What you should know about Corbett House B and B Limited
Another old story our father William Henry told of was when the Alleys came to Hikutaia. Our grandfather plus two of three of his elder sons brought their stock through bush tracks from Taradale, the only trouble being a confrontation with Maori's near Te Aroha. Our father arrived with his mother and the rest of the family by steamer up the Hikutaia Creek to land on our farm at the back where Corbett's homestead is situated. Most housewives made their butter with the cream they got from the top of the milk.
At first the metal was carted by horse and dray to a ramp which was built out from the bank top, just above the Hikutaia bridge. The flooded creek has washed about 30 yards of the bank away since those days. Dozens of men came from Waihi and Paeroa to Hikutaia and Corbett's Hotel by train. The train would arrive at the Hikutaia station around 3. 45pm and the men made a beeline for the hotel.
The 'Dixie Boys' started their band in the 1920's and played all around the Thames Valley until the late 1930's. His brother Len played the saxophone and John the drums, until he left the district. Most of the bands played at Thames, Paeroa, Hikutaia and Netherton for about two years. During the middle of the 1940's dances started at the Catholic Hall in Te Aroha.
The district comprises the stretch of country from Townsend Road in the north to the bridge over the Kurere Creek near Vowles’ farm to the south while east are the ranges and west the Waihou River. DONALD McCASKILL joined his brothers in 1848 after spending some years in U. A He apparently acquired one of the group interests about 800 acres and worked very hard on it though his family did not join him for about 8 years. ALBERT JOHN NICHOLAS was an early European settler at Waipororua , Hikutaia He was familiar with the district because of early trading activities when his boats plied round the coast and up the rivers. see in this Journal Albert John Nicholas of Hikutaia E HENRY ALLEY and his brother George arrived in New Zealand in 1842 and became pioneer settlers in Hawkes Bay. ALF ALLEY who married CLARA LOUISE NICHOLAS in 1887 had a Slaughter House and Butchers Shop on his property on Thames Road from the days when stock sales were big events in Hikutaia.
The early settlers experienced great difficulties in educating their children. Wyatt’s house now stands and one on Maori Flat where there was also a large Meeting House. The children of James and Julia Corbett were John, Mary, James, Patrick, Kitty, Maggie, Winnie, Julie, and Nora
