More about this image
Kawau Island was once a busy manganese and copper mining settlement; then it became known as the home of Governor Sir George Grey. The Kawau Island Historic Reserve was created to protect Sir George’s historic stately home in Mansion House Bay, which is open for viewing. Friendly peacocks are a feature of the grounds around the house. The reserve includes sites and relics from the mining days. Peaceful walking tracks lead through native forest to beaches, Maori Pa sites and old copper mines. Another walk takes you to a grove of large redwood trees. Ferries for Kawau Island leave from Sandspit near Warkworth; over summer you can a ferry from downtown Auckland.
Functional facts: Approx. population 300, café, limited accommodation.
