A tasty & convivial day!
We had a great day on our Gourmet Gallivant trip to Katikati & Waihi Beach yesterday. We started with a really interesting talk & tour by Jill & enjoyed tasting the excellent cheese at Mount Eliza Cheese. Paul & I loved the buttery Blue Monkey & Raw Milk Red Leicester. We moved on to Harbourside Macadamias for another excellent presentation & tasting. Yay! They had macadamia brittle, our favourite - macadamia butter, liqueur, oil, plus.... We had an enjoyable tasting of Mills Reef & Leveret Estate wines at The Wine Portfolio & there was a lot of laughter & tall stories on the bus after the visit. We had a tasty Fish & chip lunch at Flat White Cafe before indulging our sweet tooth at Chez Moi Chocolaterie. The White Chocolate with Pistachio & freeze-dried raspberries (GF) was but one of the decadent tastes at this special venue. We'll be redoing this trip every month, but it can also be booked Tuesday- Friday on a date you choose for your own group of ten. Gift vouchers available!

Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank
Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply first this loan - even if they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing
You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of there website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.
If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
