ABOUT HERBERTVILLE

Herbertville Camp Ground Entrance

Herbertville is a small settlement on the eastern coast of the Tararua District of New Zealand. The large promontory just north is Cape Turnagain. So named by Captain Cook who used the location as a well remembered point where he turned his ship and retraced his steps. 

At the turn of the century Herbertville was a thriving community. It had a large hotel and several shops, a police station and a blacksmith's. Schooners were beached on the vast expanse of shallow sandy beach on high tides and passengers and cargoes were unloaded. The ships would then be re-floated on the next high tide and would carry on their way. Horse drawn coach's then made their way inland towards the settlement of Dannevirke via Weber. Herbertville is 68km east of Dannevirke and about the same distance from Waipukurau which is north.
