Kaiti Hill

Kaiti Hill

Kaiti Hill is an ancestral site of the Ngati Oneone "hapu" (sub-tribe) in Gisborne, New Zealand. It is at the base of this hill that Captain James Cook came ashore, after first sighting New Zealand in October 1769.

Considered a tourist attraction, the hill has a Cook monument, Gisborne's astrodome, fitness course, a park, and look-outs over Gisborne city and Poverty Bay. At the base of the hill is the marae Te Poho-o-Rawiri, the home of Ngati Oneone, which was built by Rawiri Te Kani.
