William Hall Reserve
- Location
- The reserve is located off Mount Sea Rd, from Parawai Rd, and includes a landscaped car park with signage.
- Description
- The John William Hall Reserve is a former private nursery, which was operated in the early 1900’s by Mr John William Hall, a botanist and local chemist, who was widely recognised for the discovery of a separate Totara species known as Hall's Totara. William Hall Reserve contains an incredible collection of nationally – and internationally – significant trees that were grown from seedlings in the early 1870s by JW Hall. It is believed to be the oldest arboretum in New Zealand. The site affords amazing sea views over the Firth of Thames and a network of walks through these giant treasures.
