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.
