About

Built in 1903, the Riccarton Tea House is one of New Zealand’s original teahouses. Recognised as a heritage building, its historical significance is enriched by its vibrant social past. In the Edwardian era, thousands of ladies gathered here for race day festivities, and over the years, it has served as a dance hall, a dormitory for soldiers, and even a makeshift hospital. Today, it stands proudly overlooking a formal lawn and curated gardens, retaining its timeless charm with elegant verandas and a distinctive turreted roofline. The Teahouse provides a truly unique setting for celebrating life’s special moments, offering a refined and memorable space for events of all kinds
