Reviews of Katherine Mansfield House & Garden
J.
Very interesting and they have a lot of information on Katherine Mansfield for visitors to read.
F.
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 😍
B.
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.
S.
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”
P.
Interesting and well worth a visit. Will read more of her work. Thank goodness for people who preserve places like this.
R.
KMHG is an incredibly well designed and fascinating glimse of the past
S.
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!
C.
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.
P.
This is a great treat and a wonderful example of early colonial living in Wellington. It reminds me of National Trust sites in the UK and is a really charming place with fascinating history even if you're not too aware of Katherine Mansfield.
H.
I was full of hope to see the house where one of NZ'S famous writers grew up. Hope was dashed. It had closed the day before for renovation. It will not open again until late August. Oh well, something to do the next time I'm in Wellington.
S.
The childhood home of KM restored faithfully in late 19th / early 20th century style. The video biography of KM is well worth viewing. Highly recommended. Has inspired me to read her work.
b.
Excellent insight into wealthy life at the turn of last century. Talented author who died too young.
C.
Such a great place with excellent helpful staff.
W.
Very good incite into the environment of her early years and then concludes in the last room upstairs with a documentary of her life. Well worth a visit.
M.
Nice place to visit even if you don't know closer Katherine Mansfield. Love old interiors but I was disappointed a bit about space upstairs - half of it was closed for visitors.
M.
Interesting house and the notes were useful. Would have been great if all the rooms were open to the public but they were being worked on.
L.
A lovely bit of Wellington history. A great place to visit if you love Katherine Mansfield stories.
N.
Loved all the history surrounding her life & everything about her house. Beautifully restored.
A.
An amazing step back in time. Sadly closed for Winter 2019 but looking forward to seeing the renewal.
J.
A well displayed exhibit of the life as it was in her writing days
D.
