Mānawatia a Matariki!
The rising of Matariki (a cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades) marks the beginning of the Māori New Year. Happy Māori New Year from the team at NZ Compare!
It is a wonderful time to reflect, to connect with whānau (family), with our taiao (environment), and to celebrate what has passed and what is to come. We hope you have a warm and safe Matariki.

Loki: lost 3 leg cat from Te Wharepōuri Street
Loki is up to his old tricks and has gone awol again. The last time was around 2.5 years ago when he was found inside a wall cavity in the Satan Slaves compound. He is an 8 year old lilac Burmese. This means he’s a kind of beige colour. With amber eyes. He’s missing his right front leg.
He’s likely to be shut in a shed or under a house in either Te Wharepouri street, Luxford or until between Luxford and te Whareouri St.
If you can take a look in any shut sheds, outside laundries or under houses cavities. Any 3 leg cat who can make his way into a roof cavity and then down into a wall can get stuck anywhere.
The Great Wall is closing
The Great Wall Takeaways is closing this Tuesday for the last time, as the owners are retiring. The Hataitai Hot Bread Hop is moving in from next door.
