BAY HARBOUR
PAGE 25
Paradise is closer than you think... and
this just happens to be the tastiest slice of it
on offer in Church Bay, Diamond Harbour.
Not only are the views absolutely irresistible,
with 180 degrees from Governors Bay to
the heads including the ever changing and
lively Lyttelton Port, but the quality and
well thought out 4 bedroom home takes full
advantage of the sun and the simple joys of
life itself.
As you enter the kitchen and dining room
the connection with the harbour becomes
very apparent. The thought of cooking,
entertaining, or just relaxing with such views
will make your imagination run wild. The
kitchen itself is a modern and slick example
of great design, and the nearby dining area
and living makes conversation or family time
so easy. The adjoining main living area is a
private haven, without being too disconnected
from the other living areas, and the opening
out to the decking and BBQ area makes for
even more living options.
All bedrooms have been cleverly designed
to connect to the outdoors and views by
opening to decking, while remaining private
and very personal. All bedrooms have great
storage, with the master boasting a huge walk
in wardrobe. The master has it's own special
features, being at a lower level than the other
rooms, and a well appointed ensuite with
shower and toilet that also separately opens to
the entertaining area outside for convenience.
The master bathroom, complete with bath
and shower, connects to one of the bedrooms,

The Thunderbolt Pony
by Stacy Gregg
A dramatic and emotional story about one girl’s determination
to stand by her beloved animals – and her refusal to give up,
even in the face of impossible odds.
When a devastating earthquake hits Evie’s hometown of
Parnassus on New Zealand’s South Island, she and the rest
of the town are forced to evacuate. Evie’s injured mum is one of
the first to be rescued by helicopter and Evie will be next. But when
realises that she will be forced to leave her beloved pony, Gus, her dog,
Jock, and her cat Moxy behind, she is determined to find another way. Before the rescue
helicopter returns, Evie flees with Gus, Jock and Moxy in a race against time across difficult
terrain to reach the port of Kaikoura, where she has heard that people will be evacuated by
ship in three days’ time. Surely there will be space for her, Gus, Jock and Moxy there?
But the journey is harder than Evie could ever have imagined, and with aftershocks
constantly shaking, Evie will have to draw on all her bravery, strength, and resilience to
bring her and her animals to safety . . . and hope that they reach the boat in time.

Timeless (1) - Diego And The Rangers
Of The Vastlantic
by Armand Baltazar
Imagine a world where the past, present and future have collided. A world that is timeless.
This is the world Diego was born into…
For fans of Rick Riordan and Brian Selznick, author-artist Armand Baltazar introduces the
first book in a new fantasy adventure series.
Over 150 full-colour illustrations bring this cinematic story to life!
You’ve never seen Earth like this before: continents reshaped, oceans re-formed, cities
rebuilt. Dinosaurs roam the plains alongside herds of buffalo, and giant robots navigate the
same waters as steam-powered ships. In New Chicago, Diego’s middle school hallways
buzz with kids from all eras of history and from cultures all over the world. The pieces do
not always fit together neatly, but this is the world he loves.
There are those, however, who do not share his affection. On his thirteenth birthday, Diego
learns of a special gift he has, a secret that is part of something much bigger. When his
father, New Chicago’s top engineer, is taken by the Aeternum, Diego must rescue him and
prevent this evil group from disrupting the fragile peace humanity has forged.

A study nook is tucked away off the hallway,
complete with wiring for data and tv, and
even has a built in safe. The property is fully
alarmed. This home is a great Bed & Breakfast
business opportunity.
Other features of the property include
a heatpump with pre-wiring for another,
underfloor heating in the wet areas, and quality
chocolate carpets. The yard is thoughtfully
planted and well established, with full
consideration given to the astounding views.
Diamond harbour itself is an increasingly
popular place to enjoy everything that is great
about the peninsula. The community is very
close, with many sports clubs and services. 2
licensed restaurants make eating out a breeze,
as well as groceries available locally, or a short
ride on the ferry to Lyttelton to indulge. The
ferry runs every 30 mins at peak, and hourly
at other times, with buses also running to
Cashmere or Lincoln for schools. 3 doctors
are available, as well as a local pre school and
primary school. Recreational activities in the
area are plentiful, from boating, to walks,
mountain biking, golf, and the nearby Orton
Bradley Park.
