Historic HotelThe property was owned and built by a Scotsman, John McIntosh, in 1861. He settled in the nearby Whangaroa on a property with kauri timber, the same timber that was used in the building of the house. As a businessman, he built the Old Oak when the town was flourishing. But even through the decline in whaling in 1870s, flax and kauri milling was still at its peak. So the hotel continued to accommodate guests and travellers as it does today.
