    Inside the renovated Saatchi & Saatchi building is a nice little café. The Strand Café, Just to go into this building is worth your time. There are several business resident here, and the dining area / foyet area in the very middle of the building is so perfect for meeting people and just taking in the ambience.

    If you love colour then this is the place to go. They are just around the corner from Parnell and as well as roses there are many mature trees. The roses are mainly modern with over 4500 rose bushes. From late Spring to early Autumn the rose bushes will be at their best so that is the time to go. Admission is Free and the gardens are open dawn till dusk daily. You can also walk from the Rose Gardens down into Judges Bay (best when the tide is in.

    At the other end of Parnell you will find Judges Bay. The Bay has now been cut off from the water by the road, creating a salt water "lake" which is still used for swiming on a regular basis. Just opposite the Parnell Rose Gardens is another Reserve with this lovely church which is affiliated to the main Anglican Cathedral just up the road. There is plenty of open space to picnic on (great during the summer) without crowding too close to the church

    St Stephens Chapel overlooks Judges Bay and was one of the first Gothic Revival churches commissioned by Bishop Selwyn. Again designed by Frederick Thatcher, it features the same characteristic board and batten exterior walls, shingle roof and exposed internal truss work as does Bishopcourt. The chapel was built in 1857 and has a Greek Cross plan. It was originally built for the signing of the Constitution of the United Church of England and Ireland in New Zealand.

    The library of Bishop Selwyn was the first part to be built of the Bishopscourt complex in 1861. The designer Frederick Thatcher incorporated a Gothic Revival style which was chosen by the Bishop himself as being appropriate for ecclesiastical buildings. The Library and the Belfry front onto St Stephens Ave.

    This building is a replacement for the original Jubilee Institute for the Blind which burned down in 1897. Built between 1907 and 1909, the institute was originally established as an old boarding house in Parnell before the more permanent school was built on this site in 1891 with money set up to celebrate the Jubilee of Queen Victoria. In 1926 additions were added for adult accommodation, a shop, workshops and a women’s dormitory. The building now an Auckland City community centre and library.

    St Mary’s was moved to this site in 1982. Formerly it sat across the road. This is the second cathedral to be constructed after the first was proven to be too small. Benjamin Mountfort who was a Christchurch architect was appointed in 1885 to design the new cathedral and chose a Gothic Revival exterior with vertical board and battens and a slate roof.

    The Auckland Cathedral of the Holy Trinity is quite an impressive building on Parnell Road. It is the centre for the Anglican Church in Auckland as well as for the Parish of Parnell. There are free guided tours at 2.30pm daily although donations are welcome. The Cathedral was dedicated as an Ecumenical Cathedral of Hope in the early 1990’s with 8 denominations committed. Sunday Communion is held at 8.00am and 9.30am and Evenson at 5.00pm.

    The Rose Gardens provide a great view of the harbour. Sloping down above Judges Bay, the gardens contain some 4,500 roses. Occasional outdoor concerts are held during the summer months. There are many old trees and pleasant paths to wander and just enjoy the scent of the roses.

    Bishopcourt was the residence of Bishop Selwyn and his successors and it was built somewhere between 1863 when it was started and 1866 when the building was finally paid for. Originally on the property was also Bishop Selwyn’s private chapel ‘St Barnabas’, which was later moved to the grounds of the Auckland Diocesan Girls School. The name Bishopcourt has now been changed to Selwyn Court. The complex has characteristic vertical board and batten walls with a shingle roofing.
