Cossie Glamours Up

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt Cossie Club is the biggest and best of its kind in NZ already and it is taking a step further with the advent of a new sumptuous facility within its complex.

Part of the interior has been turned into a large separated cafe-bar with beautiful wooden features, low ceiling, comfortable saloon type seating mixed with others, huge state-of-the-art kitchen and a free computerised touch selection of background music/songs dating from the fifties to 2022 complete with a large screen relating to the musical choice.

This cafe-bar features not only cafe-style meals but a wide selection of craft beer, most of it brewed in Upper Hutt's famous Brewtown.

It is ready to go.

The only issue is sufficient staffing. Jobs are available to get this "room" full steam ahead and occupied.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
