Waikawa Museum & Information Centre

A one-stop shop in a one-horse town, Waikawa's museum incorporates an information center, acts as the reception for various local holiday rentals, and sells important stuff like newspapers and stamps. Its collection of historic artifacts is a classic of the NZ small-town-museum genre: rusty agricultural implements, taxidermy, spooky old photos and hand-annotated maps of the locality.
