The Northland town of Kerikeri has a long, colourful history. The area was home ground for the Maori chief Hongi Hika, Hongi Hika allowed Samuel Marsden to establish New Zealand's second mission station here.

The Kerikeri Mission Station, also known as Kemp House, is New Zealand’s oldest standing European building. Built to house the Reverend John Butler in 1821, this elegant wooden home has the protection of the Historic Places Trust.

Nearby is the Stone Store, which dates back to 1832 and is New Zealand's oldest stone building. The store was meant to house large quantities of wheat. When the wheat failed, the building was used as a kauri gum trading store.

The terraced pa site, Kororipo, sits above the Kerikeri basin. It was once a stockaded fortress, but not in European times. When the missionaries lived here in the early 1820s, it was the site of an unfortified village where some of Hongi Hika’s people lived. Today the pa site is protected by the Department of Conservation.

Kerikeri now attracts visitors for its boutique wineries, shopping, galleries, and restaurants. Kerikeri has two weekend markets; The Packhouse Markets and the Bay of Islands Farmers Market offering fresh regional produce. The road leading into Kerikeri is bordered by orchards with roadside stalls offering the chance to buy seasonal fruit.

Kerikeri is also home to Rainbow Falls, one of five waterfalls in the area, all linked by walking tracks. Further afield lies the Puketi Forest, an ideal place to tramp and view kauri trees from a boardwalk.
