Hi everyone,
With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

Once they’re established, it’s almost impossible to remove them and the pests can squeeze the life out of our most precious rivers and lakes. We all need to do our bit to protect waterways by always checking, cleaning, then drying any equipment that comes into contact with the water, between every waterway, every time.

- Week one - Tuesday 5 Jan through to Friday 8 Jan, 11am - 3pm each day.
- Week two - Monday 11Jan through to Friday 15 Jan, 11am - 3pm each day.

Pack a picnic and fold up the picnic blanket before heading to Caccia Birch House.

After chilling out on the lawn among the Tui and the Kererū come into Palmerston Norths' Listed Category 1 Historic Homestead to marvel in the Heritage features including the handcrafted rimu timber paneling and amazing four-metre high ceilings.

If interested in the history, the Coach House Archive will also be open with displays on the history, past owners and how the house was rescued from dereliction and destruction in the eighties and brought back to life in the nineties.

If you are planning on holding a wedding or a special event, feel free to approach our friendly staff for a chat or pick up one of our brochures from the foyer.

Extensive care has gone into the preservation of the buildings and gardens - so we love to share the experience of yesteryear with visitors, we look forward to seeing you here.
