YOU WILL NOT SEE ANOTHER HOUSE LIKE THIS!

The owners are delighted to offer for sale this unique house in an enviable location which is within walking distance to several local schools. There are also a few bus stops nearby and you can reach both the Papakura and Drury town centres within minutes.

This hilltop brick house is at the end of a no-exit street. The gated entry at the end of a long driveway provides the only access to the very private and peaceful section.

Upstairs has three double bedrooms including a semi-ensuite master bedroom, the second toilet, open plan living and dining area, kitchen, and spacious food storage space. Downstairs has two double bedrooms, two single rooms, a shower room, the fourth toilet, an office, and a storage room. It also has a small rumpus room which can be used as a second living room. Three roofed pergolas are joined together providing over 50 sqm semi-outdoor space for entertaining guests and sports activities rain or shine.

Outside the property has a generous sized garden which is rare in a Mixed Housing Suburban Zone. We have a variety of over 30 fruit trees and many of them are fruiting. A big lawn ideal for playing balls/games. Two animal enclosures for keeping the children's pets. Six large vegetable beds can grow enough vegetables for a whole family throughout the year. There is also a 5,000L rainwater tank for gardening use and more.

The house was built in 2016 with a high quality standard. All windows are double glazed. Premium quality vinyl floor makes it very easy to maintain and keep clean. Plenty of sunlight. Great view from the hilltop location.

Ideal for a large family or home & income. This is a truly unique home and must be viewed in order to be fully appreciated.

Please contact the owners at 021 0838 5308 during business hours for viewing the property. No agent please.

Recipe: Fragrant Chicken Salad

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

The marinade in this recipe is based on infusing the chicken with crushed lemongrass. Lemongrass is one of those aromatic greens that seems to cope with being frozen so I always have some in the freezer ready to use. It will usually defrost within 10 minutes. It is important to massage your chicken with the lemongrass and oil. It may look a bit strange but this way, the flavour of the lemongrass will be absorbed.

Feeling a tad outdated at work?

There is nothing worse than that sneaking suspicion that you are past your sell-by date at work. There is a point at which quirky and clueless is less fun and more embarrassing.

There really is no reason to feel this way if the issue is not being digitally literate. Digital Skills for the Workplace, offered by The Mind Lab, is fun, it really is, and it’s not a bunch of “how to” steps that you need to follow once you’re back at work and pray that it works - you actually use the tools without being aware that you are learning the tool.
You experience the impact of the skill while using it and playing so it’s already part of your DNA by the time you get back to work.

That’s a secret Mind Lab formula by the way!
And its professional development (tick that box!)

The Bachelor of Humanities awaits you!

Meet Christina Nuku who graduated with a double major in Indigenous Studies and Policy. Through Awanuiārangi, Christina went on a 3-month indigenous knowledge exchange programme at the University of Northern British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.

She shares “the exchange connected me with the Nisga’a people, First Nations tribal systems, communities and hauora programmes. It informed my studies and opened my mind. It was a genuine privilege to connect with the tangata whenua there, and an opportunity I would never otherwise have had”

We know there will be more and would really like to be able to support them. Being for first time parents they only have one chance to attend these programmes. These parents want to be the best parents that they can be and we would like to assist them. Not only does the programme support their first baby but also any future children. We have trained facilitators to lead the groups but they need a support person with them. Ideally we do not like to have more than 15 new parents and babies in a group as this enables each person to receive the support and encouragement that they need. It is great for each of them to be able to share any issues for them and to know that they need. Both the facilitators and attendees really enjoy the sessions and get a lot out of it both the giver and the recipient. Main criteria to be involved is to like people and to want to be able to support others resulting in a stronger community.
