I'm a Petone resident and I just love it here!! I was at Petone Settlers Museum today with my 9 year old learning about our town's history for her school project, and the story of this house was a wonderful feature! I've always been fascinated by the history of it. Would love to have a walk through one day!!

The house is in Petone, 66 Sydney Street. This was our house at the time. In the street party at the end, I saw my dad standing around, and quite a few old family friends milling about, and my brother and sister playing on the rides.

How many episodes were there of this programme? I remember an episode with a little girl in the background playing with toys in like a doctors office? Does that ring a bell for anyone?

Where is this House? I remember this programme. I use to watch it when I was 15 back in the 80s. I got hooked on it because they use to play a lot of Herbs songs on it. Should play the whole series on tv again. It's not fair to have to watch friends episodes over and over again for the umpteenth time or Shortland St replays. You can't escape Shorty st if you tried because they play it morning night and weekends omnibus. Play Open House instead and let NZ watch some real kiwis that they can relate too. And where bouts is this House David? I want a photo lol
