Sights in Doubtless Bay

  1. Whaling Museum

    At Hihi, 15km northeast of Mangonui, is Butler Point, where you can take a guided tour around the small Whaling Museum, housed in a Victorian homestead (1843) with lovely gardens. Its first owner, Captain Butler, left Dorset when he was 14 and at 24 was captain of a whaling ship. He settled here in 1839, had 13 children and became a trader, farmer, magistrate and Member of Parliament.
