The Government House in Auckland, New Zealand was gifted to the Crown in 1962 by Sir Frank Mappin, the last Mappin baronet, where Sir Frank and his wife had lived for 45 years. Originally, the land was built upon in the late 19th Century and on coming into Sir Frank's possession in 1921, its landscape was developed and the residence was built upon it and was named Birchlands. The house is smaller in size when compared to the Wellington House, suitable only as a family residence. The reigning British monarch is resident in the House during any visits. The garden of the House has been designated as a "Garden of National Significance", a status awarded by the New Zealand Gardens Trust. The house is open to public in the month of December and special tour is available by prior appointment.

It is covered with military remains dating from pre-European times to the World War II era. Tunnels link many of the gun emplacements built during World War II. A few big guns still remain. Allow a couple of hours to walk from the Devonport ferry landing to the top of North Head and enjoy the panoramic vista.
