Hutt Minoh Friendship House
Exclusive to Carolyn J Limited
Originally known as Norbury, this beautifully restored heritage building was built in 1904 for the society wedding of Alice Fitzherbert, daughter of Lower Hutt's first Mayor William Albert Fitzherbert, to Professor George von Zedlitz, a German baron by birth, who became the first professor of modern languages at Victoria College (now Victoria University), Wellington.
Completely refurbished in 1999, Hutt Minoh Friendship House is set in peaceful Japanese-inspired gardens overlooking the Lower Hutt city centre, and is registered as Category 1 building by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust in recognition of its historical significance.
Small conferences and seminars can be held in the downstairs function areas of this unique and secluded venue. Contact Carolyn for further information.
