Hi there, I see Te Puia is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Is this all year round? We are looking to visit in mid April 2022 and my itinerary looks like we will be there on Monday and Tuesday.

Kia ora Ashlea, Thank you for question - apologies for the delayed response. Short answer is... we will be 5-days a week until the end of this calendar year, but will be constantly reviewing demand levels for next year. Once we make a decision, we will post that on our website and I have also made a note to follow up to you directly as well. We look forward to your visit to Aotearoa and Te Puia ! Nga mihi, Sean

Kia ora sonshine-lover We have plenty of parking here at Te Puia! We have two car parking areas; if you can't get into the first one you will be re-directed to our southern car park which is only a 5minute walk from our park. We look forward to hosting you! Nga Mihi Te Puia Whanau
My husband and I want to rent a car from the port at Tauranga and drive to Te Puia on Nov. 5th, 2019. Would it be crazy to try and drive to Hobbiton movie set from there and then back to the port? The ship docks at 8am and leaves at 7pm. And do we need reservations to get into either of these places before we go?

Kia ora sonshine-lover, You will need to set aside at least 3-4hours for driving, between each place. It would pay to book into Hobbiton as they can get booked out quite quickly - you can come to Te Puia at anytime from 8pm - 6pm (summer hours). Guided tours occur every hour; cultural shows which you need to book into are: 10:15am, 12:15pm and 3:15pm. Hope this helps with your travel plans, feel free to visit our website should you require any further information. Nga Mihi Te Puia Whanau
