An octagonal wooden tower, standing 6 meters tall, was constructed in 1878 to serve Lyttelton Harbour. This structure features a lantern and gallery, and emits a single green flash every second. Its focal height is also 6 meters. The lighthouse is situated on Gladstone Quay, just 0.2 kilometers from the nearest port facilities. This aid to navigation has a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. While the site is accessible, the tower itself is not open to the public.
