Some lucky little person could soon be the recipient of a three-storey doll’s house made by blokes at the Cambridge Menzshed and furnished by Cambridge Resthaven resident Alison Hucke.

The miniature home is being raffled as a fundraiser by the Friends of Resthaven Foundation which fundraises for services, care options and aged-care education in Cambridge.
The doll’s house was made over several months by Menzshed members Peter Moore and Eric Hill. Its three stories are linked by sweeping staircases, its roof folds back to reveal an attic space, and the entire frontage opens outward to reveal numerous rooms.
Furnishing all that space has been Alison Hucke, who used to belong to a miniature club in Auckland back in the day. She has done several doll’s houses before this – some she even built herself – but this is by far the biggest. Her perfectly decorated lounge, kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and office area are filled with tiny pieces of furniture, many of which she has made from scratch.
