Nelson's Kaihu Kauri

Great range

It was a recommendation to visit this working shop, and the huge kauri logs outside will catch your eye. Inside is like a museum as well, great to know of and to buy any needed gifts.

Fantastic gallery

We stumbled across this gallery, beautifully presented items, lots to choose from, all price points catered for.

Amazing

Swamp Kauri 40,000 years old turned into fantastic tables etc. Of course you pay the price, $5000 for a top. Some are that big you would need to rebuild if you had a normal sized dining room.

Kauri experience

Well presented history of Kauri, with huge wooden specimens to examine. Lots of kauri artefacts to purchase from small to huge, furniture can be custom made on request.

Stop here

We were driving to Paihia and passed this place, did a u turn and came back. Amazing examples of old Kauri stumps polished up and made into tables. Bought kauri coasters here. Stop and have a look.
