Gold Mine Experience at THAMES || COROMANDEL || NEW ZEALAND

#thames #coromandel #newzealand #goldmines

We finally drove down to the Coromandel peninsula last March. Knowing we couldn’t visit some popular spots such as Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach because of undergoing roadworks and road closures due to the damages of the cyclone, we decided to stay and explore the Thames because this is where we booked our accommodation. And fortunately for us, Grafton Cottage and Chalets is a lovely place that made the drive worthwhile. So we took this trip to do nothing but relax and unwind.

I’m afraid I spoke too soon because we still ended up doing an unplanned Gold Mine Experience before heading home because why not since we are in the area and gold is part of Thames’ heritage. Admission into the Gold mine includes access through their video and photo gallery, a room with different kinds of minerals, and a guided tour of the actual mine tunnels. You could also try your luck at gold panning.

All in all, we had a good trip to the Thames at a relaxed pace.
