Room review: Staying in the 'Spaceship', Warrington

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

If you want to go boldly where few have stayed before - the coastal settlement of Warrington may just be your ticket to an out-of-this world experience.

If you want to go boldly where few have stayed before - the coastal settlement of Warrington may just be your ticket to an out-of-this world experience.

Known locally as 'The Spaceship', this iconic Futuro home has been based in the Otago township, since 1975. Despite initial fears that this a friendly alien may buy the home when it was put on the market in 2017, that invasion did not eventuate.

Instead the property was sold to a Kiwi working in Australia, and has been listed for $83 a night on Airbnb since March.

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Last year alone, 427 serious injuries claims were made to ACC because of crashes and driving incidents over this long weekend.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:

- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions

With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.

The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.

Have a great long weekend!

Dunedin city councillors have been urged to save the "globally significant" Foulden Maar from an overseas mining company.

Plaman Resources, a diatomite mining company, seeks Overseas Investment Office consent to buy 432 hectares of land near Middlemarch, an hour from Dunedin.

That land, as described by University of Otago geologist Daphne Lee, is largely grassy paddocks. However, some of the ground underneath has unearthed "extraordinary" geological treasures, she told the Dunedin City Council on Tuesday afternoon.
