Discover the power and ingenuity of historic gold processing
Each guided tour (up to 30 minutes) 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 views of the Coromandel landscape.
Historic, original, and operating for over 100 years…an experience not to be missed!
