Come along and experience the beautiful handcrafted rimu timber paneling and elegant chandeliers along with the extensive history of the property.
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.
Bring the whole family, relax on the lawn with a picnic and enjoy the summer sunshine and gorgeous array of plants and flowers in our gardens.
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! See you there!

Stolen Pot plants
Last week on my return from a few days away a green 33cm shrub tub of petunias was missing from the front of my garage,
Today a 39cm terracotta tub of orange pansies and a 33cm shrub of pansies was mmissing from alongise my driveway in Fairs Road.
I have reported these losses to the police.
Should anyone notice that neighbours suddenly have pots or tubs of flowers, either call the police or ask them to return them. They know where they got them.
