Whare Kukupa …..   The Pigeon House  Kukupa is Southern Maori for the Wood Pigeon, or Kereru of further north. I do wonder if Whare Kukupa is actually a post European translation, rather than a pre-European name.

Sugarloaf  …… From William Stewart’s map of 1809

The Pigeon House  …… A descriptive name
