5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2012

“Worth visiting just to watch”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2012

This is a great attraction to even just watch. Beautiful part of the North Island and the drive to in and out from SH1 is great too. Obviously you pay to participate but its free to look and the cafe is OK too. More
