Kemp House (at Kerikeri), New Zealand’s oldest standing building, was built with pit-sawn kauri timber in 1822 for the Rev. John Butler. The twostorey house was used by a number of missionaries until James Kemp, a carpenter and original pioneer settler, moved in 10 years later. The homestead remained in the Kemp family for more than 140 years. Now administered by the Historic Places Trust, the building is full of Victoriana and is open to the public from 10.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., and from 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.
