Pah Homestead
The original 162ha property was purchased from Māori by early Auckland settler and land dealer William Hart in 1843. It was later sold to Thomas Russell in 1870, before James Williamson purchased it and built the Pah Homestead between 1877 and 1879 as his ‘gentleman’s residence’.
Rooms to Choose From
Whether you’re having an intimate or grand affair, the Pah Homestead has just the right room.
Outdoor Options
The Homestead itself remains largely as it was built, with almost all of its original door and window joinery, elaborate ceiling roses, parquet floors and marble fireplaces intact. At various times it has served as an orphanage, novitiate house, boarding school and, more recently, emergency housing. Auckland Council extensively restored and adapted the Homestead prior to its opening as the home of the Wallace Arts Centre and venue hire in August 2010.
