Reviews of Goldfields Mining Centre
K.Good place to visit if you drive pass Cromwell. We joined the guided tour, which gave us lots of information about nz gold mining history (a little bit bored for young kids). At the end of the tour, we had a chance to try gold mining ourselves. You may get some gold if you're lucky 😂
T.It's absolutely amazing how much rock and rubble that was shifted with picks and shovels, until the 1930s Sluice working, the hydraulic monitor was supplied by pipeline from a high dam . There are 2 walks available, the self guided walk 1hr and the guided walk 30minutes and then another 30minutes talk in the shade on how it it all started back in the 1860s, the guide definitely new his history. And then another 30minutes starting up the Stamper Battery and giving a short demo of the Sluice Gun in action . . So allow 1.5 hrs to do the short walk, History in the shade and the live demo of the Stamper Battery .
K.Wasn't sure initially as it is in the middle of nowhere, but boy is this worth the stop and the price! The guide was super knowledgeable and friendly and the guided tour was fun. The gold panning is probably the most captivating part for kids, as any gold they find they get to keep. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful too. Will stop by here again when we come through next time!
A.Had a great guided tour here. Very interesting. Our guide, Declan, was very knowledgeable. Really enjoyed the whole thing.
M.Great experience and very educational, highly recommend making time for the guided part of the tour, the guide Richard was very knowledgeable and open to discussion and questions from the group. Gold panning at the end was quite a lot of fun too. Well worth the entry fee to get in.
G.What an awesome insight into the hard times by the gold miners, especially the Chinese. Well done. Tryed gold panning too but wasn't lucky enough to find any.
R.Fantastic experience seeing the history in this rugged part of the South Island. See the live stamper battery and sleuce operating as it would have 100 years ago. We've been here a few times now and the experience never grows old.. 👍
E.Amazing piece of mining history. I don't remember the price for the entry, but it was very cheap for what you get. There are 2 roads, the self guided track, which takes around 2hrs and guided track which took me about 50 minutes. As a part of the guided tour you will hear a lot about the history, and will be able to pan some gold at the end of the tour... Unfortunately I wasn't lucky enough, or patient enough. 😂
J.Nice place to look, learn and relax, easy to spend a few hours here, café now open too
M.Got at 4.30pm which was a little to late, so I couldn't go panning, but i got all the details for next time. Great place for the kids. Even better when they find gold.
