Caccia Birch House Open Afternoons

Caccia Birch House

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!

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
