Step back in time at the Coromandel Gold Stamper Battery

Historic, original, and one of a kind—preserved and operating for over 100 years.

Each guided 20 - 25 minute tour features the working stamper battery in action, a demonstration of the historic mini jaw crusher, and the chance for a lucky visitor to try crushing rock themselves.

Finish your visit by seeing New Zealand’s largest working water wheel, then explore the surrounding reserve and climb 140 steps to a scenic lookout with stunning views of the Coromandel landscape.
