Pah Homestead - Arts House Trust

About

Pah Homestead is an 1870s Italianate mansion in Monte Cecilia Park, built for the Auckland businessman James Williamson and modelled loosely on Osborne House. It is a Category 1 historic place, and the 2010 restoration won a heritage award. It now houses The Arts House Trust, kaitiaki of one of the largest private collections of contemporary New Zealand art in the country. Exhibitions change through the year and entry is free, with a koha welcome. The Hill House Cafe operates on the verandah looking over the sculpture garden and across to One Tree Hill, and there is a gallery shop selling work by Aotearoa artists. It is wheelchair accessible throughout, with a ramp to the ground floor verandah and a lift to the first.
