Could there be a better place to work from home?
Stunning views while you work and lovely bays to walk, run or bike around at lunchtime.

Sitting above Worser Bay with majestic views over the new yacht club to Seatoun, Eastbourne and the harbour entrance beyond, this light, bright and airy townhouse is the perfect lock and leave alternative to an apartment.

Incredible open living with vaulted ceiling, topped with a full wrap-around skylight, makes the most of the sun while wide bi-folding doors lead to a generous deck - perfect for entertaining or just soaking in the view.

Two of three large double bedrooms on the lower floor also enjoy the views while the third looks into the sheltered courtyard. A private deck can be accessed from the main bedroom. The gorgeous bathroom is fully tiled and offers a sophisticated experience. A separate, second washroom is located upstairs.

Excellent proximity to shops, schools, bus routes, Weta, Park Road and Stone Street Studios, cafes / restaurants, beaches, Wellington airport and the CBD. So close to everything but feels like you're on holiday!

Watch the sun rise from behind the Orongorongo mountain range in the morning. Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck as the sun fades in the evenings. Listen to the waves breaking gently as you fall asleep and wake up in the morning.

Low-tech solution

The Team from Wellington Water

Sometimes a low-tech tool is the answer.

Sometimes a low-tech tool is the answer.

A blocked stormwater pipe in Titahi Bay led to a CCTV investigation, which identified a blockage about 7 meters from the manhole cover. A water jetter was winched through the pipe and cleared out cans, bottles, Lego blocks and other bits of plastic, but a tangle of roots seen on the screen wouldn’t budge.

Here we have Servicepersons Grayson (at the back holding the handle) and Tito using a corkscrew extended to 7 meters to clear roots out of the pipe.

We are excited to announce that the first liner in the Mt Albert sludge pipes has been successfully tested and is now operational – which means we’ve been able to take bring the sludge trucks operation to an end.
There will be the odd truck passing through over the coming week or so as the sludge tanks at Moa Point are cleared, but the 24/7 operation is over.
We want to thank the impacted residents for your patience and resilience in putting up with the trucks traveling past your houses every day through what has been an extraordinary time – possibly made more trying by the restrictions of Covid-19 and the fact everyone was at home more than usual.

We also want to acknowledge the efforts of the truck drivers who have worked tirelessly to keep sludge out of Cook Strait. And we’d like to thank the council and community leaders who have ensured community interests were kept foremost throughout a particularly difficult time for the city.

The second Mt Albert pipe lining operation is under way. Once complete, in three weeks or so, this will restore full redundancy in the event of failure. If there’s an emergency before then, we may need to re-start the trucking operation. However, lining the full length of this critical Mt Albert section of the sludge pipe minimises the risk of the pipe failing again until a longer term solution for sludge management is developed.
