- The Howick Historical Village covering 7acres contains a more than 30 original buildings dating to the 1800's which were brought to the site for restoration and conservation. Put together entirely by volunteers the village opened to the public in 1980.
Incredibly well done and absolutely worth a visit, there is a pretty decent cafe as well which I can attest does an excellent eggs Benedict :)
Thanks to Brian (who grew up and still lives in the area) now retired, for his guided tour and kindly sitting in a couple of the interior shots.

Great, we had volunteers that re-created the village into a living museum bringing us back to Victorian NZ times! Thanks for choosing this place for us to learn from!
Hi , yes its sort of hard to imagine the real day to day life of that time before supermarkets, the petrol engine, antibiotics and the internet. :)
Great footage! Nice work by the volunteers. 👍
Hi thanks a lot, yes its all the attention to detail that left me very impressed.
Hello friend😊
Wow great!! Very nice!!👍✨
I love this. Very well done video. I got curious after watching the Epic NPC Man videos and wanted to see what the entirety of this village looked like, and this is just so perfect. I live in the US so it’s likely I’ll never get a chance to visit New Zealand or this amazing site of historical preservation, so I’m absolutely amazed by the detail you were able to share with us. While I watch this as a fan of the VLDL videos that made it known to me, I am also just blown away by how beautiful and detailed everything is. And then reading up on how it took so many years to be brought to life by volunteers? Incredible. Thank you again for sharing this historical museum with those of us who will never be able to see it in person.
Hi there , thanks for that long and detailed comment , really appreciate you taking the time. My channel is entirely NZ centric if you’d like to see a bit more , mostly from around Auckland our biggest city (1.7m) but also quite a bit from Taranaki and a few videos from the South Island where I grew up , many, many years ago 😀
Chris,
Excellent video. Well done sir. This was recommended by a friend at the end of her video. I thanked Wandering Jean already and I want to thank you as well. I will watch more great videos and see you soon👍💯😎🐲🌹
Hi , thanks a lot , glad you liked this one 😀 The elderly gentleman in some of these shots is a retired former manager of mine who actually went to school in some of these buildings and who gave me a great tour of the village having been involved in its development. I've been watching Jeans videos for quite some time usually commenting on the beautiful blue skys she seems to have there most days which provide some relief from the incredibly gloomy winter we've been having this year in particular. 😀Thanks for dropping by .
Great video!! Awesome place
Hi Thanks , yes it's pretty cool and great attention to detail.
Wow so beautiful video 💕
Thanks for sharing ~~
Awesome place
Hi, thanks it is pretty neat, it took me two visits totalling about five hours to gather the video and stills, it's easy to get distracted by the detail. :)
A nice village scenery here. Fresh
Great.
It's a song 'n flower for you
Hi, thanks at lot Anthony , it is a unique and very authentic collection of buildings definitely:)
Good morning my dear friend from Singapore. Have a nice day very good video thanks for sharing👍2
Hi Thanks , glad you enjoyed the video.
That’s so neat! Great video!! I love all the buildings!
Thanks Gracie, sadly the video doesn't really do these buildings and their interiors justice. The effort that the volunteers put in is amazing.
Love these areas and the authentic step back in time...helps me better appreciate how simple and enjoyable life can be...great to have such dedication from volunteers...Tremendous work! Take good care now and hope you are enjoying a wonderful week! Bruce and Otis
Hi Thanks , I guess Canada has a some what-longer history of European settlement than us but in the scheme of things not much longer I suppose. There are lots of Canadians here or have been here and vice versa , maybe its a Commonwealth thing. My dad trained as a pilot for WW2 in Canada so I've always felt an affinity for the place.
Good documentary I truly enjoyed this😊 👍
Glad to see u here ,have a nice weekend, my friend🙌
Hi Thanks , it really is a very well put together and looked after village for sure. :)
Great video, my friend! Thank you for sharing 👍👍👍
Hi thank you , really appreciate you taking the time to view and comment :)
Lovely video Chris - nice and relaxed and I liked the music - Pachelbel's Canon i. believe perfectly complemented the images. I believe
Thanks Clive, certainly the village is a good depiction of much less complicated time :)
Love this historical village! The buildings are so beautiful! Full support here 😍👍🏼
Hi , yes its pretty neat and so very well looked after .:)
It's a wonderful facility that even shows what life was like back then. Thank you for the beautiful video.🌿
Hi , thanks for your view and comment. I believe from time to time they have "live" days where the volunteers come dressed in period costume and work in the various shops and artisan workshops.
What a beautiful place , such a perfect one to lived, more natures and very comfortable to stay , so relaxing and feel the real natures and fresh air as well.thanks for sharing
Hi thanks for the view and comment , a very much simpler life for sure :)
Love how you set the scene with the overhead shots, and a lovely calmness to your clips, gee I feel some inspiration coming on, thanks for your time to share
Hi there , glad you liked this one . The older guy in some of the shots was my boss for 10+ years , we have reminded friends ever since. He grew up in the area and gave me a running commentary on one of the three visits it took me to put this together :) Good cafe there as well .
A wonderful video.I really enjoyed it.
What a historical villege ❤️🙏beautiful.best wishes from SAJITH COVERS Sri lanka 🇱🇰

Thanks Aaron, It really is an amazing site and a credit to the volunteers who put it together and continue to maintain the buildings and grounds. The lady in the kitchen image was teaching school children on a field trip how to make pancakes :)
my friend.잘 지내지요.너무도 아름답고 아름다운 곳이군요. 환상적인 곳을 소개시켜 주셔서 감사해요
안녕하세요 감사합니다. 저는 괜찮습니다. 하지만 우리는 여기에서 또 다른 잠금 상태에 있습니다. 비록 밖에 나가지는 못하지만 다음주에 올릴 수 있는 영상이 있습니다. (Hi thanks, I am fine but we are in another lockdown here. Even though I can't get outside I still have videos I can upload next week.)
2:38, Epic NPC Man, the main location of Greg the Garlic Farmer.
This is a really great historic village! I love all the little details inside and out. Wonderful gardens and walkways-inside all the tools, supplies, work in progress and especially the old quilts, really looks like home and helps imagine what it was like back about 1850! Nice to see your friend in a few of the scenes too. Have a great weekend! Cheers - Jennifer 😄👍
thanks Jennifer , it was the attention to detail that really makes this village stand out . :)
@@Chris-NZ Ah, yes! I hope it gets many visitors!
That classroom! So cute
Hi Thanks , that older person sitting there is my friend Brian, I worked with him between 1985 and 2010 and we've been meeting regularly for lunch ever since.
Very beautiful village, and very well preserved. I love the decoration of the houses 😊👍
Hi thanks , yes the attention to detail in the interiors is really impressive:)
Amazing! 💛 Thanks for showing us this historic buildings. Big Like #13 👍😀
Hi thank you, I have long term plans to visit some of the Historic Places Trust houses in Auckland , unfortunately we are locked down again with the Delta variant arriving here via Australia, it was bound to happen. Our lockdowns are very very strict so I’ll be at home for a while :(
really interesting and beautiful 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks Jessica :)
Really beautiful history village in New Zealand! It's so nice and interesting to see all the pretty buildings & interiors. Nice gardens & lovely tour 🥰 New subscriber :-)
Hi , glad you enjoyed the video, there are quite a number of beautiful historic buildings in New Zealand but no other big collections I know about. I have four of those buildings on my “to-do” list but if you look at my “Wenderholm Regional Park” video there is a pretty nice example. Thanks for the sub, appreciate the support :)
Hello from Japan.That is such an amazing place, thanks for sharing. ❤️ 🤗I'll look forward to the next video 😍
Hi thanks for the view and comment really appreciated :)
Good luck my friend 👍🏻🎁🌻
Hi thanks for the view .:)
Great Historical Village
Hi thanks a lot appreciate the view and comment :)
Fantastic video 😀
Hi thanks , you have my sympathies from across the ditch, I lived in Sydney for a time over four decades ago - around the time the Rocks turned from being a dump into something entirely historic and well looked after , still have friends there. Hang tough and lets hope both countries can get their vaccination shit together.
Welcome to Honeywood! :D
Hahah, yes could easily be a film set 😀
This recreation is really unique!
Hi, yes it is :)

Thanks Victor :)
Is the chain thing with the ball still there?
Hi James , I honestly can’t recall, there is so many great exhibits there . In my three visits there I’m sure I didn’t see everything 😀 . If you are in Auckland it’s worth a revisit especially if you haven’t been in a while. 👍😀
@@Chris-NZ I wish to go back but my parents wont even let me go out but thats fine ill be there in the future
@@Ainngdryy I’m sure it will be waiting till you are able to visit 😀
Yeah epic npc maaaan
Hey thanks a lot 👍😀
I jus wanted to see if it was worth the money and nope its jus a typical museum, way too bloody expensive
Being run by volunteers I guess they have to pay their running expenses somehow but you are right it was more expensive than I expected than say Motat for example , but they do have a discount for seniors but I can see a family would start getting pretty expensive 2x adults plus 2 children = close to $100. Hopefully my video gave you all you needed to see. 😀
Is this Honeywood from viva la dirt league?
@@user-fp4jv7oo3i Sorry I would not know the answer to that 😀
