Petes Musuem, great in winter on rainy days and in summer to escape the heat.  There is also an antique and curios store which you can browse before or after your visit.

The Museum has been open since May 2004 and is housed in three distinct wings that follow a timeline of events in New Zealand history. One wing is currently dedicated to vintage and classic car. A second wing provides the visitor with veteran cars, pioneer exhibits set in models of a bushman’s huts, blacksmiths foundry, pioneer house, grocery shop and school house of yesteryear. An upstairs area houses the Barry Crump collection (a New Zealand icon) period clothing and a small theatre showing heritage footage of a variety of past events relating to transport. 

Give yourself at least an hour to walk through the Museum and ask Pete to play you a tune on the Pianola and have a bit of a sing-along to brighten up your day.
