Coach House

Only a short walk into the centre of Feilding we were most impressed by our accommodation for the next couple of nights.

We were lucky enough to receive a personal viewing of all the Feilding archives that are stored in the building.  Not normally open to the public we felt privileged to be shown through.

All the records are stored in a strict temperature controlled environment.  The humidity is controlled to protect the old records dating back into the 1800’s to prevent deterioration.
