Situated on the Wairarapa coast, a township had already been established when the lighthouse was built in 1913.
This made this station one of the more popular assignments as the keepers children could attend a local school and there were shops and a hotel in the township.
The cast iron tower was also the last to be shipped from England and assembled on site.
The lighthouse was automated in 1988.
