Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.

Hi team! Thank you so much for your support of First Rung, our first podcast!
The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

Hello

Here in Torbay on Long Bay Drive we value our peaceful setting amongst native trees and houses that blend well with its surroundings but as developers recently bought a section opposite of us this is going to change.
Without any consultation of any of the neighbouring property owners the new owner of this section (merely 1000m2) plans to build 8 townhouses with no more space for green area!!
They already chopped down a 50 year old Pohutukawa tree and several Nikau palm trees.
The whole neighbourhood is concerned that this development will change the look of this area in the future and that even more native trees will be lost because of greed.
This development, as so many others, will not save the housing shortage, in Auckland as they will sell well over the 1million dollar mark and only a view people will be able to afford this, for sure no first home buyers.
Only to the gain of greedy property developers.
If you are concerned too or want to help please call the council hotline under 3010101 extension 1. it might take a while until someone picks up the phone but it's worth the wait.
Thanks
