Dargaville Museum
Perched on top of a hill, the Dargaville Museum is more interesting than most. There’s a large gumdigging display, plus maritime, Maori and musical-instrument sections and a neat model railway. Outside, the masts of the Rainbow Warrior are mounted at a lookout near a pa site.

Blah, Blah, Blah…
The number-one eatery in Dargaville (admittedly that’s not saying much) has a garden area, hip music, deli-style snacks, a global menu (dukkha, nachos, steak) and cocktails.

Kumara Box
If you want to learn about the district’s knobbly purple claim-to-fame, catch Kumara Ernie’s show at the Kumara Box – it’s surprisingly entertaining.

Central Hotel
Pop into the Central Hotel if you feel like a handle of something cold in a straight-up NZ pub.

Taha Awa Riverside Gardens
In the centre of town, Taha Awa Riverside Gardens has cool stuff for the kids, including a playground shaped like a tall ship and a whale jawbone. You’ll also find a fernery, and swamp, coastal and scented gardens. The 5km Historic River Walk starts its loop here; pick up a brochure from the information centre and follow the yellow signs up to the museum.
