== History ==
Constructed in 1864〔 from cast iron, the light was first lit on 1 January, 1865. The light was first automated in 1925 and used an acetylene burning revolving light. Keepers returned to the light in 1947 and it remained manned until 1984 when the light was fully automated. The light's last keeper, Ray Walter, remained on the island working with his wife Barbara as Department of Conservation rangers until their retirement in 2006.〔, August 2006.

The lighthouse along with the nearby visitor centre is a popular destination, although the light itself is not open to the public.〔 The building has a Category I listing with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.
