Caccia Birch House History Tour
Continuing the tour, the Nannestad room was named after the Nannestad family who built Caccia Birch House.
It used to be the drawing room, where ladies would take tea and entertain themselves with card games, embroidery and playing music.
The Nannestad room features a magnificent bay window overlooking the rose garden and Hokowhitu lagoon and a small conservatory leading out to the gardens.
It has recently been redecorated with beautiful wallpaper and dazzling chandelier - photos hardly do this stunning room justice!
Today, the Nannestad is one of Caccia Birch House’s most popular rooms, used for small meetings and very popular for wedding and cocktail functions.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Has the above ground pool had it but the pump still works? I would like to buy it from you for a reasonable price. Any size considered. Cheers
