The only Hundertwasser work in the southern hemisphere before the Whangārei art centre, this public toilet block has mosaics, glass bottles and a living roof. A well-loved quirky stop right on the main street. Pair it with a ride on the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway.

Good to know

  • It is a working toilet block, use it!
  • Look for the vintage railway across the road
