The original settlers, Charles & Elizabeth Simpson came to Kuaotunu in 1890 by boat
,and started farming the area. Kuaotunu is an old gold mining district with
a very interesting history. An interesting book ,*This Is Kuaotunu*, written by
a member of the Simpson family,some of whom still live here, is available
to purchase. Kuaotunu is north facing with a beautiful safe beach, suitable for
swimming any time of the day.Off shore are The Mercury Islands, and in the distance
you can see Great Barrier Island. |
