Kororipo Pa is a historically important sight located in Kerikeri and is run by the Department of Conversation. Now a terraced sight that shelters the Kerikeri Basin, Korpripo Pa was once a stockaded fortress, trading post, and coastal fishing village. The missionaries lived here in the early 1820s. Today, it is a historic reserve, and only the walls and earth trenches remain. Informative panels show what it looked like in the 1800s.
Kororipo Pa was a place of strategic importance for the Maori and was the headquarters for the revered and feared Māori chief Hongi Hika. This settlement played an important part in the Musket war campaigns. You can walk in the steps of this mighty chief by doing the 20-minute Kooripo Pa marked historical walk, which connects the historic Stone Store and Kororipo Pa.
