Kawakawa Information

Kawakawa is home to the famous Hundertwasser-designed public toilets - a definite must on your itinerary. This is the only building in the Southern Hemisphere designed by the Austrian born artist and is the last building he designed before he died in 1999.

Visit the Museum in the old Memorial Library (open Thursdays & Fridays) for a glimpse of Kawakawa's coal mining history. The railway line running through the centre of town to Opua is a remnant of those times. There are now regular trips each weekend and school holidays to Taumarere (5km each way) with the vintage steam engine "Gabriel". Visit also the Kawiti glow-worm caves at Waiomio which boast a galaxy of glow-worm lights, white limestone formations and 12 generations of history.

Kawakawa is known as "Train town", because the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway runs down the middle of its main street on the way to Opua.
