Parnell Heritage Walks - Ewelme Cottage

Step back in time and follow the journeys made by the people of Auckland's past with The Village Square Trust Heritage Walks. Take a stroll to the grounds of Ewelme Cottage and admire this fine example of an early Victorian colonist's cottage and garden.

Meet your guide Dianne Northcott outside the Jubilee Building, 545 Parnell Road. Explore Takutai Street where Bishop George Augustus Selwyn and his fellow missionaries used to tread, and stroll down Domain hill, once a site of flourishing kumara crops for local iwi. Led by experienced and knowledgeable local guides, there are six heritage walks to choose from.
