To say that I love Katherine is quite an understatement, tbh , ive lived and loved with her my entire lifes, even in France , it appears I followed in some of her footsteps, for the all too brief 2 years i lived there, breathed her Air, i kind of understood her from a very very early age, and so to visit the KM house was an absolute delight seriously gorgeous

A trip down memory lane for this one as I used to live at KM's house. It's well restored and a good representation of life back then. A worthwhile visit.

Staff friendly and informative. Wonderful timeline story of Katherine Mansfield's life with photos. This would interest Adults and children. Rooms dressed perfectly for period. A must to visit!

We decide to take the bus into Wellington. Find the bus stop, but the bus is a tad late. The driver suggests we buy a special ticket will give us our return journeys as well for less than the cost of the two separate journeys. I follow the bus route on google maps. I announce we need to get off. R rather dubious cos it is not that likely an area. After a false start we find the house. There’s no sign outside, so we reckon we are not entirely to blame. We pay our entry fees and walk around the house where Katherine Mansfield lived until she was about five. Not all the furniture is the family’s, but it is all very reminiscent of a 19th century house. At the end of our self-guided tour, R asks the custodian a few questions. The desk in one of the bedrooms is Katherine Mansfield’s. We, and a lady from Edinburgh with her daughter, are then shown an embroidered Russian jacket that belonged to Katherine Mansfield. The embroidery is used on bookmarks and other items for sale. We are shown a book which shows Katherine Mansfield’s Russian friend wearing a very similar jacket. R announces the whole thing “charming”

Excellent insight into wealthy life at the turn of last century. Talented author who died too young.

It was not planned visit but I enjoyed the house. There is an entry fee that made me slightly contemplating but overall the place was nice to visit, especially if you like her writing.

A well displayed exhibit of the life as it was in her writing days
