Our tour takes us to the Kerikeri Mission Station which was established in 1819. There are two significant buildings, "The Stone Store" built in 1832, originally used as a Missionary Society warehouse and the adjacent "Kemp House", New Zealand's oldest building completed in 1821/22 by missionary carpenters and Maori sawyers. Customers will enjoy a guided tour through both historic sites.

We have lunch (vegetarian & gluten free options available) here along with a glass of local wine or craft beer. The Plough & Feather sits on the very land where Europeans and Maori first lived together peacefully. The menu reflects this with dishes that combine classic English meals and pub food with local accents, ingredients and flavours.
