41 Opouri Road, Rai Valley, Marlborough
Charles Turner built this small, four-roomed cottage in the bush in 1881. The cottage was built of totara and beech slabs, pit sawn on the site. The roof was shingled and the fireplace constructed of river stones. It has been restored.
The Turners, founders of the Rai Valley community, endured the typical hardships of pioneer life, living in comparative isolation for ten years.
