Hillsborough

Hillsborough was named after Auckland's first Postmaster James Carlton Hill who left land to the City in 1858. The local Monte Cecilia Park has been used in films such as the The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Lucy.

Shoppers have the local areas of Onehunga and Three Kings to explore and when out for a more relaxing day trip a visit to the Pah Homestead which opened to the public as the TSB Bank Wallace Arts Centre on 15 August, 2010, will not disappoint.
