Confused Waimakariri residents are being encouraged to sign up for alerts so they put their bins out on the right day.

About 900 households have subscribed to the alerts since the new collection service began in July, but council solid waste manager Kitty Waghorn hopes more will sign up rather than rely on copying what their neighbours are doing. "The reminders take the guesswork out, particularly around public holidays ... where it's common for people to put bins or bags out on the wrong day."

Anyone on the council's kerbside collection area can sign up for the text or email alerts online.

After 20 pleasurable years, the owners of The Peppertree are now ready to move on. They want a sale and have instructed us to present all offers.

Beginning life as a renowned restaurant and currently operating very successfully as boutique accommodation, The Peppertree works very well as a function centre and would also make a superb cellar door. Located with State Highway frontage close to Blenheim and situated on the soon to open Picton to Kaikoura cycleway, it is ideally positioned to cash in on Marlborough’s growing tourism industry.

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

Encompassing four hectares and featuring organically managed vineyard and gardens, fruit trees, berry patches, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle, and horses, The Peppertree is close to being self-sufficient. The extra land also offers an opportunity for future expansion and development.

The rateable value for land and improvements is $1,520,000.
All offers requested to be received by 4 pm Wednesday 27 November 2019.

For more information or an appointment to view, please contact Michal or Tim.

The team of young footballers have been crowned the best in their grade in the South Island after a hard-fought battle in Queenstown.
They took out their grade's competition at the South Island Tournament during the October school holidays.

Coached by Grant Woolhouse and Wayne Lapslie, the squad of 16 played seven games with only one loss, a closely contested 0-1 against Nomads during pool play.

The grand final between Waimak and Nomads was a closely contested match. Neither team had managed to hit the back of the net by full time, with the score remaining 0-0, but penalty shootouts resulted in Waimak coming out with the win at 4-1.

Congratulations to the team and coaches whose hard work and training during the year brought home the winners' cup and the gold medals.
