Historic Caccia Birch House in Hokowhitu, Palmerston North is open for viewing on some Sunday afternoons, so come along and experience the beautiful handcrafted rimu timber panelling and elegant chandeliers along with the extensive history of the property.

Dates and Times will be:
Sunday 28th July 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Sunday 4th August 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Sunday 11th August 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Sunday 18th August 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! There will also have some unique entertainment on these afternoons, follow us on Facebook to keep up-to-date.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The Government has proposed a sweeping fuel-efficient vehicle policy that would make some cars up to $8000 cheaper - while others would be $3000 more expensive.

The "feebate" scheme wouldn't cost the taxpayer anything, instead using money gained by putting a fee on imported high-emissions cars in order to make imported hybrids, electric cars, and other efficient vehicles cheaper with a subsidy.
