Gear Homestead ‘Okowai’ is a historic building in Porirua, New Zealand. It was listed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust as a Category 2 historic place in 1983. Gear Homestead is significant because of its association with James Gear, a butcher who founded the Gear Meat Preserving and Freezing Company. The company was one of the largest employers in Wellington and also played a large part in the development of Petone.
Gear Homestead is now a lovely restaurant known as Gear Eatery & Bar. Make sure you try one of their famous scones or coffees! Eat in or take out; the choice is yours! Enjoy the summer weather from the brand new, purpose-built deck, and enjoy all the classics done well, along with the best in coffee, craft beer, wine and cocktails.
