Manager from Caccia Birch House

Local History Week comes to an end this Sunday with an opportunity to explore Caccia Birch House. Palmerston North's very own category one Historic Homestead.

Great care has been taken in the restoration and development of Caccia Birch House and we encourage you to come along and enjoy this wonderful property and learn about the families who once resided at the house and the many uses made after it was gifted. The stunning rimu panelling and wonderful lagoon view have to be seen!
Chill out on our big lawn with a picnic amid the spring flowers and huge protected trees!
Photos included: During the Govenor General and his family were in residence 1908 - 1910, Hokowhitu Polo game (Strang Family early 1900's) and one from the 1950's during its convalescent home period.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
