Established in the 1800s as a 200-acre public reserve, the Auckland Domain has since expanded to 340 acres and has been used for everything from a testing ground for exotic fish and plant species to a campground for American troops during World War II.
The vast Domain’s lovely Edwardian gazebo, the Domain Bandstand (aka “the Rotunda”), is a pale yellow octagonal structure, set off by brown wood columns and railings. Above the dentils at the top, the thatch-like roof is topped by an onion-shaped ball. The city received the gazebo in 1912, when a prominent Auckland biscuit manufacturer presented it as a gift.
