    Well worth a visit. The history and stories are excellent. The house is unique and the grounds are lovely. They have cool market days too. Feels like stepping back in time.

    A very cool and amazing historical place to visit. Once one of the first farm lands in auckland. You can tour the house and see the amazing rooms and hidden secrets they built in. Also see the surrounding gardens that have markets once a month. A must visit and you can get a pass for the other historical houses in auckland

    What a beautiful house and grounds. Couldn't get over the fact it still had its original wallpaper 😲 blew my mind. The staff were extremely cool, friendly and informative. If you love old houses and history, then you will love this one

    Fans of Brokenwood Mysteries will recognise this gem of Auckland history. An interesting insight into the past and well worth the small entry fee.

    The Alberton House was built in 1863, very well-known in the late 19th century. People of the upper class held dance parties, garden parties and small concerts here. Many appliances and equipment used at that time are displayed in the house, and a few rooms still have the wallpaper used for interior decoration at that time.

    Always enjoy every visited to Alberton, been there to Christmas market, Enchanted walk & Farmer market. Great job for the group who do the maintenance on this heritage house. You can enjoy whole afternoon here, for afternoon tea (certain date only )or Just seated on grass n imagine how the life looks alike here in the old days. There’s a small souvenir shop inside, the staff there very helpful n friendly. Also selling NZ made local products n some vintage stuff there.

    Really enjoyed our visit. I had been on a school trip in the early 90s and always wanted to visit again. Our 10 year old also loved the visit, great window into the past.

    I visited this beautiful home on a Monday morning, so unfortunately, it wasn't open. The grounds are so beautifully well kept and the gardens are so fragrant and gorgeous, I will definitely be coming back to visit inside. Highly recommended!

    It was so interesting to come here and experience a Victorian home in the middle of Auckland! What I liked is how light and welcoming the place felt. A lot of homes like these feel spooky inside but everything here feels more museum like. Thank you for the experience Alberton.

    Gorgeous setting, ample parking, friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. This was an incredible walk through the past. Detailed information on the rooms, functions, and history of the home and families. An amazing maze of a mansion. Will definitely visit again.

    Interesting place to visit. Very quiet but with historical vibe. Sadly we went there during Covid. Would be lovely to have a cup of tea in their gorgeous courtyard.

  • 5/5 Vonette P. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful older Auckland home, well presented and maintained, which shares a way of life which is both fascinating and informative. I hope to return on another visit to Auckland. I have visited Highwic too.

    A great place to visit, to get a glimpse of what life was like back in the old days. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Tracy M. 1 year ago on Google
    I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I arrived at opening time and had a great introduction by one of the staff. Then we were free to roam the magnificent displays. The authentic heritage was so enjoyable to see. I felt that it wasn't over- dominated by 'don't touch' signs. The freedom we were given, to explore and enjoy was just right. The gardens were lovely too. It was well worth the $10 entry. The we gift shop had some great things for sale.

    Took a special "Behind the Ropes" tour, part of Auckland Heritage Festival. Most interesting. Lovely historic home.

    Time machine to 19 century, 10$ admission fee for an adult, friendly lady gave us a wee tour around the house. Nice garden for a picnic under old trees. We've spent 2hr on the dot to cover all 18 rooms and outside area.

    Great day out at Alberton House Market Day. Fabulous selection of artisan food stalls, and two simply dupurb singers entertaining the crowd. Good options for lunch or a snack, including scones and tea inside the house. The grounds and building are a pleasure to view, and well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Oscar B. 9 months ago on Google
    An amazing historical house, well run and well kept. The gardens are just as impressive as the interior. The indian style balcony looks absolutely beautiful, and the markets are always lovely.

👍👍 Wonderful place for the kids, with alot of safety measures taken but be ware it's not an enclosed park and it might be risky if the kids will run out to the road. But generally it's a fun place for the kids and an open space for the adults.

😠 I went 2-3 times to eat mahaparsad. But it has happened every time that after eating when we washed the dishes there was no dishwashing and we just clean with water and then they wipe with cloth to eat for next time. But dishes are not clean without soap. That’s not hygienic at all.

👍👍 Just 15min drive from the CBD and you feel like you’re in a tropical forest. Peaceful and quiet and the waterfall is really beautiful. There’s also a nice walk in the area.
