Melanesian Mission House

The Melanesian Mission House, located in Mission Bay, Auckland, is a historic Tudor Revival building constructed in 1859 from local basalt. Originally part of St Andrew's College, it served as an educational institution for Melanesians, providing Anglican education and agricultural training. Over the years, it transitioned through various uses, including a naval training school and a museum showcasing South Sea Island artifacts. Now owned by Heritage New Zealand, the building has been restored and operates as a restaurant, offering visitors a glimpse into its rich history and architectural significance, set against the backdrop of Auckland's scenic waterfront.
