Alberton is Re-opening on the 8th January 2022!

Rendell McIntosh from Alberton

Alberton is looking incredible after being freshly painted, and undergoing repairs to the roof and verandah joinery! We are very excited to be able to open our doors and welcome you back from Saturday 8th January!

Our ever popular Quince Jelly and Guava Jelly has just arrived in store from Zino’s Preserves, so make sure you come and get yours before they’re all gone! The guavas and quinces are all grown on site here at Alberton so they are truly homegrown.

All staff are fully vaccinated to help keep our communities safe and keep our heritage places accessible to as many as possible. Please be aware that all visitors (including children aged 12 years and 3 months or older) to the house and shop will be required to present their My Vaccine Pass for scanning upon arrival, as well as signing in using the Covid Tracer App or manual sign in sheets. A mask will need to be worn for the duration of your visit. Numbers will be limited inside the house and shop so you may need to wait before you can come in, providing the perfect opportunity to explore our wonderful gardens.

We will be operating with reduced opening hours of 10:30am – 4:00pm (last entry at 3:15pm), Wednesday – Sunday, to allow time for enhanced cleaning.

For more information on how our properties will operate under the Covid Protection Framework please visit www.visitheritage.co.nz...

From the team at Alberton, wishing you a very Meri Kirihimete, best wishes for the festive season and a Happy New Year!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
