Caccia Birch House History Tour

Caccia Birch House

In the next instalment of our tour we present the Strang room, named after the second owners of the house, the Strang family.

It used to be three separate rooms: the kitchen, pantry and scullery and underneath lies a small cellar, now sealed and unaccessible.

It is located on the west side of the house and has a brilliant view of the historic Coachhouse through large window panels.

This delightfully sunny room is also a popular room used today for conferences, workshops and the annual Caccia Birch House Bridal Fair as seen in the picture below

Poll: The fuel hurdle ... How are you navigating the Manawatū pump prices? 🏎️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We’ve all seen the warnings: fuel prices are surging toward heights we haven’t seen in years, with some projections suggesting we could hit the $4 mark soon. While the experts are saying "don't panic buy," it’s hard not to feel a bit of "pump shock" every time we fill up.

Keen to read more? The Manawatū Standard has you covered.

Given the impact on our local Manawatū economy and our own wallets, we want to know: Are you changing the way you get around the region?

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

(Trev from Tamatea kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Trev!)
