"The tour was excellent - finally seeing the cottage was my favourite part, but the description of what was done, how it was done and why was very good. Loved the video too." - Marjorie

"My favourite part was; integrating new design in an old dwelling in particular the sash windows, learning the history of the property and, how you have stayed true to the workers cottage history" - Abbie

"Amazing restoration, thank you very much for the tour and your generosity in opening your home to Christchurch. Everything was handled very professionally yet with a very friendly personal touch" - Kylie

We opened the blue 'Disney' door of 250 Kilmore to residents for the first time as part of the Christchurch City Council 2023 Heritage Festival. Almost fifty people were taken on one of seven, 45 minute guided tours.

We were grateful to share the story to an interested audience, humbled to receive such affirming feedback and look forward to opening the door again in 2024. Register your interest to attend👉 https://250kilmore.com/2023-open-day

❤️💙"The tour was excellent and so interesting. We both thought that 250 was beautiful finished product and fitting to 2023 with modern convenience but the heritage charm" - Kaye & Shane

❤️💙"Process of restoration very interesting. Wonderful to see." -Alison

❤️💙"I enjoyed the whole tour. Seeing the interior was a real 'wow' for me, and I liked the fact that we didn't go inside immediately. I enjoyed hearing the story of the house...the time-lapse is amazing." - David

❤️💙"Amazing restoration, thank you very much for the tour and your generosity in opening your home to Christchurch. Everything was handled very professionally yet with a very friendly personal touch" - Kylie

❤️💙"Loved our tour, it was excellent. As soon as we walked through the front gate you made us feel so welcome and from the introductions we each made I knew we were with fellow old house enthusiasts. You made the tour so interesting and informative and by the end when we were sitting down I felt so at home I thought a cup of tea and a chat with you and our fellow tour members would have topped it off!! I know you had the next tour waiting to start so just dreaming haha. Definitely a special place so glad you saved her. " - Christine & Margo
