Oranjehof

The Oranjehof Dutch Connection Centre displays exhibits about Dutch traditions, history, and contributions to New Zealand through interactive digital installations and physical artifacts.

The museum documents the arrival of Abel Tasman in 1642 and the subsequent waves of Dutch immigration to New Zealand during the 1950s and 1960s.

Exhibits present Dutch influences on New Zealand society through traditional games, costumes, food items like Vogel's bread, and the adjacent De Molen windmill.

The museum operates within Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom facility, opening from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and 10 AM to 4 PM during weekends.

A functional windmill produces stone-ground flour available at the Dutch Deli, representing traditional Dutch engineering and milling practices in New Zealand.
