A further 140 kilometres up the North Island is the city of Palmerston North. The Masonic Hotel was built in 1893, on the site of the former Palmerston Hotel.
The building has been extensively renovated but remains an hotel, with bar and accommodation as seen below. Another in the Bay of Plenty is bottome left.
