KAVHA is outstanding for its views across the site, within the site, from the
site to the seascape, and views of the site in its landscape setting.

KAVHA was the landing place of the Pitcairn Islanders in 1856. Their
descendents today comprise nearly a third of Norfolk Island's population.
They value KAVHA as a place of special significance because it has been
continually and actively used as a place of residence, work, worship and
recreation.

KAVHA is valued by the Norfolk Island residents for being a place of
traditional and ongoing uses, including the continuity of a working waterfront
at the Landing Pier; the centre of Norfolk Island administration; continuing
religious worship at All Saints Church and the community's burial place at the
cemetery; areas for recreation and sports; and as the cultural centre with
cultural and social events, museums and archaeological sites.
