Hidden in the centre of a busy and fast-growing city lies an oasis of
calm, a picture-perfect house surrounded by lush, well-tended gardens.
Push open the wooden gate and find yourself transported to another
world, into a slice of living history carefully preserved for nearly two

The Elms Te Papa Tauranga is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most important
heritage sites, bearing witness to more than six hundred years of significant and
at times turbulent history. The Spirit of a Place is a captivating portrait of this
unique site and all the people who have made it their home.
