Reviews of Rockville Machinery & Settlers Museum

Awesome place to visit and go back in time, cool history if going out to farewell spit.

Now here's a bit of history that must be visited. My father in-law worked here for many years making cheddar cheese. They even win a world award for the best cheddar cheese years ago. Yet the Rockville cheese factory closed many years ago. The history is now being upgraded, found and displayed really well.

Fabulous rainy day especially with kids. A kitchen, coal mine entrance, gold-mining info and heaps and heaps of old tractors, ploughs and other farm equipment

Amazing place. Full of history and kind volunteers. Very worthwhile to stop and look. Interesting to find out that a few old tractor engines still work! 🚜 Keen to return and donate soon.

A must do for all .. one of the many museums we have visited

What a great little country museum. I loved it here. It's a bunch of old machinery and rooms full if historical items from the region and it's residents. There's not a great deal of organisation which will probably put some off but I thought it was cool. We went on the day they had some of the old Steam machines running which for me ticked it up to 5 stars! Just so great to see this stuff still going. Also great to see such a community of friendly folks come to see it on a sunny weekend.

More than expected! Brilliant museum.

Very impressed on how it is looking! Lot of time has gone into it.

Great place to visit with little kids. Lots of interesting things to see and interact with. Run by friendly volunteers who dress up accordingly and make lovely scones with cream and jam to enjoy during the visit

Interesting place if you like that sort of thing. I liked the murals as a softening of the atmosphere.

It's history you earthier love it or not 100 points to the strong women and men that settled the area this place is a turn back in time to how people lived generations ago and the hard work that was put into the land to turn it to farming and gold production

Small lost world, lots to see.

Very interesting collection

Awesome place to take the family to learn about the local history and also check out some amazing old machinery.

Great old collection tractors some I've have never seen before

Very cool stuff to see here. Very quiet though.

A big collection of rare machinery.

Love seeing history of the area and family history...gives me such a buzz

Fab place well worth a stop.

Beautiful old machines great to see.

Heaps of stuff to look at, real interesting

Lots to see.

Good display

(Translated) 👍🙂 It is a hellish bric-a-brac. Individually, the objects that are kept in this museum may not be of any interest. On the other hand, put together, they give a good idea of what life in New Zealand could have been like. This museum is worth seeing. (Original) 👍🙂 C'est un bric-à-brac infernal. Individuellement, les objets qui sont conservés dans ce musée pourraient ne présenter aucun intérêt. En revanche, mis ensemble, ils donnent une bonne idée de ce qu'à pu être la vie en Nouvelle-Zélande. Ce musée vaut le détour.
