“Maungakawa is like a sanctuary. People can go and (if I can use the term) ‘chill out’. They can meditate, think, relax and feel the vibes spiritually. It’s a place of healing.”—Principal of a Waikato Kura.

There are lots of Tui that fly around in the bushes. We sat really still so that we could try to record them.

We recorded the cows talking to us as we walked past. They are at the very top of the hill, and they were enjoying the shade when we were there.

“We recently resurrected the ‘Friends of Sanitorium Hill’ - we feel very passionately about this place and we’ve done lots of the recent replanting up here like the kowhai over there. We feel a bit upset that we don’t know what’s going on with the Treaty Settlement. We’ve had a long investment in this area - well the Friends have - we hope that everything gets looked after"”—Member of the Friends of Sanitorium Hill.

We were going to go to the beach but it clouded over so we brought our picnic here instead. We have never discovered this part of the reserve before. We just thought it was a scenic drive over the hill. My friend was put in a sanatorium in Wellington. It was on a big hill exactly like this. #maungakawa #treatysettlementstories #produce #the-aspiration-story

Maungakawa Estate: THE CYCLOPEDIA OF NEW ZEALAND 1902

MAUNGAKAWA ESTATE, the Property of Mr. William Thornton, consists of about 6000 acres of land, and includes the top of Maungakawa mountain. The property was originally purchased by the late Mr. D. Thornton, PAGE 777father of the present proprietor, and one of the founders of the well known firm of Thornton, Smith and Firth. The late Mr. Thornton was a very early colonist in New Zealand, and died in Russia about 1875. The estate is used principally for grazing and fattening cattle, and was for a number of years under the charge of a manager until taken over by the present proprietor. In 1890 a fine residence was erected on the property, whence excellent views of the Waikato, Mount Egmont, Ruapehu, and the Matamata waterfall are obtainable in clear weather.

MR. WILLIAM THORNTON, the Proprietor, was born in Auckland in 1870 and was educated in England. He was married, in 1895, to a daughter of Captain H. E. Worsp, of Auckland, and has one son.
