Cuningham House
Cuningham House was opened in 1923 as a result of a bequest by Mr G A C Cuningham. It is a large, stately structure of architectural importance and is listed with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. A spacious staircase leads to a large peripheral gallery where an extensive collection of tropical plants are displayed. Both upper and lower Cuningham House share collections including Dieffenbachia, Peperomia, Hoya, Anthurium and Dracaena. |
