What do you think about the newly announced festival on Motutapu?
Island Time on Motutapu is a festival to be held over the last weekend in February and is set to feature a smorgasbord of food and drink vendors and music artists.
Festival-goers will be treated to a day long festival on either February 27 or 28 on the island. Tickets range from between $65 to $85, with a portion of ticket sales going towards to wildlife conservation.
Billy Brown, the deputy chairman of Ngāi Tai Ki Tamaki, said that it is an excellent opportunity to showcase the culture of the island and for them to educate visitors about volunteer opportunities on Motutapu.
“In the end, we want a calendar of events on the island, covering sports, arts, food – all of it," he said.

The plea follows an apparent spike in valuable purebred dogs being stolen around the country.
Chief executive officer Debra Ashton said SAFE had seen a rise in the number of stolen pedigree pooches reported on social media.
“It's cruelty in the highest degree both for the animals and for the families that are having their dogs stolen.
“This is completely unacceptable and the community together needs to fight against it.”
Ashton recommends people go to animal charities which are “screaming out” for good loving homes instead of buying expensive pedigrees from “puppy mills”.
This could help to “nip the theft business in the bud” by reducing demand, she said.
Ashton urged people to be aware of animals being stolen for dog fighting to speak out, and to question new pet owners about where they got their pedigrees.
The price of puppies is believed to be skyrocketing due to more demand after the Covid-19 lockdown.
“I’ve heard figures of around $4000 to $8000 which is phenomenal for purchasing a dog,” Ashton said.
Cavoodle puppies – a hybrid of a cavalier king charles spaniel and a poodle – are selling on Trade Me for $6000, golden retriever puppies for $4000 and Dobermans for $3000 a pup.
Trade Me has seen 28,000 searches for puppies in the last week - a 34 per cent jump on the same time last year.
Would you prefer to buy a pedigree pooch or a mixed breed puppy?
Why?

With places limited to just 45 children, it is a small and nurturing centre that will fill up fast.
Aukilani Kids is different to most childcare centres because it operates more like a traditional kindergarten, specialising in children over two years old with an educational programme focused on preparing children for school. As well as offering a bilingual Samoan experience the centre also has a faith-based programme.
Private and secure, Aukilani Kids has an outdoor area full of mature trees and equipment aimed to inspire and challenge pre-schoolers. With so many leafy places to explore it feels more like a park than a childcare playground. One of the many highlights of Aukilani Kids is the huge car park which guarantees drop off and pick up is never stressful.
Aukilani Kids is open from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Get in touch and secure your child’s place.

The house is beautifully cool in summer and warm in winter. There were 21 children living on this street when our kids were growing up.

We wish this for the next family that lives in this home. Have a look at our listing on trademe.
