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!
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
