This beautiful Victorian university complex has been standing proud for over
a centaury.
Here you find
treasurers, souvenirs, good local food, entertainment, and beauty.

place to explore the history, art, culture and old architecture of New
Zealand.
KANES
lead us to explore the amazing history that lies within these
buildings and grounds.
Buildings
Built of
basalt rock
from the volcano this classic Victorian English architecture is an
inspiration of great workmanship and planning.
The old university lecture
rooms and offices are now the home of artists. Take a journey back in time.
Music
The
Great Hall now accommodates regular festivals with exquisite
performances for public entertainment.
Food
Many
international food stalls
restaurants, cafes, bars and craft foods satisfy every preference (the fudge
at the sweets shop is a hit with many) .
Crafts
Many of the lecture rooms are now interlinked forming busy labyrinths
of beauty, activity, things to buy and colour. Often we are able to
meet the craft people ask questions, discuss their art and see them working
on their projects.
Movies
A boutique
movie theatre enables you to enjoy entertainment with the connoisseurs.
Drama and
Acting
Professional
drama groups regularly stages delightful and thought provoking plays in
their own theatre.
Street performers entertain visitors on public holidays.

growing nuclear knowledge have been preserved. You can visit these
quiet modest places too.
