First Glimpse at the Coles Brothers Restoration

With restoration of Ongaonga’s historic Coles Factory nearing completion this is your first chance to catch a glimpse of the restored building before its official opening.

Extensive work has been undertaken by the Ongaonga Historical Society to repair and restore the Heritage New Zealand category 1 listed building over many years.

Enjoy a tour of the factory, before a delightful High Tea on the Museum Reserve at 83 Bridge St.

The Coles Brothers Building Tour is a part of Central Hawke’s Bay Spring Fling. The Spring Fling is a series of standout events through September and October, capturing the essence of springtime in Central Hawke’s Bay!

Spring is a stunning time of year in Central Hawke’s Bay and the Spring Fling is a wonderful showcase of the region.
Spring Fling events span from Otane to Takapau, Tikokino to Porangahau, and offer plenty of variety for visitors to experience the very best Central Hawke’s Bay in spring.

However, you choose to enjoy the Spring Fling, we look forward to hosting you in this beautiful part of Hawke’s Bay, with warm Central Hawke’s Bay hospitality.
