Te Waimate Mission holds a significant place in New Zealand's history as the fourth mission station established in the country. It was also the first inland settlement from the Bay of Islands, marking a shift in the pattern of settlement during the early missionary period. Today, visitors can explore this historic site and learn about its unique role in the country's past.
Village Life at Te Waimate Mission
The village of Te Waimate Mission was a self-contained community, featuring three wooden houses for missionary families, a flour mill, printery, carpenters' shop, brickworks, blacksmith, school, and a church. This gives visitors a glimpse into the daily life and operations of a mission station during the 19th century.
George Clarke's House
The house originally occupied by George Clarke is the only remaining structure from the original Te Waimate Mission. Preserved by Heritage New Zealand, it now serves as a museum where visitors can learn about the mission's history and the lives of those who lived there.
