Stroll through the beautiful gardens and grounds, enjoying the spring flowers and birds and wonderful views over Hokowhitu Lagoon.
The Coach House will be open, displaying the history archives throughout the old stables.
Feel free to bring along a picnic and settle on the large lawn out the front of the house, chill out and enjoy the ambiance - and hopefully some sunshine!
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!
