Poll: Have you ever visited Hockin House?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Future ownership of Hamilton’s historic Hockin House beside Waikato Hospital is up in the air, with potential for it and ongoing costs to end up in the city council’s hands.

The heritage-listed and “very special” Hockin House, built in 1893, is a late Victorian era dwelling that was the residence of the first four superintendents of the hospital.

The Baker Tīrau has created what might be New Zealand's most luxurious, and expensive, take on a Kiwi classic steak and cheese pie and is auctioning it off for a good cause.

Made with wagyu beef, French red wine, the most expensive cheese he could get his hands on, and topped with 23-carat gold flakes, award-winning baker Shane Kearns is auctioning off his unique steak and cheese pie to raise funds for local volunteer fire-fighters.
