Dogs lolling beneath cafe tables while their owners sip lattes or glasses of pinot would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.
Now it is just the way Kiwis roll, with a raft of dog-friendly dining options available throughout the country. What do you think? Should dogs be allowed in cafes?

As the summer peak season approaches we are expecting a record number of campers to visit Whangarei District for their holidays. We want visitors to feel welcome, and we also want them to respect the local rules! Our Ambassadors interact with campers to offer local advice, answer questions, and explain rules as needed. They can also report issues to Armourguard if enforcement is required. Expenses are covered.
Freedom campers tend to be a mix of locals and foreigners and a range of ages. They're all looking for a nice holiday, and you can be a part of it!
To learn more about our programme and express interest as an Ambassador please get in touch through our webpage (hit "read more" below)

Less than a week ago brave Hollie received the devastating news that she had a rare, aggressive and advanced form of terminal breast cancer.

Hollies type of cancer is Triple Negative, only a slim 10 - 20% of cancers are this type. It won’t respond to normal therapy medicines and doctors are intensely interested in finding new medications to treat it. While studies are still trying to find out if certain medications can interfere with the growth of this cancer, it is unlikely to respond to normal therapy medicines. In a nutshell this type of cancer means treatment options are dramatically diminished.
The devastating prognosis is coupled with the intense financial strain this devastating disease causes. Financial costs of extra treatments, not to mention the simple cost of surviving from day to day with Hollie unable to work. While managing the symptoms and side effects of this horrible disease, the financial pressure is overwhelming.
Hollies has just celebrated her 30th birthday, her smile always lights up the room and she is so bright and bubbly - anyone you ask will tell you that! She’s made a difference in so many people’s lives over the years working at Orrs Pharmacy in Bream Bay, if not with help or advice then simply her gorgeous smile!
Now it’s time for us to give back to Hollie and raise as much as we can for our beautiful warrior. Please please please dig deep and donate whatever you can!

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.

Hey neighbours,
Halloween is fast approaching. Some Kiwis think it's great fun and go all out with decorations and lollies. Others just want to shut their doors and be left alone, leave it to the Americans.

Halloween is fast approaching. Some Kiwis think it's great fun and go all out with decorations and lollies. Others just want to shut their doors and be left alone, leave it to the Americans.
Do you celebrate Halloween at your house? Why or why not?
And If you don't like trick or treating, how do you make it clear your house is a no-go zone?
We're keen to talk to some people who feel strongly about Halloween one way or the other. If you have thoughts to share, please email homed@stuff.co.nz and we'll be in touch.
