Very informative and interesting tour. If you are going for a quick look around the house this is not for you. You can enter only by guided tours in the house, one every hour. In the majority of rooms, you are greeted and showed by a different guided. The staff was friendly and cognisant. The house is immense with 3 floors and a cave. You will discover not only about the life of Hardmans family and photography, but also about life around 1950s. With so much rooms with different uses, styles and tour guided it is not boring at all, it seemed as one of the quickest guided tour I had. If I remember well, they have more than 10k photos however few are exposed. I saw the Pet Gallery which was super cute (13 march 2020).

A great story about the Hardman's and a fascinating insight into their lives. A plethora of guides ensured that the story was not dull The rooms were interesting. With the new grant, the story will get better. No flash photography is allowed. Entry by timed tour might make it difficult to get in during busy periods so book as early as possible. A stone's throw from the Anglican Cathedral and a walk along Rodney Street completes the visit. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will go back.
