Our complex and ever-changing world can be a difficult thing to explain to tamariki. To help, Stuff has launched KEA Kids News - a twice-weekly video bulletin of news by kids for kids.

Just like the smart and curious kea, our inquisitive kid reporters will peck through local, national and international news to find stories and ask questions that connect with seven to 11-year-olds, to show them that truth is not only stranger than fiction but often a lot more interesting.

This boutique hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to combine a healthy and diverse lifestyle with an interesting and profitable business which naturally scales down during winter, allowing for a holiday.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.

Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.

A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.

This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.

Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

It's voting time! 1 Sep - 30 Sep 2019
The Wellington North Community Patrol has been selected for this year’s Z Good in the Hood programme.
We are delighted to be selected as the funds raised to assist with paying for fuel to keep the patrol car on the road. Voting at Z Johnsonville commenced on 1 September and continues until 30 September. Each purchase will result in a token being supplied to the customer who can vote for their selected organisation.

Just purchase a coffee or a muffin and you will receive a token. The Patrol would be grateful for the public’s support to ensure the vehicle can patrol every week.



The Wellington North Community Patrol is in partnership with New Zealand Police and helps prevent crime and reduce harm and victimisation through the active presence of trained patrollers across the Wellington North suburbs. The area covered includes Ohariu, Churton Park, Glenside, Grenada Village, Woodridge, Paparangi, Johnsonville, Newlands, Broadmeadows, and Ngauranga. Both residential and commercial businesses are covered.



Community Patrols can undertake a wide range of roles in order to help keep the community safe. Patrols such as Wellington North Community Patrol can be seen cordoning off accident scenes on highways, guiding vehicles around hazards as well as a range of other exercises as per the instruction of New Zealand Police. These roles are often undertaken at night and during bad weather, putting these people at great potential risk. Patrol members can be called upon to assist in the event of large scale community events, natural disasters, and searches for missing persons.

The Patrol is a not-for-profit body and all members are volunteers.
