When the house was built around 1853 it was at No 1 Victoria Street and later changed to No 1 Ivy Street as we know it today. This section of land was sold off by the Grey institute to provide an income for the school. Registration of property back then could take years and thus the date of transfer does not necessary indicate the year of purchase. According to historians it was not compulsory to report a death at the time, and often deaths are reported years later to wound up estates, or that the widow might have been about to marry again. When Trinity Cottage was sold in 2007, the owner Louisa Billson a descendant of the 1820 Settlers, sold the house with the antiques, historical artefacts and family heirlooms, which are still in the house for our guests to enjoy and have the opportunity to experience the charm and beauty of a bygone era. The history of the house is available to our guests in a file for their perusal. ACCREDITATIONS
