The place itself is a huge vintage building where all the art is exhibited, showcasing unique pieces with stories behind them. It totally relies on donations so there is no entry fee. They hold competitions for the artwork they exhibit so voting for your favorite piece is encouraged. Once you are done viewing the art pieces inside, you can either grab a snack on the ground floor or visit the numerous stalls outside selling a wide range of stuff from clothing, jewelry, art and craft, and much more. It's a lovely place to spend time with family walking around its huge property. So strongly suggest a visit.
Beautiful building and park. A hidden gem. It should deserves more attention and care!
Unfortunately the maintenance and cleaning are Kiwi style. 😕
Great location and outlook. Hot food options are all pretty good. The cabinet food is excellent and made on site. Staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit.
Awesome public place to enjoy. Art gallery indoor + outdoor. A small cafe and a huge park to walk and enjoy giant native trees in. The path is gravel but in good condition, considering we have been having huge amounts of rain recently. The huge trees made for nice walking, though there is a couple of steep hills. Medium level of fitness required in the park.
I like this place, enjoy the Sunday market and I sound beautiful song in here ~
Beautiful place to visit on the weekend with your friends and family. Have a look at the local art work and listen to an occasional concert on the weekend. Bring your dog along to a lovely cafe with the spacious outdoor seating area, grab a cup of coffee and listen to the birds singing in the trees.
Great space, not alot of info on arrival. Cafe sign indicates the entrance. No info seen re program or 'whats on'. I wandered in and enjoyed the spaces available to see some great exhibits. Cafe has great food and options to sit outside w great views. Small gift shop.
I've been past here I few times, not knowing there was one of Auckland's treasures just set back from the road. The art and history side of this place is interesting, and the cafe serves great coffee and cakes.
A must see heritage locale to better understand the beauty of the New Zealand story. Onlooking ONE TREE HILL, overlooking Onehunga, Mangere Mountain and the Manukau hub. It's not hard to understand why historians speculate the Pah homestead to be the birthplace of the Treaty of Waitangi, as colonial and native truly prospered here symbiotically alike.
Living history, preserved for the public, celebrating New Zealands world famous art culture with the Wallace Arts Centre, the vast site captures colonial life like a moment frozen in time, boasting its many features such as native Wetlands, international tree forest, and original horse drawn tracks.
Brilliant. lovely park , views , cafe , art , setting ...A gem....Update Jan 2020, still fantastic grounds, displays, photos etc, feel like the cafe is a letdown, bored, young, disinterested staff who hardly as was the case today look up at you to take your order. Latte was not even lukewarm.They are closed Monday btw. Staff in guest shop consistently pleasant!
