The Groves is a collection of simple buildings, designed well.

Within the community are 3 different types of homes catering to investors, families and young professionals. Each terraced home comes with a private back yard and each home comes with car parking and a private outdoor, green space, which flows out from the living room.

The forms and materials used to create The Groves hark back to the original West Auckland horticultural land uses. Inspired by glasshouses and simple farm buildings, you can see this reflected in the roof forms and materials used.

Matvin has a long history of building commercial developments, which has allowed us to use more robust and permanent materials in each home.

The opportunity for a preview of their tasting, features at the New Zealand School of Food and Wine, on Sunday 28 July heightens the anticipation of what will be a fascinating event.

Pegasus Bay, from Waipara in North Canterbury, released its first Riesling in 1993 and today its grapes are sourced primarily from un-grafted vineyards planted over 30 years ago. Edward Donaldson also believes that while ripe fruits dominate the wine when young, given the opportunity to age, the rieslings can feel drier on the palate especially as they develop more savoury, caramel and tertiary notes.

The New Zealand Wine and Food Event is an annual three-day public event in Auckland comprising a showcase of New Zealand and international wine, cooking workshops and master classes.

Where do I BUY firewood (that's not from warehouse or supermarket)

Jonni from Northcross

Hi there, I would love to buy or find some free firewood.
I've got lots of pallets but they are burning too fast for so much effort to cut up with a hand saw.
Wet or dry doesn't matter, happy to come cut or collect myself.
Anyone selling any or know of any contacts to get some … View more
