Celebrate summer at Signal Hill – Devonport’s historic gem

Nestled in the heart of Devonport, Signal Hill Bar and Eatery is more than just a dining destination – it’s a piece of living history.

Signal Hill is housed in the oldest existing home in Devonport, built around 1846 by early settler William Oliver. This iconic homestead has witnessed the transformation of Flagstaff (now Devonport) from a remote outpost into a thriving naval hub and today stands proudly at 24 Victoria Road, offering locals and visitors a unique blend of heritage and modern hospitality.

As the festive season approaches and summer days and evenings stretch out, Signal Hill is the perfect spot to relax, celebrate, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of Devonport. Whether you’re planning a casual catch-up, a family lunch, or a special occasion, Signal Hill's spaces cater to every mood. Dine in the elegant heritage dining room, enjoy the sunshine on our deck, or choose something light from our snack menu for lazy afternoons.

For intimate gatherings, the William Oliver Room seats eight comfortably and is available for free hire – ideal for private meetings, community groups, or family celebrations. It’s a little piece of history reserved just for you.

The menu celebrates classic New Zealand fare, crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Pair your meal with a fine wine, a handcrafted cocktail, or a refreshing summer spritz from Signal Hills' extensive drinks list. Coffee lovers will appreciate the partnership with Chiasso, the celebrated local roaster that shares our passion for quality.

This summer, Signal Hill is all about creating moments that matter for locals and visitors alike – from festive lunches to sunset drinks overlooking Devonport’s charming streets. Bring your friends, bring your family, and bring your appetite for good food and great company.
