Worth a visit. Chikd friendly. My favourite is turners gallery with beautiful local artwork of all types. I buy my soap from Turners as we. Beautifully hand made and gorgeous scents. Cafe there too
We went to Tauranga Night Market - a lovely relaxed atmosphere with great music and food
A great facility. We attended a birthday party in the upstairs room. What a wonderful place.
Lovely place to visit. Recommend the Peoples Gallery and the donuts at the cafe are delicious.
This was a little surprise I didnt know about when going on a random trip to Tauranga. I googled things to do in Tauranga and this came up. It reminds me of the Auckland museum's Colonial Village...but bigger.
I think it's worth taking your children to The Historic Village. There are things for them to experience, such as ringing the church bell and going on a little Bush walk. We could only stay a short while. Need a couple of hours there.
A good venue for summer Shakespeare! Really enjoyed it. We will be back next year
If you don't have much time in Tauranga this is well worth putting on your list of things to do very educational lots of great craft shops and things to look at in a couple of eateries too
Awesome little 'village' The Whipped Baker is a must to visit. Good food, nice selection, friendly staff and they have the best dougnuts in Tauranga!
Only food places open over this weekend, weekend markets consisted of one man selling plants as the wet weather hindered others from showing up.
It's an amazing place. The buildings and the ambience remind of of those movies setup in the 20th century. I can literally imagine myself posing there with my friend, in the classic showdown style. Both of us on each end, with our hands on our pistol holders... Staring each other in the eyes..
A hub of activity happens down at the historic village. Take yourself at for a look and make sure you check out the cafe. Its an interesting spot and continues to mature.
A beautiful place to revisit some lovely old villas
An interesting mix of shops. Overall an okay destination though those in charge need to fill empty space's and create a vibrant and enticing atmosphere which will draw people in seven (7) days a week.
Interesting shops located in historic buildings. Great cafe with lovely homemade food and good coffee. Unfortunately there are no set times for shops to be open so it is a bit hit and miss as to what us open when.
Rain threatens, the market's a bit flat today but I find milkweeds for my hungry caterpillars and passionfruit muffins for my mother, and in my head a butterfly poem -
pale green chrysalis
with a tiny chain of gold,
monarch hides inside
Would be a good place to go at the weekend .It is still being developed
Great village great to see my great great great grandfathers house
