Heather greeted us with a warm cup of tea and a friendly chat whilst waiting for the rest of the visitors to arrive. Really informative guide, little gem like stories and relaxing tone. Language was easygoing yet informative. Lucky to have access to such a beautiful house and grounds.

I went 23 primary school children."It was amazing", "I loved the massive, green lawns", "The carvings and Art was cool", "the chandeliers in the Ballroom were amazing". These were comments from the children. We had an amazing tour guide. Well worth visiting if you get a chance

First timer to Government House despite being a local. It is a free tour and you can book online to see the grounds and house that the Governor General lives in. Guide was very knowledgeable. The house has a lot of NZ art and gifts from other countries. Well worth a visit.

The house is fantastic and Heather is the ideal guide - friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and light-hearted. As Heather said it's our house as NZ'ers and we do feel welcome. The tour was almost two hours but it didn't feel long. It was the highlight of our Wellington trip during the...
