McCahon House

A SIGNIFICANT SITE FOR NEW ZEALAND’S CONTEMPORARY ARTS. THE 1950s HOME OF McCAHON, WITH AN ADJACENT ARTISTS’ RESIDENCY.

Nestled deep in the coastal foothills of the Waitākare ranges, McCahon House embodies some of Auckland’s most vital historical narratives. It stands now—as it did for McCahon— as a place where art, society and the natural environment converge. The house retains the hand-tooled additions and innovations made by McCahon himself. As a vibrant example of New Zealand vernacular architecture (a bach), it’s a natural extension of his paintings.

67 Otitori Bay Road Titirangi Auckland

Open Wed–Sun 1–4pm or by appointment. Closed public holidays.
