WHAT YOU VISIT
Elms Mission Station
Located at the northern tip of Te Papa peninsula, the Elms is one of the oldest heritage sites in New Zealand. Founded by Anglican priest Alfred Nesbit Brown in 1838, it was here that the Maori were given the opportunity to learn about Christianity, and were educated in reading and writing, as well as learning agricultural and domestic skills. This breath-taking and tranquil oasis features large manicured grounds and you will have a chance to wander and enjoy the scenery at your leisure.
