This is one of Nelson’s oldest dwellings. Today it’s mostly used as an exhibition house and a place to host events. The Samuel Rose Garden, holding about 3000 beautiful plants over 560 varieties is housed here. It’s also a spot from where some of Nelson’s heritage walks can be started. These include the Rose Walk, Saunter in the Stoke, Settlement in Stoke, and the Isel Park Walk. During school holidays the House organises some fun Children’s Programmes which may include activities such as colonial costuming and treasure hunting. The inside of the house itself is preserved as thing used to be in the 1850’s, offering a rare glimpse into Nelson life in those times.
