EARLY COLONIAL VILLA 1902

This beautifully preserved villa was built in 1902 by Mr. John Bray, proprietor of several hotels in Mangonui.

It was home to a number of early Mangonui doctors, including Dr. Douglas Cameron, a surgeon who conducted a private practice from this house. In 1926, Dr. Cameron was appointed as the first Surgeon-Superintendent of the Mangonui Hospital, which was located further up the hill (across State Highway 10). The Hospital buildings were subsequently relocated to Kaitaia.

Please respect the owner’s privacy by not entering this property.
