

It was a great experience walking around the old style buildings

The Historic Village is a hub for the Community and a great place to visit for a look into the past or just to catchup with friends and a coffee

So cool place, really for a moment though the time go back in the Western World.

Nice preservation of historical buildings, but shops were underwhelming.

Very Nice Coffee. Customer Service is Good. Very Nice Selection off Food.

Called in here for market day, Sunday 3 March 2019, cool idea, love the old buildings. Great for pressy shopping.

Nice array of old time buildings shops, great place to toil away some time

Here you can find old buildings, art galleries and cafes, and hidden stones!! very good!!

Loved this beautiful, historical park. Lots of great NZ art if you are a visitor to the country. The bakery/cafe has incredible pastries and luncheon fare.
