Our Story
family recipes baked in tradition
Aotea was created in the kitchen of Wallceville House, Upper Hutt, New Zealand over 30 years ago. Here the Mahoney family established a hospitality, corporate function centre and wedding venue, it was our much loved home and business for many years. Wallaceville House still operates to this day. We used our interest and passion in food, matched with our traditional family recipes, made from the best New Zealand natural ingredients to inspire everything under the Aotea Banner.
We also stock an amazing range of pan crafted confectionery produced in America and made from fair trade cocoa, it is our pleasure to offer Marich confectionery to you throughout New Zealand.
Our online store aims to bring you our fine foods in an easy and efficient manner. If you have a special request, do email through and we can put an order together for you over the phone or by email. You will also find us at 62 Brown Street in vibrant Ponsonby, with an open door.
