Loads of history here, the first Scottish ancestry Rev. Norman McLeod, led his people from the highlands of Scotland to NZ. Arriving in 1853 they soon set up a community in Waipu with 5 ships containing over 800 settlers here by 1859. They built a school and a shipping yard for boats that sailed from Auckland with supplies. The jetty, which still stands built in 1856 is protected by the council, this will not be removed so there is a lot of history that goes with this property detailed on a plaque out by the front gate.
