Caccia Birch House Open Afternoons
Missed out in August?
Historic Caccia Birch House in Hokowhitu, Palmerston North is open for viewing on some Sunday afternoons in October so come along and experience the beautiful handcrafted rimu timber panelling and elegant chandeliers along with the extensive history of the property.
We will be open on the following days at these times:
Sunday 6th October 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Sunday 13th October 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Sunday 20th October 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Sunday 27th October 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Explore the house and gardens, learn about the past owners and how the house was rescued from dereliction and destruction in the eighties by PNCC and many supporters. Then brought back to life in the nineties to become a thriving venue with stories of the past to tell.
The Coach House will be open, displaying the history archives throughout the old stables.
This is also a good time to view the venue if you are planning on holding a wedding or function. Feel free to approach our friendly staff for a chat or pick up one of the brochures from the foyer that contain all information on making a booking.
Extensive care has been put into the preservation of the buildings - so we love to share the experience of yesteryear with visitors.
We are open to the public and entry is free!
We look forward to seeing you there!

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
