This house has been a part of Chrissy Conyngham’s life for decades. She was 19 when she first visited for a party and, becoming friends with the owners, returned for many more gatherings.
For a while it was a boutique bed and breakfast, popular with celebrities visiting New Zealand. In the years that followed more of Chrissy’s friends owned and rented the property and she recalls plenty of good times at engagement parties, 21sts and wedding celebrations.
“It’s a very happy house and it’s got lots of great memories,” says Chrissy, who is now busy making new memories with her own family in the spacious 1920s bungalow in Auckland’s Remuera. “We’ve only lived here for a year but it seems like forever. It feels as if it was meant to be our home.” The house features in the NZ House & Garden house tour on April 6.
