Visit
That's not to say it is just a space of quietness and reflection—it is also a great place for activity and creativity. The historic buildings, which used to house the pioneering Corbans Winery, are now studios, workshops, offices and education spaces, while the grounds are a popular spot for walking or cycling, and regularly come alive for outdoor festivals, filmshoots and weddings.

The Arts Centre utilises the four historic buildings at Corban Estate: The Corban Family Homestead which houses the galleries upstairs and additional offices and a venue downstairs; The Winery Building where the arts education department and classrooms are situated along with the Opanuku Studio and many of the artists’ studios.
The Still Building, which includes the Barrel Store venue along with two sculptor’s studios. And the Garage which is home to the Waitakere Central Community Arts Council (WCCAC) and includes a meeting room.
In addition to the buildings on site, there are large, park-like green areas bounded by the Opanuku Stream, that are utilised for events and festivals. An arts bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, designed by sculptor Neil Miller, links the Corban Estate to Henderson Park.
