Oranjehof or Oranjehof Dutch Connection Centre is one of the two museums that are part of the multi-cultural, multi-purpose visitor and community hub Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom in Foxton, New Zealand, just over an hour's drive north of Wellington.

The award-winning facility^[1] is also the home of the Piriharakeke Generation Inspiration Centre, a library, community rooms, a gallery, a heritage room, a Council Service Centre and an i-SITE desk.

The Oranjehof museum was created with wide support from the Dutch community in New Zealand. The museum is a centre for Dutch culture, language, community, and depicts the story of the Dutch in New Zealand. It is an integral part of the Te Awahou Riverside Cultural Park, which also features two Dutch-inspired cafes, and a flour-grinding windmill, De Molen.

The Dutch Connection Museum Trust collaborated in partnership with Horowhenua District Council, and the Te Taitoa Māori o Te Awahou Trust to create the Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom facility - the home of the Oranjehof Dutch Connection Centre.
