FIND OUT MORE"We believe in protecting the natural beauty and soul of the Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve".
Although there was earlier European interest in Tasman Bay, the first recorded entry into Kaiteriteri was by Captain Arthur Wakefield in October 1841 when searching for a suitable permanent settlement for New Zealand Company settlers. Kaiteriteri also featured in Wakefield’s diary when a korero was held with local chiefs to discuss Nelson land purchases and reach agreement on payment and reserves.
Terms included the protection of tāngata whenua settlements, cultivations and wāhi tapu and the reservation of one-tenth of all land used for the Nelson settlement to be held in trust for the benefit of the original Maori owners and their families. This land became known as the Tenths Reserves. Kaiteriteri has considerable historic significance as the first meeting place between tāngata whenua and representatives of the New Zealand Company whose sole purpose was to colonise a ’new’ country.
On 28th January 1936, the future of Kaiteriteri as a holiday destination was confirmed in a public meeting where Syd Rowling was nominated as the first chairman of the new Kaiteriteri Domain Board and was joined by half a dozen other prominent local people. The Board commenced the set-up of better camping arrangements, such as boundaries, clean water, toilets, and even a public phone. The road from Riwaka to Kaiteriteri was also completed which finally eased the long journey across the mudflats at low tide.
Kaiteriteri is a very small community and is dependent on the support of volunteers and donations to protect the environment, wildlife and fauna. The Reserve has a proud record of supporting many of these groups over the years including a predator control program, Tasman Bay Guardians, and Little Blue Penguins.
Another huge part of the community is the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park, which is an incredible asset for the region and the Reserve. It has been built and maintained by local volunteers and supported by Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve, with funding and employing a park manager,
The Reserve also provides a perfect adventure playground for young and old, both on land and sea. So, this year we will continue to support the Motueka High School Adventure Racing team in their endeavours to win the National championship.
Our team led by CEO Mason Fitzgerald has 30 permanent employees responsible for the management and operation of the Reserve throughout the year. With the seasonality of the business, and the demands of more than 4000 visitors per day in summer our team grows to 120+ supporting our accommodation, retail, food & beverage outlets and customer service.
