Gerald Crapp Historic Reserve

Most of the reserve sits on flat land above steep cliffs, with the shoreline below to the mean high water mark. It holds many fine exotic and native trees, most planted by Tice Gellibrand and Arthur Crapp between the late 1870s and 1900.

At the northern end is raised ground that was the site of the Wai-Huri pā, an important archaeological site with a deep trench still visible.

The land was gifted to the nation in 1975 by G V Crapp and is classified as a Historic Reserve. See the history of Gellibrand and Crapp.
