Ratepayers disagree on many things but most agree Whangarei needs positive leadership.

Many millions of dollars of investment capital have been lost to other districts because the District Council is difficult to deal with. That means lost jobs and lost income for local families.

To see which candidates have committed to positive change visit Better! Whangarei

The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.

A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.

This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.
