About Pt Chevalier Homestead Community House and Church

Pt Chevalier Homestead is a community house and church at 92 Point Chevalier Road, in the heart of Point Chevalier, Auckland. It is run by the Point Chevalier Co-operating Parish, a friendly multi-ethnic and multi-cultural church. Sunday services are at 10:30 am and are live-streamed on Facebook. The building has meeting rooms of different sizes, a graded kitchen and an op shop. Up to five spaces, or the whole venue, can be hired for events, with technology and supplies available too. The homestead began in the 1880s, and the current building was completed in December 2015 as a replica of the original on the same footprint. The website says the Community House receives over 20,000 visits each year.

The op shop has been run by volunteers since the 1990s, selling good-quality, low-cost clothing and other goods. Customers say it is affordable compared with other shops in the area, with a good range of clothing and many items priced at $10 or under. One visitor praises a free bin at the front and a fill-a-bag system. Another says the manager knows how to price for the community. A market runs on Saturdays, and a reviewer mentions laughter yoga at 10 am on Saturdays. For a group that needs a room in Point Chevalier, or a bargain run through the op shop, it is a practical place to go.
