Alberton is Re-opening on the 8th January 2022!
Alberton is looking incredible after being freshly painted, and undergoing repairs to the roof and verandah joinery! We are very excited to be able to open our doors and welcome you back from Saturday 8th January!
Our ever popular Quince Jelly and Guava Jelly has just arrived in store from Zino’s Preserves, so make sure you come and get yours before they’re all gone! The guavas and quinces are all grown on site here at Alberton so they are truly homegrown.
All staff are fully vaccinated to help keep our communities safe and keep our heritage places accessible to as many as possible. Please be aware that all visitors (including children aged 12 years and 3 months or older) to the house and shop will be required to present their My Vaccine Pass for scanning upon arrival, as well as signing in using the Covid Tracer App or manual sign in sheets. A mask will need to be worn for the duration of your visit. Numbers will be limited inside the house and shop so you may need to wait before you can come in, providing the perfect opportunity to explore our wonderful gardens.
We will be operating with reduced opening hours of 10:30am – 4:00pm (last entry at 3:15pm), Wednesday – Sunday, to allow time for enhanced cleaning.
For more information on how our properties will operate under the Covid Protection Framework please visit www.visitheritage.co.nz...
From the team at Alberton, wishing you a very Meri Kirihimete, best wishes for the festive season and a Happy New Year!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
