One from my visits to Paihia when we lived in Kerikeri. The Busby Manor resort is on the waterfront overlooking the beach and was named after one of the country's colonialists James Busby who employed by the Governor of New South Wales (Australia) to protect the more well behaved British settlers and traders in the early to mid 1800s. He also assisted William Hobson in drafting the Treaty of Waitangi.
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and Weekend Roundup.

Protecting them from the less well behaved?
Amy, where is your new header photo taken from?
...oceanfront makes it a wonderful place to stay.
A good "B" word for this meme Amy. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
"... more well behaved British settlers and traders" - this made me laugh a bit!
I've just had a good catch-up on your recent posts and some of the places I've known in times past. Thank you. I may not always comment but I do always enjoy.
Busby Manor must have lots of wonderful views.
Very interesting. It just occurred to me that I don't know very much about New Zealand's history.
I love the coast and beaches :)
