All around New Zealand we have little wee buildings that are designated as i-sites aka information places for tourists where they have knowledge on local places and businesses etc. This one in Paihia is located right next to the wharf and has a Maori carving (pou) on either side which were created by artist Tupari Te Whata from Tautoro which is south of Kaikohe.
Linking up with Our World Tuesday, Through my lens, Tuesday Treasures, Travel Tuesday, My corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

Nice little info building with beautiful Maori carvings.
That seems so traveler-friendly -=- and really makes me wish I could come visit!
An unusual tourism info centre.
...this is the inspiration for many of the cravings that I'm seen in Maui. You are making me homesick. Thanks for sharing.
How extraordinary! I'd love to visit one.
Happy Wednesday, Amy!
Fantastic Tribal Art. Something like that - but smaller - would be a great souvenir.
When I lived in New Zealand and toured around I found the i-Sites very helpful sources of local information.
