High Tea at Hill House Cafe
​
Where art meets indulgence — experience high tea inside the historic Pah Homestead, a grand Italianate mansion surrounded by sculpture gardens and sweeping views of Monte Cecilia Park.
​
Hill House Café brings a creative twist to tradition with a high tea that blends artistic flair and rustic charm. Each tier is carefully crafted by our bakers’ wild imaginations — from delectable savouries and insanely good scones (because what’s a high tea without them?) to our own artisanal Farm House gelato or sorbet, made exclusively for Hill House by our sister café, Farm House Clevedon.
​
Our gelato is designed to complement each season’s menu, infusing a little countryside magic into the city. The finishing touch? A showcase of sweets so stunning, they could belong in the gallery next door — each one a feast for the eyes and a moment of pure, unforgettable indulgence.

Our
Story
Hill House Café is where art, history, and hospitality meet. Set within the grand Pah Homestead — a historic Italianate mansion overlooking the lush grounds of Monte Cecilia Park — our café brings warmth, creativity, and community into one of Auckland’s most treasured landmarks.
​
What began as a small 20-seat café at Nathan Homestead has grown into something truly special. Today, Hill House is a vibrant hub where locals, artists, and visitors come together to share beautiful food, laughter, and moments that linger long after the last coffee cup is cleared.
​
Our team takes pride in crafting dishes that are as thoughtful as they are delicious — inspired by seasonal produce, playful presentation, and a genuine love for connection. Together with our sister café, Farm House Clevedon, we’re proud to create spaces that celebrate people, place, and the art of good food.
