It is owned and operated by Maritime New Zealand. HistoryThe light was built in 1913 and was originally fueled by oil. It was officially lit for the first time on Sunday January 12, 1913, sending out a triple flash every 45 seconds that could be seen for 35 kilometres.[3] In 1954 the oil lamp was replaced with an electric one powered by a local diesel generator. This was subsequently replaced by a connection to the mains grid in 1961. The nearby Castlepoint beach is popular with holiday makers and the lighthouse itself became a popular tourist attraction, acquiring the nickname "The Holiday Light". The light was fully automated in 1988 and is now managed from a central control room in Wellington. See also{{stack|{{Portal|New Zealand }}}}
