This boutique hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to combine a healthy and diverse lifestyle with an interesting and profitable business which naturally scales down during winter, allowing for a holiday.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.

Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.

A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.

This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.

Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

Don’t want to pay for roaming when you are travelling overseas🙅‍♀️📱?

Get a foreign sim card if your phones are already “unlocked" - speak to an expert if you are not too sure. Even if your phone isn’t, you can unlock it easily before your trip. Once your phone’s unlocked, you can buy a temporary sim card (usually valid for a shorter period of time with preloaded plans) from pretty much any destination country’s airport and enjoy the same cheap internet plan like a local!

Ola taxi drivers in Auckland will be decorating their vehicles in colourful displays of lights, flowers and bling to coincide with this weekends' Diwali celebrations.

Brian from New Lynn

Diwali - the festival of light - is officially celebrated on October 27, but this year events are being held in Auckland this weekend on October 12 and 13. Crowds of up to 50,000 people are expected over the two days of celebration, which will centre around Aotea Square in the CBD.

Crowds of up to 50,000 people are expected over the two days of celebration, which will centre around Aotea Square in the CBD. Ola driver Bankim Patel, of Avondale, immigrated to Auckland from Gujarat, India 17 years ago, and says decorating his car is a fun way to celebrate his culture. "In India – everything is lit up for Diwali, from houses to temples and shops. It’s like Christmas for us," Mr Patel said. "Adding colourful lights to my car is a way to share a little of the festival mood and party atmosphere of Diwali with my passengers. "I hope the lights act as a bit of a conversation starter, because one of the beauties of living in New Zealand is that we celebrate all kinds of cultures." Ola New Zealand Country Manager Brian Dewil said Diwali is a great opportunity to celebrate the diversity of its driver community. "Ola has more than 7000 drivers across the country, who come from a diverse range of cultural and religious backgrounds," Mr Dewil said. "Offering our drivers the opportunity to light up their cars for what is one of the most important festivals of the year for many of them, reflects that."

Kia ora neighbours, a group of Auckland Uni students say the vice-chancellor's response to the white supremacy row wasn't good enough, and they've vowed to occupy the quad every day until he apologises fully.

They have been out in the quad every day between 11 and 3 since last Tuesday, and they say they're determined to carry on protesting for the sake of students' safety.

Our Tamariki face many obstacles in this ever-changing world … so we are asking ‘bosses’ across New Zealand to accept their own challenge, step outside their comfort zone and take part in Drop Your Boss 2019!

Drop Your Boss is an annual fundraiser for the Graeme Dingle Foundation where we ask our Corporate Partners and Business Leaders to nominate their Boss to step off Auckland’s iconic building – The Sky Tower. All we ask is that your team fundraise through our Givealittle page and raise as much as possible to see your Boss dropped! All funds raised will support the work the Graeme Dingle Foundation does with young people across Aotearoa.

We invite staff, family and friends to come along and witness their Boss literally ‘go over the edge’ – all in the community spirit of the Graeme Dingle Foundation.

Sign up for Drop Your Boss and Walk The Talk with us!
