Caccia Birch House History Tour
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
Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
