Ngaio Marsh House, Corner Sherwood Lane and Valley Road
A guided tour of Ngaio Marsh's house in Cashmere, looking at her life as a writer, dramatist and artist.
Dame Ngaio Marsh (1895–1982) was one of New Zealand's most remarkable and charismatic women. World-renowned as a leading crime fiction writer and as an eminent Shakespearian producer, her works still command international acclaim. Discover the family treasures and antiques she collected from around the world, see where her most famous works were composed and imagine the elegant parties in the Long Room. Her home remains much as she left it—as if she has simply stepped out momentarily and will soon return to take up her Waterman pen with its distinctive green ink.
Meet Barry Allom at the Ngaio Marsh House sign on the corner of Sherwood Lane and Valley Road at 1.50pm. Park in Valley Road or catch the no.12 bus.
