An interesting Link to the history: (visit link)

The seat stands beside the stream where the replica waterwheel turns, a copy of the one installed here in the late 1950's by Ian Gibbs, one of the partners of Whangamata Station.
Kinloch Station was jointly purchased in 1953 by yachtsman Ian Gibbs and Sir Keith Holyoake. The two men had a vision of how the township would evolve into the truly beautiful village it has become today. Originally a sheep station, Kinloch later developed as a holiday destination with baches being built next to the lake. The town itself was laid out in 1962 by Prime Minister of New Zealand Keith Holyoake. This seat is dedicated to his son.
