Lack of international tourists has affected Heritage Farm but like many other Rotorua businesses, it has changed direction slightly and will open a cafe this Friday in place of the Farmside Buffet Restaurant.
Heritage Farm is a multi-million dollar tourist attraction, and while the buffet restaurant is closed, it still offers visitors a veritable smorgasbord of activities.
But not all of it is typically found on a New Zealand farm. For example the 3D Trick Art Gallery.
It was love at first sight for Robyn Van Den Hurk when she first visited a Trick Art museum in Singapore. So in 2017, when she heard Trick Art was coming to Rotorua she was first in line for a job.
"I first saw it accidentally and it was like 'oh my gosh, this is so cool'," she said. "It just makes people smile."
