Kerikeri is where Maori welcomed missionaries in 1819 to establish a Church Mission Settlement. This was the framework for New Zealand’s bi-cultural society. Kerikeri is both a beautiful place in the Bay of Islands, and New Zealand’s most historic site of national importance. An area centred around horticulture, the citrus capital of NZ & Kiwifruit region alongside the arts, music and sport.
