    A must visit. Guided tour and Maori cultural event well worth the added cost.

    Make sure to take the tours that are provided, best way to see the grounds. Also the Maori culture performances are pretty sweet as well. Recommend for first time visitors to the Bay of Islands.

    Don't go cafe in the grounds, go to Waikokopu cafe just by it - much better!
