Government House Auckland was gifted to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in 1969, by Sir Frank and Lady Mappin. The house sits on extensive grounds on the lower slopes of Mount Eden, and is renowned for the stunning horticultural variety on display. Magnificent specimen trees, ancient lava flows, sweeping lawns, bush tracks and tranquil vistas make this a very special place to visit.
If you would like to visit the gardens, tours can be arranged by contacting the Government House Wellington Visitor Centre: [email protected]
