Stone Store – Great stories, great shopping.
Located next door to Kemp House, the Stone Store is New Zealand’s oldest stone building. Designed by Wesleyan missionary John Hobbs, and built by Australian convict William Parrott, the Stone Store was constructed to hold New Zealand mission supplies and large quantities of wheat from the mission farm at Te Waimate. The wheat failed, however, and the building was mainly leased as a Kauri gum trading store.
Today, you can shop for authentic frontier trade goods as well as classically branded Kiwiana products recalling the great Kiwi summer holiday and the Stone Store’s place in history as a Northland tourism icon. Enjoy an ice cream, or if you prefer, shop the Store online.
Stone Store, 246 Kerikeri Road, Kerikeri, Northland, New Zealand.
