The Historic Village Shopping Mall, Tauranga

The Historic Village in Tauranga is a charming attraction that transports visitors back in time with its collection of original and replica buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Spread across a leafy, park-like setting, the village recreates the look and feel of an early New Zealand settlement, complete with cobbled streets, vintage architecture, and period details.

Wandering through the village, visitors will find restored shops, churches, and civic buildings, each housing unique businesses, galleries, or displays. Many of the structures are authentic historical buildings that were relocated here to preserve them, while others are faithful reconstructions. Inside, you might discover artisan workshops, boutique stores selling crafts and antiques, or exhibitions showcasing local history and culture.

The Historic Village is also a hub for Tauranga’s creative community, hosting regular markets, live performances, and art exhibitions. Its charming streets often serve as a backdrop for weddings, festivals, and cultural events, adding to its appeal for visitors seeking a deeper connection with the city’s cultural life. Seasonal fairs bring in food stalls, music, and family-friendly activities.
