Mansion House, Historic residence in Kawau Island, New Zealand
Mansion House stands as a two-story brick building with multiple rooms, verandahs, and a classic Georgian architectural design on Kawau Island.
Built in 1845 for a copper mine superintendent, the residence was purchased by Sir George Grey in 1862 and expanded to include additional bedrooms and dining areas.
The residence contains period furnishings and decorative items that represent the lifestyle of New Zealand's colonial elite during the nineteenth century.
Visitors can reach Mansion House via water taxis and ferries from Sandspit Wharf, with entry fees of $10 for adults and free admission for children under 16.
The property includes the oldest surviving jetty in New Zealand, constructed in 1875 with distinctive masonry piers made from mining slag materials.
