Protect your ‘me time’ and enjoy endless hot water that is instantly heated on-demand, so there’s always enough for that luxuriously, long soak in the bath.
Connect to natural gas FREE with The Gas Hub. Check your address here.

But after roughly 400 hours of scrubbing bronze and scraping moss, the former army major and his friend Melanie Macdonald respectfully restored the graves of about 85 servicemen and women scattered among camellia trees at the small, hilly cemetery north of Wellington.
Strombom, Macdonald and historian Allan Dodson, from Poriruawarstories.com, are now aiming to finish the job by raising $9000 to cover the cost of commemorative plaques. The money will also go towards restoring lead lettering and placing 85 permanent poppies at the graves before Armistice Day.

With the Government aiming to ban single-use plastic bags like the ones at supermarkets within a year, what will people use instead? Are you stockpiling plastic bags at your place?

Louisa Dummer and I have both been brewing Kombucha as a hobby for a while now, and we have decided with the amount that we brew and the hours of love and creativity we put into our brews, that we want to offer our Kombucha to the local community.
We both started drinking Kombucha for the amazing health benefits, too many to name, but the main benefit is that Kombucha is teeming with beneficial probiotics, digestive enzymes and vitamins. We truly believe our home-made Kombucha is unlike anything you’ll taste in a commercial bottle. Its the perfect balance of tart and sweet with a gentle bubble on your tongue.
We have a whole lot of Kombucha flavoured and ready for refrigeration. We are into recycling, so these reused 750ml wine bottles are sterilised with boiled water and white distilled vinegar - so no nasty chemicals. As an introductory price to get our Kombucha out there and to receive feedback that we can work from, we are asking a price of $5 per recycled wine bottle. If we have positive feedback on our brews we will look to continue our brews and have a consistent supply in brand new glass bottles.
Current flavours are (will post when new flavours are available)
1. Peach
2. Raspberry and Manuka Honey
3. Blueberry and Lavender
4. Cranberry and Mint
If you are interested please message one of us and we can work out an order/delivery/pickup.
We hope you love our Kombucha as much as we do, and if you don’t we will gladly take feedback to improve our brews!!
Thank you!
