This is the Honey House Cafe at the Kerikeri (Stone Store) Basin. It's called the Honey House because the first bees brought to NZ were brought here by missionaries.
Flowers outside Kemp House, the missionaries home,the Stone Store behind. NZ's first stone building.
The river at the basin (Kerikeri Inlet).
Looking across at the Stone Store from the other side of the river. Mauri waka (canoe) in the foreground.
Nearby is the Puketi forest, a big area of native bush. We went to a boardwalk area where it looped around many kauri trees.
The trees are very tall so it's hard to get the whole tree on a photo.
This is the stump of a massive kauri, killed by men who drilled into it for its gum back before this was outlawed in 1905.
