Sign of the Takahe, Gothic manor house in Cashmere, New Zealand.

Sign of the Takahe is a neo-Gothic manor house located on Hackthorne Road featuring stone walls, medieval decorative details, and four open fireplaces inside. The building sits high on the surrounding hills and serves both as a cafe and event space.

Construction began in 1918 under Christchurch councillor and MP Henry George Ell, who planned it as the gateway rest house to the Summit Road and Port Hills. Part opened in 1920 as the Tram Terminus Rest House. Ell died in 1934 before completion; architect J. G. Collins continued the work, the council bought the building in 1942, and it was finished in 1948 and opened in 1949. Damaged in the February 2011 Canterbury earthquake, it was restored for NZ$2.8 million before its centennial in May 2017 and reopened in 2019.

The building takes its name from the takahē, an endemic New Zealand flightless bird. Its dining room fireplace is an exact replica of one at Haddon Hall in Derbyshire, and the entrance hall's heavy kauri beams were salvaged from a former bridge over the Hurunui River.

The building stands on the Port Hills above Christchurch, next to Cracroft Reserve, at the end of the Summit Road network begun by Harry Ell. It is reached by road up Hackthorne Road; the surrounding reserves are walked on foot. It reopened in 2019 after the council's NZ$2.8 million restoration.

The building is named after the takahē, a flightless bird endemic to New Zealand. During the Great Depression, builders cut costs by quarrying stone locally and hand-chiselling it with primitive tools; the kauri beams in the entrance hall were salvaged from a former bridge over the Hurunui River.
