At the Treaty House in Waitangi, Maori and European joined in signing the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840.
The house stands proudly amidst a vast, peaceful park. Also of interest on the site is a fully carved Maori Meeting House, one of the largest remaining Maori war canoes and a superb Visitor Centre and Gallery.
Waitangi is a place that all New Zealanders belong to—it's a ‘must see’ for any visitor interested in New Zealand's history and culture.
