Rob Roy Plaza – Wai-atarau
Auckland’s newest inner-city open space will be called Wai-atarau Plaza.
It’s the open space plaza in front of the Freemans Bay Rob Roy Tavern formerly the Birdcage which was moved twice during the recent construction of the Victoria St tunnel.
The site marks the original foreshore of Freemans Bay, known as Wai-atarau, which means ‘place of reflecting waters. The Government through the NZTA now owns the heritage 1886-built Rob Roy Hotel that marks the original foreshore of Freemans Bay, a busy port and hub of industry before the bay was reclaimed in the early 1900s. It is one of only a handful of 19th Century waterfront pubs left in Auckland.
