I've been visiting this place since I was a kid, so for me, it's the quintessential honey experience. It's changed a lot since I first remember it, but it's the same welcoming experience, with a remarkable array of honey, and honey products. The themed area for the kids is something ours still talk about, as well as having the chance to learn *so much* more about bees, hives, and honey. Being able to not only see them coming and going, but also at work inside the hives is a remarkable experience, which I always marvel at!

I had a fantastic time at Huka Honey Hive doing their beekeeping tour. Our tour guide Jo gave an insightful and passionate talk on bees, and all throughout the tour I felt in very safe hands. It was so lovey to see the 'girls' (bees) go about their business, and they were quite undisturbed by our presence. The whole hive was deconstructed so we could see all working parts of it. We even got to meet the Queen! The best part was spinning the honey to take home at the end of the tour. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Adorable shop! All things bee related can be found here. Really friendly people and great products. Worth the stop

A brilliant shop, so tidy, clean, filled with interesting and amazingly good products. Staffed by people who enjoy their job and know retail. We came across it by accident but we will definitely go back again on purpose!! So many things to learn and so many fantastic items to try. We shared some of our goodies with friends and family and I'll be buying some of them on line now that we have had them once!! Great experience. It also has a learning area and play area for kids, couldn't ask for more.
