Auckland’s most romantic timber mansion has an extensive collection of original artefacts and a gorgeous heritage garden.

Beginning life as a farmhouse in 1863, Alberton was later expanded to eighteen rooms with a strongly Indian-influenced theme in the decorative verandas and towers.

Famous in the latter part of the 19th century for its balls, hunts, garden parties and musical occasions, Alberton today is renowned as one of the best places to experience authentic, gracious colonial living in New Zealand.
