There is ample car parking including two accessible car parks close to both the new and old entrance. Access into the main entrance and museum is through automatic opening doors whilst entry into the Kauri Museum Souvenir Shop is via a standard opening door which is level and allows access for wheelchair users.
The majority of the museum is again accessible with great level access throughout and plenty of space to manouvre if you use a wheelchair. A lift is available within the Volunteers Hall to take visitors to the mezzanine floor and also the second storey of the Boarding House.
