Six of our NZQA Diploma Cookery students signed up for the New Zealand Hospitality Championships – previously known as the Culinary Fare run by the New Zealand Chefs Association at the recent Hospitality Hui held on on September 19, 2022.

Planning took place over the previous six weeks where the students formulated their dish concepts. Practical cooking sessions enabled them to test and try out their culinary ideas and refine their dishes.

These efforts were boosted by the reflections of our Head Chef Finn Gybel and his stories of when he had competed in Denmark nearly 20 years ago. Back then, our Chef Finn was sous chef to René Redzepi, now rated as one of the great chefs of the world.

As a result, we won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.

Minutes to rothesay bay, browns bay beaches and easy access to bus routes to albany, takapuna and the city.

Our ome is 3 levels, we reside upstairs with our small friendly resue dog . We are looking for a professional person, or couple and would possibly consider a single parent that may benifit from a space to accomodate a child in a coparenting situation as I know it can be challenging when in this situation. The pics dont do the space justice so please contact us on 027 211 1568 or paulgerj@yahoo.com for veiwing. Available from next week, rent negotiable depending on situation eg single person, couple. Whole space, one room etc . Cheers
