Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Ruth GChristchurch, New Zealand69 contributionsWe were so pleased to spend time here. The displays were easy to read and informative, and the audio visuals were amazing. We really felt, as a couple of born-and-bred Cantabrians, that we learnt a lot about how Māori lived in those times and about the history of pounamu.
We would highly recommend a visit.Written 16 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Des IPort Lincoln, Australia1 contributionA great step back into the past.
I hope this part of NZ's way of life and stories are preserved for all of our children to observe and experience.Written 22 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The gravel road was a bit rough in places and at times on the drive there it doesn't feel like it might be a pretty bush walk. But once you arrive it's enchanting and fun. I had a wee fantail follow me for a while. And saw a waxeye and tomtit and 2 kereru. Joy's of being a solo walker.Written 2 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Sarah&CoChristchurch, New Zealand146 contributionsWe had a nice walk along the break after lunch, wear sunscreen as the wind is deceptive. Interesting plaques along the way, good views and a great way to see the birds.Written 19 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah Bkathmandu valley25 contributionsIf this facility had been open when I lived in Greymouth, maybe I wouldn't have left. While based here for two weeks, we've bought our kids here for swimming, used the spa and done a casual body balance class. I also used the shower facility. Ten out of ten. Only slight grumble is the life guards act like fun police, kids are kids, let them have some fun! (Our swimming pools in Taranaki have lifeguards that let kids take safe risks and extend themselves) .Written 3 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julie1 contributionWe spent a wonderful day with Bob who showed us some great spots on the west coast, including the Tree Top walk, Hokitika Gorge, Punakaiki rocks, Truman Track and beach. He kept us informed and entertained with a commentary based on his life time on the coast. Thanks for a great day Bob.Written 3 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
