Is this The Kauri Museum at Matakohe?
No. Kauri NZ is an independent online museum and directory, operated by 0 Digital in Aotearoa New Zealand. We are not affiliated with The Kauri Museum, Matakohe. To visit that museum, use its own website.
Where do your photos come from?
Historic photos come from public collections such as the Alexander Turnbull Library and Wikimedia Commons, used under their public-domain or Creative Commons licences and credited under each image. Some images are illustrations we made; those are labelled "Illustration".
Can I visit Tāne Mahuta and other giant kauri?
Yes, many kauri walks are open, but some tracks are closed to protect trees from kauri dieback. Always check the Department of Conservation (DOC) website for the track status, clean your footwear at every cleaning station and stay on the track and boardwalks.
Can I buy kauri timber or gum here?
We do not sell timber or gum ourselves. The Makers and Places directory lists New Zealand businesses that make or sell kauri products, and you buy directly from them. Swamp kauri milling and export are regulated by the Ministry for Primary Industries.
How do you choose the businesses you list?
Every listing is checked against our editorial policy before it appears: the website has to load, the business has to be a real, operating New Zealand business, and it has to make, sell or show something connected to kauri. We describe each one using only what its own website says.
Why does a listing say "Illustrative photo"?
Until a business claims its listing and adds its own photos, we show one of our own images. We never copy photos from a business's website without permission.
I make or sell kauri products, or run kauri tours. How do I get listed?
Use the List your business page. Listing is free. Once it is live you can claim it, add your own photos and correct any details.
What do the paid plans add?
Verified (NZ$49 a year) adds a Verified badge, your logo and up to 3 categories. Premium (NZ$99 a year) also places you above free listings in your region and category, puts you on our homepage and gives you a followed link to your website. Prices include GST.
How do the ebooks work?
Ebooks in the Museum Shop are PDFs. After you pay through Stripe we email you a download link straight away. Prices are in New Zealand dollars and include GST.
Something in a gallery or listing is wrong. What do I do?
Email support@kau.nz and we will fix it. Corrections from people who know kauri history are very welcome.
