Katherine Mansfield House & Garden

Often compared to Chekhov and Maupassant, Katherine Mansfield was one of NZ’s most distinguished authors, who pushed the short-story form to uncharted heights. Born in 1888, she died of tuberculosis in 1923 aged 34. This Tinakori Rd house is where she spent five years of her childhood. It now contains exhibits in her honour, including a biographical film. Guided tours by arrangement.
