St Gabriel's was one of the largest and most expensive of the new churches in the Hokianga to be built by 1900. Today, it remains as one of the earliest churches still on its original site and is definitely a Hokianga destination worth making, as it sits on a promontory in clear sight for miles before reaching it.

Salmond Reed Architects have been advising and providing condition reports, specifications and managing repair and maintenance projects since 2007.
Current projects include the restoration of the Prow of the building and seismic upgrade and repairs of the canopy roof structure.
