Devonport

The commercial area on lower Victoria Road was first established in response to the new ferry service that connected Devonport with the city in the 1860s. 20 Years on Victoria Road had become the leading commercial centre of the North Shore and by the 1920s it was lined with fine Victorian and Edwardian commercial premises. Today Victoria Road has one of the most intact collections of Victorian and Edwardian commercial buildings in Auckland and several have been listed by Heritage New Zealand.

Devonport is fortunate to boast adorable boutique shops, high-end fashion retailers, gift and homewares. It’s not only the retail offer that makes Devonport village unique. With a lively and active café scene and diverse range of eateries, dining in Devonport is consistently relaxed and enjoyable.
