Het begraven dorp Te Wairoa, op slechts 15 minuten rijden van de stad Rotorua, biedt een eerste blik op een van de grootste natuurrampen van Nieuw-Zeeland. Kom meer te weten over de verwoestende gevolgen van de uitbarsting van de berg Tarawera in 1886, die Te Wairoa begroef en meer dan 150 levens kostte. Nu, ruim een eeuw later, biedt het opgegraven dorp een unieke kans om te zien hoe de Maori-inwoners en vroege kolonisten in het gebied leefden. Groepsrondleidingen, audio-/videorondleidingen en lezingen, die bij uw toegangsbewijs zijn inbegrepen, zijn de hele dag door gepland. Kom meer te weten over de geologische en geothermische kenmerken van het Tarawera-meer, de berg Tarawera en het omliggende merengebied. Ontdek wat er is gebeurd met de roze en witte terrassen, ooit een populair natuurlijk herkenningspunt. Ontdek hoe het dorp Te Wairoa is ontstaan, de rol die het speelde bij de ontwikkeling van de regio en hoe zijn erfenis tot op de dag van vandaag de toeristenindustrie van Nieuw-Zeeland beïnvloedt. Maak kennis met het museum van wereldklasse van Te Wairoa en zijn verzameling opgegraven voorwerpen. Verken de archeologische vindplaats, die de verwoesting van de uitbarsting onthult, en loop over een verhard pad langs de plekken die de mensen van Te Wairoa ooit hun thuis noemden. Neem de Waterfall Trail naar Wairere Falls, die 30 meter naar beneden stort in de vallei. Ga naar Vi's Teahouse voor heerlijke scones, Devonshire-thee en uitstekende koffie, of blader door het assortiment geschenken in de cadeauwinkel. Kinderen kunnen op de opgegraven sites zoeken naar aanwijzingen of naar de Adventure Playground gaan. Trek 1-1,5 uur uit om het hele Buried Village te ervaren.

The museum here is fantastic, it has a very clear timeline & recount of the villages, settlers, tourists & life before & after the 1886 eruption. The Smith family should be very proud of the work they have done to resurrect this part of history & escavate the village to show what the eruption meant for the village.
This is something that you just don't see every day so it is worth going just for that reason. It is just so surreal walking around the site and trying to imagine the horrors and wonders of that historic night. I wish I could have seen the pink and white terraces. I also think it would have been truly amazing to see the eruption (from a safe distance of course!). It is also one of the cheaper experiences in the Rotorua area so I'm not sure why people are complaining about the price.
What an interesting history that the buried villiage tells us about. A good price for the experience. It took us about an hour to go through the history and walk the grounds. Being August, it was quiet, but it was a lovely educational experience that was enjoyed by us both.
I was a little disappointed, there is a lot of information at the beginning and it is all very interesting, but was a little lost once we walked outside. I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking at. Also we were told there was a wonderful waterfall loop to walk, but then you get there and no loop because of a rockfall, so you were not sure how far to go. More accurate information on this would have been nice. I felt it was a bit overpriced for what it was, although well set out. A great affordable cafe on site is a bonus though.
We visited the Buried Village during our Honeymoon Campervan adventure. Found the museum to be very informative and well worth the trip off the beaten track. As Australians on our first visit to New Zealand we learned a lot about the history and culture while visiting. This location is a stark reminder of how temporary we as humans are in the face of nature's raw fury. The walk through the village and waterfalls was stunning and loved the stories alongside the historical sites. We also enjoyed great service from the curators and coffee shop staff alike. Definitely recommend a visit.
Thank you for your review
Was a surprising little gem of a place. Awesome walk down to a beautiful view of a water fall. Gorgeous little cafe and gift shop. Definitely recommend
Thank you for your review
Beautiful scenery Interesting Steep stairs We did it in very heavy rain, but that made it more atmospheric, lush and challenging in some areas. Enjoyed it more than expected.
Thank you for visiting and thank you for your review
Informative and tragic step back in time of the 1886 volcanic eruption which near destroyed the village of Te Wairoa. The personal memoirs from survivors recounted traumatic first-hand experiences brought the event to life.
Kia ora Fran - thanks for your review
We appreciate that this is a small private enterprise, but the price is too high. We were occupied for 1.5hrs. The museum and the waterfall are the highlights. The excavated areas are certainly not Pompeii. Having read and heard about the eruption of 1886 on other tours, we could have skipped this attraction.
Thanks for your feedback, we appreciate your thoughts - due to the nature of the natural environment and the materials used to create the original village we are more a place of storytelling and remembrance than Pompeii which has many more permanent and long lasting features
Amazing place with a real atmosphere. The museum told the story of the volcanic explosion really well. Makes you wonder how we would react if it happened again today.
Thank you for your review - we constantly think about what it would be like for the people if it happened again anywhere in New Zealand
