Highwic Valentine's Picnic
Bring your partner and your favourite beverage to the Highwic Valentine’s Picnic! We’ll take care of the rest - a picnic box with delicious snacks and treats, and a quiet corner in our beautiful grounds, ready for your special date.
Set in the lush grounds of this historic property, framed by beautiful flower beds and heritage trees, overlooking the picturesque Carpenter Gothic façade of the Victorian Highwic mansion, this is a truly romantic setting for a memorable Valentine’s Day.
Tickets are $55 per couple. A visit to the house, either before or after your picnic, is also included in your ticket price.
If the weather misbehaves, we'll move event inside.
Numbers are limited.
Please book through Event Brite.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Sleeper planter refurbishment.
Howdy Neighbours
We came across these newish treated pine sleepers from TrustWood Timbers. These sleepless are great for your vege planters and general planting as the treatment used is safe for all plants and does not leach into the soil. Unlike Mac sleepers they come with a 50 year guarantee so they will outlast the more traditional Mac sleepers. Very straight and diamentionaly correct so great to work with.
We have just completed this job in Parnell using these where we have swapped out the rotten Mac sleepers for new TrustWood Sleepers 👍
