5.0/5
One of the best things we did in New Zealand.
The railway is just amazing and it is very much fun to spend one hour there. At the top you have a little break and you can watch the great landscape of Coromandel.

4.0/5
Very beautiful place and you learn about the history of the host who took 35 years to build the railway and now the public can enjoy and contribute to the nature.

A very good experience and surprising decoration.
Beautiful landscape around the Coromandel. The guides are available for more information one on one - speak more slowly.

Railway up and down a hill, built by a local potter with his own hands.
Probably cool for the whole family.

It is relaxing and cosy, good for families and history lovers.
You get a nice view from the top. Sadly you drive the same way down, which was less exciting.

Train town in the bush in Coromandel.
Beautiful town - a lot of information about the nature in the region - a little bit expensive and short.

Views from the top were stunning - good commentary throughout.
