Style explores the best of Christchurch, giving readers the opportunity to 

develop and celebrate their individual style in life, home and fashion. A monthly 

publication, Style is presented on high-grade gloss stock with a hard cover. 

Delivered flow-wrapped to top real estate value homes around Christchurch, 

Style targets readers with a high disposable income. Designed to inspire, Style 

has a lengthy shelf life that offers excellent value for your advertising choice.

in this publication are not necessarily the opinion of Star Media or its 

editorial contributors. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of 

the information within this magazine, however Star Media can accept 

no liability for the accuracy of all the information. 

In this issue of Style, we have an interview with some of Canterbury’s finest rugby 

players – Andy Ellis, Robbie Fruean and Marty McKenzie – and learn there is much 

more to them than just their professional game (pg. 14). 

With New Zealand Fashion Week (NZFW) on the horizon, I catch up with Turet 

Knuefermann, owner and designer of women’s fashion brand TK. She sheds the light 

on how the industry has developed over the past decade and what we can expect 

to see at NZFW this year (pg. 12). 

Gerald Carter and Marilyn Carter-Smith invite us into their stunning 140-year-old 

home in Tai Tapu to view their clever design that seamlessly mixes the old with the 

new (pg. 18). We then provide a new ‘get the look’ page for those wishing to mimic 

their style, plus highlight fantastic ideas for the kitchen. 

As always, we bring you top international trends in both Lux Living and Fashion 

News. If there’s one thing every woman of style knows it’s that Haute Couture 

Fashion Week in Paris is the most definitive event of the year. On show are some of 

the most beautiful clothes in the world, by the likes of Dior, Chanel and Valentino. 

We pick out some favourite looks on page 44. 

Our food writer, Vanessa Ortynsky, has been out and about. She attended 

Maddison Restaurant’s Paddock to Plate event, devouring an amazing five-course 

degustation menu and also experienced Kum Pun Thai Restaurant on Victoria Street, 

which is by no means your run-of-the-mill Thai restaurant (pg. 63).

Stylist-turned-designer Rachel Zoe said “accessories are a woman’s 

armour”, and there is no better place to arm yourself than 

Ballantynes re-launched Accessories Department. The clean and 

classic updated look makes shopping a pleasure. Look out for the 

gorgeous range of Ted Baker hats. 

We love how there is a solution for all cosmetic disasters, 

even over-plucked eyebrows. Bespoke Cosmetic offers 

micropigmentation, which essentially is the placement of pigment 

into the skin to give a realistic colour or hair effect. Trained by 

Sinead O’Connor’s makeup artist, owner Nicky Blue’s technique 

creates a beautifully natural look. 

The first delivery of Isabel Marant has arrived at Workshop. 

Isabel Marant is a French fashion designer best known for her 

Bohemian aesthetic. We love the gorgeous range of shoe boots.

Innovative local company Ico Trader is Christchurch’s exclusive supplier 

of pressed tin panels. These are making a strong impact in the architectural 

and interior design world after been seen on The Block Australia. 

Eliza’s Manor Boutique Hotel, situated at 82 Bealey Avenue, is under 

new ownership. Open for breakfast and brunch six days a week, as well 

as dessert and coffee in the evening, Eliza’s underwent a full refurbishment 

after it was damaged during the earthquakes. Built in 1861, the building was 

originally a family home, before becoming a boutique hotel in 1981.

Pot Sticker Dumpling Bar now has a dine-in experience with a 

restaurant on Poplar Lane. The premise comprises of two rooms, 

with a contemporary Chinese design. The dumplings, as expected, 

are glorious and succulent, hand-made by experts from Shanghai and 

Guangzhou. Using only free-range and local produce, this is a must 

visit any day/night of the week. 

The Monday Room has had a revamp of its interiors and menu. We 

are especially excited to hear there is an extra focus on that which 

makes for the perfect wicked winter hideaway. Ex-Pegasus Bay chef 

Shawn McGowan and Globe Café’s Sarah Harland will be heading the 

kitchen. 

Be transported to the streets of Mumbai with the latest addition to

One of the most haunted yet beautiful ballets ever written is the story of Giselle. 

Follow the tragedy of her broken heart and descent into madness. Choreographed so 

gracefully it will bring a tear to the staunchest of eyes. The RNZB will be performing 

this in Christchurch at the Isaac Theatre Royal, 23-24 August. 

New Zealand will be the first in the world to use the recently launched Heineken 

Live App, which uses technology developed by Kiwis. The app encourages people to 

get out and explore their city by offering on-the-spot rewards and surprise experiences, 

such as flights around the country, helicopter transport to an event or special access 

to VIP areas in venues. The more you get out and explore the city, the more rewards 

and experiences you can unlock. Some of the participating bars in Christchurch include 

Vespa Bar, Aikmans, Christchurch Casino, Spice Paragon and Fiddlesticks.

Five 

Minutes 

with turet Knuefermann 

Owner and designer of women’s fashion brand TK, Turet is known for 

her sleek, sexy and effortless designs that make a woman feel elegant and 

sophisticated. Speaking with Victoria Tait we get a sneak peek into what we 

can expect to see from her at New Zealand Fashion Week, August 22-28. 

How would you describe your personal 

style? And how does this impact on your 

designs? 

i hate to talk about myself... my style is 

simple – i love the contrast of masculine 

and feminine: essentially male cuts like a suit 

or classic shirt made in fabric that oozes 

femininity such as soft cashmere or sandwashed 

silk. Our designs are refined and 

sexy. feminine. there is an empowerment 

that women have, that men have through 

other things. i want to give women that 

confidence to be who they are. with our 

garments, you can forget about what you’re 

wearing and just be yourself. 

What sort of woman wears your clothing? 

the woman who knows what she wants, 

and doesn’t want to take the time to fuss. 

She is smart, confident and embraces her 

femininity. 

What can we expect to see from your 

new collection at this year’s NZFW? 

easy glamour, refined silhouettes, textures, 

luxurious finishes and unexpected 

combinations of fabrics that will create an 

effortless new take on casual luxe. this 

year i will be pushing the boundaries of 

how fabrics can be utilised to create a fresh 

and innovative take on those key basics, 

which will see us through the season feeling 

like we have a wardrobe full of things to 

cherish! excited. 

From where have you drawn inspiration 

for this collection? 

i drew my inspiration from the latest 

innovations in fabric construction: new 

vegan leathers, high-tech fabric finishing 

and sumptuous knits are the essential 

ingredients to define our look this season. 

as with most of my designs over the last 

decade, in essence, it’s about letting the 

fabric do the talking and my fascination for 

the effect that an unworked shape can have 

for the wearer. 

How has fashion changed over the decade 

in which you’ve been producing your 

label? 

i think one of the biggest changes in this 

decade is the awareness amongst us all of 

wanting to promote ethical manufacturing 

and a move away from usage of materials 

like leather and angora, which often come 

from sources that can’t be guaranteed 

to be cruelty-free. we want to know 

where our products are made and are in 

the knowledge that we can all play a part 

in making a difference. every choice we 

now make with our purchases is a more 

conscious one. 

What would you say is your greatest 

career highlight so far? 

Opening the new Knuefermann store in the 

historic kauri timber building on fanshawe 

Street, auckland, with its dream fit-out and 

unconventional access to act as a gallery in 

which to present the garments. it reflects a 

luxurious consumer experience along with 

the european style and clean lines we are 

well known for. reflecting our garment 

textiles the natural elements of wood, stone 

and light combine to create a beautifully 

unique shopping destination. with our 

clients finding their lives increasingly filled 

up with ‘busy noise’, i wanted to create a 

haven for them to take some time off and 

focus attention on how they think about 

themselves. it’s an intimate and engaging 

luxury experience that feels special. 

Who would you love to dress and why? 

i love to dress all women! that’s how 

i ended up in this business: it’s such a 

pleasure to meet such a variety of inspiring, 

successful and beautiful women – each with 

her unique sense of style and presence.

Speaking with some of our favourite boys of the red-and-black jersey, Marty McKenzie, Robbie Fruean 

and Andy Ellis, Victoria Tait discovers their top style tips, travel destinations 

and why you don’t want to room with Wyatt Crockett. 

PHOTOGRAPHY Robyn WilSon, AnyWhERE i RoAM

Style | in profile 15 

My first impression of Andrew Ellis, 

Robbie Fruean and Marty McKenzie, is 

how impeccably well media trained these 

men are. They are professional athletes 

at the top of their game, role models for 

our younger generations, well spoken, and 

have an ability to make you feel at ease. It 

makes you wonder why rugby still holds 

a stigma of players as thugs, where the 

reality could not be further from this. 

Halfback Andrew (Andy) Ellis, at 32, 

is one of the veterans of the team. 

A member of the Rugby World Cupwinning 

All Black side in 2011, this will 

be his eleventh year for the Crusaders. 

Andy has scored 134 Super Rugby 

points and is a Crusaders’ centurion. 

He is also an award-winning landscape 

gardener, a radio host and father of 

two, and now splits his time between 

New Zealand and Japan. 

Midfield-back Robbie Fruean (28) is 

welcomed back to the Crusaders with 

open arms after a brief stint with the 

Chiefs in 2014. Known for his speed and 

agility, Robbie’s career started in 2007, 

when he represented New Zealand in the 

Under-19 Rugby World Championship, 

consequently named the IRB World 

Under-19 Player of the Year. His career, 

however, was briefly put on hold due to 

a life-threatening illness called pancarditis, 

which causes inflammation of the heart. 

Robbie underwent open-heart surgery 

and then joined the Crusaders in 2010, 

when he came back fighting to become 

the joint leading try scorer and ITM Cup 

Player of the Year. It might surprise you to 

know Robbie is also a barber by trade and 

known as the most stylish player on the 

team. He also has a passion for cooking. 

First five-eighth/utility-back Marty 

McKenzie (23) has rugby in his blood. 

Born and bred in Invercargill, he is the 

older brother of Chiefs first five-eighth 

Damian McKenzie and cousin to former 

Maori All Black Robbie Robinson. Marty 

made his Super Rugby debut in 2013 

for the Blues, only a year after playing 

for New Zealand under-20s in the 2012 

Junior World Championships. However, 

it was in 2014, when playing for Taranaki 

in the ITM Cup that Marty’s ability really 

shone. Known as a very versatile player 

with good kicking ability, Marty has also 

played for Taranaki in the 2014 ITM Cup, 

Maori All Blacks tour of Japan in 2014 and 

Chiefs in 2015. Off the field, you are likely 

to spot Marty down at King of Snake, or 

having a hit on the golf course.

16 Style | in profile 

if you could haVe dinner WiTh Three people 

aliVe or dead, Who Would They be? 

Marty: LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Mark Wahlberg. 

Andy: Captain Cook, Napoleon, Martin Luther King. 

Robbie: Michael Jordan and Nelson Mandela.

Marty: I would to pretty nervous to meet Jessica Alba to tell you the 

truth. I’m normally quite calm and collected, but she would make me 

nervous. 

Robbie: Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson. 

During a break in a training session at Rugby Park, Style 

caught up with a humorous threesome. Describing each 

other as Robbie “loveable” Fruean, Marty “Cheeky” 

McKenzie and Andy “The Pie Man” Ellis, there’s more to 

these guys than just rugby. 

WhaT’s your personal sTyle? 

Marty: Robbie is one of the most stylish, he quite likes his long T-shirts. 

Andy: He does most of the boys’ hair as he’s a trained barber. In fact, 

you know the barber shop in Merivale? He works in there. If you drive 

past and see the guy in there with a bow tie and suspenders on, that’s 

him. 

Robbie: Yeah, I have a bit of a gangster look (laughs). 

Who is The leasT sTylish player on The Team? 

Andy: Luke Romano. He wears scuffs with socks. If you invite him for 

dinner, he’ll turn up in trackpants, even to a good restaurant. 

WhaT’s your faVouriTe resTauranT? 

Marty: King of Snake, I’m a big fan of their food. 

Andy: I love anything Asian fusion: Spice Paragon, Bamboozle. 

WhaT do you eaT To indulge? 

Marty: I love Chinese, deep-fried sweet and sour pork. And also 

chocolate. 

Andy: Hmm, yeah, I love chocolate. 

Robbie: All of that, and maybe KFC (laughs). 

WhaT’s your mosT Valued possession? 

Marty: Probably my phone. 

Andy: Hmm that’s a good question – it probably was my scooter… It’s 

no longer with us as I was hit off it about two weeks ago. 

Robbie: I would say my dog, Sirloin. 

hoW Would you describe your perfecT day? 

Marty: Down in Wanaka with family and friends. 

Andy: Would be with my family doing something fun, maybe down at 

the beach. 

Robbie: Wake up at 10am, sun shining (laughs). 

Where Would you like To find yourself in 

10 years? 

Marty: Hopefully still playing. 

Andy: Same. Nah! I’ll be a bit buggered! 

Robbie: Hopefully still married, and maybe with a couple of kids, 

owning a barber shop. 

WhaT do you like To do in doWnTime? 

Marty: I like playing golf, and I’m into horse racing. 

Andy: Kicking around with the kids, and love going out for dinner. 

Robbie: Just chilling out. 

WhaT are your Top TraVel desTinaTions? 

Marty: Santorini. 

Andy: Lake Brunner on the West Coast. 

Robbie: Barcelona.

Style | home 19 

In the mad rush to Christmas-holiday celebrations at Akaroa 

in 1996, Gerald Carter and Marilyn Carter-smith noticed a 

ramshackle villa, creamery and stables. They fell in love, not 

with the home, but the stables, barn and creamery that were 

worn, dirty and a little bit shabby round the edges. so it was 

that viewing and negotiations began, when most people were 

sitting back and relaxing in the summer sun of New Year. 

The homestead, formerly the farmhouse of sir Heaton 

rhodes, was subdivided in 1873, when John Joseph Herrick 

bought the villa along with 40 hectares. It was he who then 

built the creamery to create a dairy co-operative – the first of 

its kind in New Zealand – as well as a barn, and extended the 

house to accommodate his brood of 13 children. 

once Gerald and Marilyn purchased the property the 

first decision for them was how best to use light to create 

a seamless layout. The solution was to gut the interior 

completely. “sometimes it’s just easier to start over,” Marilyn 

says. What stands today is a huge light-filled living space, 

separate library/office/dining room, with all the modern 

conveniences for cooking and daily chores. 

The couple cleverly changed what was once a hallway into a 

scullery for the kitchen, which is now dressed in stainless steel 

and bricked tiles to create a beautiful but extremely practical 

working area. The grand and long table that sits comfortably 

in the living space was made out of reclaimed wood from the 

property and is utilised as a dining table, kitchen workspace or 

office surface. The leftover piece of hallway is an en-suite for 

the master bedroom. 

Mirrors were inserted into the panels of the doors and 

surrounds of the library entranceway to transfer light and also 

create an excellent method of spying. The wooden flooring is 

kept highly polished by Marilyn, providing a reflection of the 

outside inside. 

This home has a perfect mix of both old and new. 

Contemporary touches include a Peter stutchbury painting, 

small artworks in the library, as well as a primary-coloured 

lighting fixture in the sitting area. 

The enchantment of old remains. so much so it would not 

be a surprise if Anne of Green Gables peered around the 

corner with her red plaits. Three attic bedrooms, one of which 

is accessed by fold-down stairs in the scullery, create nooks of 

privacy for family or guests who come to stay.

Perhaps the greatest achievement, though, is the 

transformation of the outbuildings that have been 

sympathetically enhanced to create accommodation. It is 

in these buildings that the volunteer wwooFers (world 

wide opportunities on organic Farms) are housed while 

they help on the land, or paying guests come to enjoy the 

now-named Tai Tapu Lodge, its surrounds and the hospitality 

of this couple. In the stables, the Herrick name is still seen in 

the graffiti of yesteryear. The couple have also left the old 

newspaper articles glued to the walls and ceiling, maintaining 

those precious links to the past. Gerald and Marilyn have 

created their own graffiti wall, too; a chalkboard wall painted 

12 years ago in the main house is where messages are left, 

important notes or inspiring messages are taken down. 

some may say Gerald and Marilyn are conjurers of space 

or alchemists of design. whatever the title, these two have 

managed to create a magical place in which to live while 

conserving the history of past times, for people to visit and 

for future generations to admire.

LYNETTE MCFADDEN 

BUSINESS OWNER, HARCOURTS GOLD 

AND WELL KNOWN BUSINESSWOMAN 

IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO 

LOOK AT REAL ESTATE AT 

THE MOMENT WITHOUT 

ACKNOWLEDGING THE 

BROADER MARKETPLACE 

AND SOCIAL PLATFORMS 

INVOLVED. WE LIVE 

AND WORK IN UNUSUAL 

TIMES, SO MUCH SO THAT 

NUMEROUS ELEMENTS 

EXIST IN SPITE OF EACH 

OTHER WHEN YOU 

CONSIDER PROPERTY. 

This now includes a state of homelessness 

for a number of New Zealanders and their 

families. Deeply serious, this situation is 

an enormous challenge for politicians and 

social services alike, and it’s something 

that seems to be so much more visible and 

obvious in different parts of the country. 

This presents against a background of 

decreased levels of affordability and home 

ownership, and is coupled with an increased 

interest in property investment. Even for an 

expert it’s a minefield of mixed messages, as 

are the daily doses of speculation you receive 

from the media about interest rates and loanto-value 

ratios. Now let’s consider some of the 

latest items of discussion. 

The Christchurch Rental Market 

The Christchurch rental market was good – 

very, very good – for a long time for some 

landlords, especially post-earthquake where 

urgent needs, insurance payments and strong 

returns drove up rental prices. The picture 

now is completely different. It was recently 

reported in The Press that some Christchurch 

landlords were offering rent reductions, or 

even short periods of no rent, as an incentive 

for tenants. 

Rents are being pushed down and 

compliance costs are going up, but landlords 

who entered into investment property 

expecting a bed of roses were being naïve. 

Today’s marketplace requires a long-term 

view (as does most investment), a fair rent, a 

realisation that smoke alarms and insulation 

are expected, and an acknowledgement that 

capital gain still underpins wealth creation. 

Rental property acquisition is more than 

a speculative process and so you learn to 

take the good with the not-so-good and, 

occasionally, ugly. 

If you’re being an unrealistic landlord and your 

property is vacant, do yourself a favour and 

address the rent! 

Affordability and First-home Ownership 

Despite the exorbitant prices of property in 

some parts of New Zealand, it’s still possible 

to purchase, but obviously compromise 

is an essential ingredient. Getting started 

is just that, and you should temper your 

expectations accordingly. 

Over the years I’ve tended to take the view 

that everyone wants everything now, without 

necessarily putting the hard work in but, 

judgement aside, finding the deposit for a first 

home is still an incredibly disciplined act. 

I’ve got to stand by sage advice that was given 

to me when we purchased our first property 

centuries ago: work hard, go without, save, 

and hope your parents can help in some way. 

I guess from that perspective nothing’s 

changed! 

Stay warm, spring is coming.

Fog pendants – Zero lighting 

tangerine Stool 

– Simon James 

Simple 

and elegant 

Georgina McCormick gives us advice on how to create a simple, elegant 

and glam kitchen that can also fulfil your family’s needs. 

Bone Bowl – tom dixon 

A kitchen is a functional space that works 

best with clean lines and just one or two 

bold materials. Once you have decided on 

a lead material – perhaps a large chunk of 

marble, or a backdrop of wooden cabinetry – 

keep the rest simple. 

If you can, create a cabinetry system that 

will hide everything from the fridge and 

dishwasher to the pantry, and all the kitchen 

accessories that usually clutter a bench. 

When the doors are closed, you are left 

with a wall of wood, a bench of marble or 

concrete, and a calm setting. 

Increasingly, the kitchen bench is becoming 

an informal place to eat breakfast or have 

a drink in the evening. With this in mind, 

design a bench top that can easily fit bar 

stools around it, and ensure you can fit your 

legs comfortably underneath. If space allows, 

a cantilevered bench enhances a sense of 

lightness and loftiness. A set of bar stools in 

a natural wooden finish, like the Tangerine 

Stool by Simon James, will complement any 

setting. 

Fittings should be kept simple. A single 

curved faucet over a sink can be a feature on 

its own. Concerning accessories, you can play 

with pendant lighting above the bench top – 

I love these Fog Pendants by Zero Lighting. 

Think of just one strong sculptural tabletop 

piece that can stay out at all times, such as 

the Tom Dixon Bone Bowl. A piece like 

this will look beautiful empty, but can also 

function as a fruit bowl.

Kitchen 

StyleS 

From contemporary to farmhouse we 

look at today’s most popular trends to 

give you all the inspiration you will need 

for a beautiful kitchen design. 

Contemporary 

a modern kitchen should be sleek, sexy and sophisticated. the design should be full 

of clever hideaways, including sculleries and integrated appliances, to keep clutter to a 

minimum. Materials such as reflective surfaces, marble, stone and exotic woods add a 

touch of luxury. often set in an open-plan environment, less is more with this design. 

Function meets family friendliness with plenty of room to work and interact. 

Country Farmhouse 

enjoy the feeling of a weekend getaway right at home 

with a country-inspired kitchen. Farmhouse tables 

and furniture create a lived-in look. Focus on a colour 

range including primary red, yellow and blue, creams 

and pale yellow. regarding room styling, mixing rather 

than matching is the country way to go. the family 

table should be placed in the heart of the kitchen to 

create a cosy family area. try to buy vintage items to 

give it the authentic rustic feel. 

traditional 

if you long for a time when materials were robust, 

and craftsmanship was king, a traditional design is 

what you are after. Look for finishes with lots of 

carving and detail. Stone or polished wooden floors 

and cream cabinetry, will obtain the look. Finishing 

touches include an aga stove, and glass-panelled or 

glass doors on cupboards. Antique-look light fixtures 

will add a special touch. the look is clean and 

comfortable with a hint of luxury.


lux living 

cuStom Seating 

This modular sofa system by Simon James perfectly meets the 

needs of modern living. A kit of separate parts, including a high 

back, low back and ottoman, lends itself to a range of different 

configurations. We love the external and internal seating 

options. 

PoweRed by the Sun 

Due to the extensive cost of heating, luxury hotels of the 

world are now starting to switch their heating source to 

solar. MGM Resorts, one of Las Vegas’s largest and most 

iconic hotel companies, has installed what is believed to be 

the largest rooftop solar array in America and the secondbiggest 

in the world. Some 20,000 solar panels now sprawl 

out across a whopping 20 acres, soaking up the scorching 

Nevada sun. 

Reality tv 

Introducing the beautiful new SUHD Samsung 

television. With a 360° minimalistic design, 

brushed metallic back and a curved profile, it 

blends effortlessly into modern living spaces. 

Its most alluring feature is its true-to-life 

quality, which creates a picture so real you 

feel you could walk right into the scene. The 

development of The Ultra Black enhanced 

panel means you can view a perfect picture 

both day and night without light interruption.

HEAT PUMPS 

FOR EVERY SPACE 

Looking to invest in a heat pump, but not sure 

which model best suits your home? HPAC has a 

wide range of Daikin heat pumps for every space. 

If you have wall space that isn’t impeded by furniture, a Daikin L 

Series floor console is your best bet. The L Series draws cool air 

from the bottom of the room and sends warm air out at the 

same low level to have it naturally rise. You’ll feel every bit of heat 

they provide. Also available is Daikin’s new Nexura floor console, 

which features a small radiant heat front panel to provide two 

types of heat. 

If you’re aiming for optimal energy efficiency, the Daikin Ururu 

Sarara (US7) range includes New Zealand’s only 7-Star rated heat 

pump in the FTXZ25NV1B. Energy efficiency isn’t the only thing 

that this flagship range of heat pumps provide. They are able to 

humidify and dehumidify the air. 

If you’re after a stylish option, we suggest the European 

designed Daikin Zena high wall series. Available in White and 

Silver, the Zena features a sweeping curved front. Slim and quiet, 

the FTXJ25PVMA is able to run at a low 19dbA. The Zena is 

sophisticated with a built in Wifi Module to allow the system to 

be operated away from home on the owner’s device. 

For the budget-conscious, the classically styled Daikin Cora 

Range is smaller than the P Series high wall range and more 

efficient. The Cora is available in the full range of sizes from a 

small 2.7kW model to a 10.3kW model. 

If entire home heating is what you need, Daikin offers a large 

range of Central Ducted and Multi Split heat pump systems that 

can be customised to your home. 

Get in touch with HPAC today to see which heat pump best 

suits your needs.

Forward 

Trends 

The prospect of warmer spring days is just around the corner, with 

lengthening daylight hours, warmer temperatures and new growth 

in the garden. It’s a good time to look at the upcoming spring and 

summer landscape design and garden trends. Landscape architect 

Craig Wilson prepares us for the season ahead. 

Landscape areas 

These are becoming increasingly 

integrated with the key living spaces 

of the home. Outdoor decks and 

patios are frequently connected to 

the living room and kitchen, forming 

an extended ‘home hub’ where the 

indoor-outdoor definition is somewhat 

blurred. The concept of the outdoor 

room will feature strongly in newseason 

projects where overhead 

structures will give the opportunity and 

flexibility to create shade where its 

most needed in the summer months. 

This concept will be continually 

enhanced as high-end fixtures, like 

display screens, fireplaces and outdoor 

kitchens, are increasingly incorporated 

into project design. Look out for a 

bit of bling, as decorative lighting 

pieces will also be introduced to these 

spaces, adding another layer of detail 

and character. 

Garden desIGn 

edible plants continue to be a feature. 

This will extend beyond the traditional 

vege garden we all know, to edibles 

used to form structural fruiting hedges 

with spring-flowering interest – think 

feijoas and blueberries. Citrus will 

continue to be popular. explore the 

likes of mandarins and lemonades 

(a navel orange and lemon cross) to 

complement the traditional lemon and 

lime, in sunny sheltered spots. 

naTIve pLanTs 

natives remain an appropriate 

response to site-specific design. The 

use of larger flax specimens will 

reduce in urban settings and smaller 

native hybrids requiring less longterm 

maintenance will become more 

popular. The increased use of native 

and exotic ferns will provide the lush, 

green look that continues to be in 

high demand. native planting will be 

integrated and blended with exotic 

specimen to create a planting aesthetic 

that reflects a greater ‘sense of place’ 

for new Canterbury gardens, with 

references to colonial and pre-colonial 

influences. Exotic perennials will be 

increasingly used to create dramatic, 

but restrained flowering colour 

highlights among large drifts of ground 

cover and shrub layer natives. 

Garden ornamenTaTIon 

Garden art and sculpture selected by 

homeowners, if thoughtfully crafted, 

will become legacy pieces that provide 

an unspoken narrative, illustrating 

the identity and life journey of those 

stewarding them.

EXTERNAL AFFAIRS 

with Tim Goom 

SpEcIALISEd 

LANdScApING: 

ThE SouTh ISLANd 

The South Island is renowned for its unsurpassed rugged beauty. In 

some of our most scenic areas, care needs to be taken to ensure a 

symbiosis exists between landscaping and the natural backdrop so 

the vista is highlighted and enhanced. 

Goom Landscapes have a significant presence in urban Christchurch with 

a multitude of projects across the city, however our Landscape Architects 

also enjoy projects further afield in some of the country’s most stunning 

locations. We work throughout the country, from Auckland all the way down 

to Invercargill, and we have found that a unique touch is needed for each area 

and its conditions. This issue focusses on the differences and peculiarities of the 

South Island in particular, as there is variation enough to speak of in just this one 

island… next month we focus on Auckland. 

Areas like Queenstown, Wanaka, Akaroa and Hanmer all have stunning views, 

yet each calls for a unique design approach in order to work within the specific 

terrain and different landscaping techniques appropriate to the climate and 

conditions. In an urban setting, strong design can stand alone as the focal point 

of the outdoor space. An understated approach is often more suitable in a rural 

setting, to create outdoor spaces that are both functional and maximise the use 

of the setting, using design and materials to respond to extreme contrasts in 

weather. Fencing options which secure your property but also preserve your 

view will be vital. 

Central Otago has some of the most brutal weather conditions in New Zealand 

- scorching summers followed by bone chilling winters. Factors to consider in 

locations prone to piercingly cold temperatures include: 

• Using specialised products such as specific pipes and irrigation systems in 

order to withstand sub zero temperatures. 

• Selecting specialised planting to survive in the harsh weather conditions. It 

is vital to plant to the climate, in this region only plantings which can hold up 

to heavy snowfall, frosts and strong winds will survive. 

• Designing to the unique conditions of the area - A Landscape Architect will 

visualise your landscape covered in a blanket of snow- like the beautiful 

Japanese gardens - so that you maintain a breathtaking outlook no matter 

what the season. 

• Maintaining ecological planting in line with the area. Not only will this 

support the continuation of some of New Zealand’s rarer plants but it 

will harmonise with the natural landscape. 

Other areas benefit from warmer temperatures than Christchurch, such as 

Banks Peninsula, which is well known for having a micro climate. These 

microclimates and pockets of warmth around the South Island offer the 

opportunity to plant species that would otherwise not be seen down here. 

Vibrant pohutakawa’s bloom throughout summer in Tai Tapu, signalling a climb 

in temperature. Nikau palms flourish in Akaroa giving a tropical feel and many 

Akaroa holiday homes will enjoy a continuous supply of varied fruits from their 

own trees in to the cooler months. Proteas and leucadendrons also thrive in 

this climate. The steep inclines on many Akaroa sections provide challenges, 

a Landscape Architect can advise on plantings and retaining to manage sharp 

slopes and avoid slips during periods of heavy rain. For those with seafront 

properties, care will need to be taken to select salt tolerant plants which can 

withstand the differing soil composition. 

Our Landscape Architects can source local product that is offered from your 

area to tie your landscape in with your community- for example, stones from 

your local quarry help tell a story of your area. 

Goom Landscapes can simplify the process of designing your landscaping from 

a distance. Whether your project is in Central Otago, Akaroa or elsewhere, 

we can organise and plan all aspects from our Christchurch offices. We have 

the capability to construct the project using our mobile team of highly skilled 

staff which we can send to your site. Goom Landscapes have a specialist for 

almost every aspect of your project, from stone masonry, to concrete placing 

to carpentry to planting. We can deliver your LifespaceTM to the highest quality 

whilst minimising your stress by organising and interfacing with all contractors.

PrESErvIng 

our heritage 

our new city is building, but the past is not forgotten. 

Sophie Brooks takes us through some of the repairs and 

incredible stories of heritage rebuilds in Christchurch. 

Cave RoCK Signal MaSt 

The iconic Cave rock, and the historical 

signal mast and shelter on top of it will 

soon be returned to the community. The 

shelter’s volcanic stone walls are being 

carefully deconstructed so that a durable, 

stainless-steel frame can be installed. The 

walls are then being cleaned and restored 

to the previous condition, with new 

windows and a repaired door. The mast 

itself is being secured and painted, and 

work is expected to finish in late October, 

of this year. 

Sign of the Kiwi 

Contractors working to repair and strengthen the 

Port Hills’ historic Sign of the Kiwi building recently 

came across an unexpected find – a message 

scrawled onto the roof lining which reads, “If we 

had of known you were coming we’d of baked a 

cake.” The line comes from the lyrics of a 1950 

Eileen Barton song, listing all the things she would 

have done had she known an unexpected visitor 

was coming. It’s believed the message was written 

in the 1950s by tradies as they battened the Sign of 

the Kiwi’s roof, intended as a message for a future 

visitor who might one day uncover it. It is expected 

that the Sign of the Kiwi will be handed back to the 

tenant towards the end of 2016. 

RoSe hiStoRiC Chapel 

Work is underway on the repair and 

restoration of Colombo Street’s rose 

Historic Chapel, which was severely 

damaged in the February 2011 earthquake. 

Higgs Construction Ltd has begun the 

12-month process of returning the 

heritage-listed chapel, previously known 

as the St Mary’s Convent Chapel, to 

its former glory. They will rebuild the 

collapsed gable walls, strengthen the roof 

and foundations, and reconstruct and 

re-install all the stained-glass windows. 

The aim is to have work completed by 

September 2017.

Benchmark Homes’ latest show home 

is testament to the new direction being 

forged by the company, says its Director 

Richard Evans. For a solid six months 

Richard and his team of innovative 

designers have been working hard to 

create a new portfolio of 30 concept 

plans that focus on functionality and form. 

“During this intensive design period we 

really challenged ourselves by asking 

how we could do things better in a cost 

effective way. The Lincoln show home 

illustrates a distinctive new style that 

characterises our ethos which prizes high 

functionality and unique design above all 

else.” 

Due to the popularity of their Prestons 

show home they adapted the executive 

style home to accommodate a family 

lifestyle. “By retaining its elegant 

contemporary style throughout and the U 

shaped living area that proved to be the 

home’s key selling point we’ve received 

overwhelmingly positive feedback that 

aligns perfectly with today’s design savvy 

consumers.” 

With a firm focus on strong design and 

high functionality, the Lincoln show home 

uses natural products like marble and 

cedar, as well as on-trend painted brick, 

which provides a unique architectural 

aspect. Richard explains that its 

architecturally driven design is evident 

in standout features like the magnificent 

vaulted ceilings, which elevates the living 

area to majestic heights. 

Energy efficiency is a key component 

of all Benchmark Homes. Using natural 

timbers like cedar from a local, sustainable 

supply, integrating LED lighting, skylights 

that add warmth and light, clever window 

placement that maximise all day sun, and 

a substantially thicker floor underlay, all 

work together to create modern homes 

that are both sustainable and economical 

to run. 

Quality control and attention to the finer 

details is what sets Benchmark Homes 

apart. Since the quakes insurers’ 

demands on building codes and 

compliance has helped raised the bar on 

quality. Producing ‘zero defect homes’ 

now provides consumers with a higher 

guarantee on the finish of their build. 

“The expectation clients have for a 

new build that’s free of imperfections is 

becoming more and more achievable. 

Our project managers take great pride in 

the work we do and ensure clients are 

given ample opportunity to assess the 

quality of the finished product, giving 

clients the utmost confidence.” 

While Benchmark Homes has a range 

of concept plans on offer, these are 

designed as a starting point for clients 

and bespoke designs that begin with a 

client’s brief enable complete creative 

control with no limitations.

• What is your exterior style? What kind of 

homes do you like? Look around and take a 

mental note of what you are drawn to most. 

• What kind of exterior materials do you like? 

Once you’ve worked out the look you like, 

research what materials are available and 

find out about their durability. 

• How will you use your house? 

It’s important to most people to have 

good indoor/outdoor flow and attractive, 

sheltered outdoor living. Imagine your 

home in various seasons. 

• Landscaping is important. Look around and 

consider what you like and don’t like. Are 

you a structured formal garden type or do 

you like a contemporary native style? 

• Sustainability and future-proofing aren’t just 

buzzwords anymore. It’s very important 

for your new home to be environmentally 

friendly. Research insulation requirements, 

solar hot water heating, ventilation options 

and new technology to ensure your home 

will be affordable to run. 

• Interior décor is really exciting. This is 

where show homes can really help you get 

to know current trends, colours, beautiful 

furnishings and furniture. Collect home 

magazines and figure out what you'd love to 

emulate. 

• Also pause to give thought to architectural 

components inside. 

Do you like a raised ceiling? What kind of 

finishing do top homes use and which styles 

are you are drawn to? 

• Heating is also a consideration. Have a look 

at what show homes are offering. 

• Kitchens form the heart of the house. Show 

homes give you insight into the latest styles, 

materials and storage facilities available. 

• Bathrooms are another big component. 

They need to be as luxurious as you can 

make them, so start dreaming...

ThE EATon 

experience 

From exhibiting with colin Mccahon to 

establishing Mountford Winery, Michael eaton 

has led an extraordinary life. 

words Anne Hudson 

Michael Eaton trained in New Zealand in the 1950s, when “change was 

in the air”. It was an exciting time to be at art school, and many of his 

contemporaries – such as Bill Culbert, John Coley, Quentin Macfarlane, 

Hamish Keith and Dick Frizzell – went on to illustrious careers in the art 

world. During this time artists began to develop a New Zealand voice. 

They were influenced by art movements in Europe and America, but 

lived and worked in New Zealand; their work portrayed the concerns of 

New Zealanders, the landscape and society. 

Like many artists, Eaton went on to teach art, first at Linwood 

High School in Christchurch and then at the Christchurch College of 

Education. There he trained many well-known artists, including Neil 

Dawson, Christine Helleyer, Graham Bennett, John Hurrell, in the art 

of teaching. His students were already art graduates and did not see 

themselves as teachers, but saw teaching as a way of making a living to 

support their art practice. 

Eaton has exhibited widely both in group and solo exhibitions. 

He recalls representing New Zealand alongside Ralph Hotere and 

Ray Thorburn at the XIth Biennale in Sao Paulo in 1971. He also 

remembers being invited, in 1964, to exhibit with now internationally 

acclaimed Colin McCahon at the Globe Theatre Gallery, Dunedin – 

he still has the catalogue. McCahon’s paintings sold for between $40 

to $60 and Eaton’s for $8. Values are very different today. The list of 

artists with whom Eaton has exhibited reads like the who’s who of 

New Zealand art. 

Personal circumstances, such as the loss of his first wife, and then 

his wine venture with his second wife Buffy, took his focus away from 

art for a while. He and Buffy established Mountford Winery in North 

Canterbury, which became the centre of their attention. The winery sold 

in 2007, and Eaton, who never gave up painting, was able to rekindle his 

talent with renewed energy. 

His approach has changed over the years. Having once been 

influenced by post-war American and English painters, he now takes 

a more direct approach to the landscape of the South Island of New 

Zealand and the outback of Australia. Eaton is an excellent colourist, his 

paintings are vivid and intense, the abstract landscapes are generic, but 

the colours and forms awaken memories of the familiar. He has worked 

in many scales and is currently working with small format work, which is 

proving popular. 

Eaton’s aesthetic sense spills into his everyday life. He is a keen jazz 

enthusiast and a collector of electric guitars, but perhaps his most 

recognisable trait is his studied sense of dress. He has a wardrobe of 

32 pairs of coloured trousers, exemplifying his love of colour, style and 

sense of fun. 

He and his wife live in North Canterbury, overlooking the Waipara 

Basin, where the colours change with the seasons and the limestone 

lands provide plenty of visual stimulation. 

Michael Eaton will be the artist in residence at Art In A Garden 2016, which 

runs October 27-30, in Flaxmere, Hawarden. Visitors will be able to view 

and discuss his work and career first hand.

Alpine Therapy 

Victoria Tait escapes the city buzz for a spot of 

relaxation and recuperation. 

Only 90 minutes’ drive from Christchurch lies the 

quaint alpine village of Hanmer Springs. The drive 

from Christchurch through Hurunui District, with 

lush forests, rolling hills of vineyards and towering 

mountains, on its own is enough to get you in the 

holiday mood. It’s drives like these that make you 

remember how lucky we are to have such exquisite 

scenery on our doorstep. 

Hanmer village itself has developed considerably 

over the years and could easily be mistaken for a 

European alpine village thanks to its boutique shops 

and diverse eateries. There are many fantastic 

accommodation options and a great range of outdoor 

and family activities including skiing, jet boating, forest 

walks and the famous hot pools and spas. Follow 

the tips on our travel guide below to ensure you 

experience the best of Hanmer. 

stay. 

Situated at 20 Chisholm Crescent, The St James is a 5-star 

Qualmark-rated hotel. Choose from deluxe studios, executive 

spa studios, to one- and two-bedroom apartments that feature 

kitchens and luxurious fixtures and furnishings. A 10-minute drive 

from Hanmer’s centre, Select Braemar Lodge is a luxury spa resort 

offering stunning views across the valley towards the mountains 

and alpine forests. Complete with spa facilities and an excellent 

restaurant, it’s the perfect location for a romantic weekend. The 

Heritage Hanmer Springs Hotel is situated right in the heart of 

the village and offers fantastic service and facilities ideal for families. 

Village Lake Apartments are only a stroll away from the thermal 

pools and spa. It’s luxury 5-star accommodation with 13 two- and 

three-bedroom apartments from which to choose. 

ExpEriEncE. 

Jet boat down the spectacular Waiau Gorge for an unforgettable 

experience. Not for the faint-hearted, a bungy jump off the historic 

135-year-old Waiau Ferry Bridge includes a 35-metre freefall. Take 

a forest walk – the Conical Hill route is about an hour round trip 

and provides great views of the valley and into the forest behind. The 

Hanmer Forest trail is relatively flat and ideal for walkers and bikers, 

about a 20-minute walk from the main street. Take an afternoon 

wander through the shopping village, or hire a tandem bike and 

take the whole family for a ride through the township. Hanmer 

Springs Thermal Pools and Spa are perfect for melting away any 

stress, aches or pains. The spa has a wide variety of pools for both 

fun and relaxation including 12 open-air thermal pools, six private 

indoor thermal pools, and three sulphur pools. Recent studies have 

shown that the thermal water takes 173 years to reach the pools. 

This means the water in which you bathe fell as rain and snow on 

the mountains of Hanmer 173 years ago – you can’t get much purer 

than that. 

Eat. 

Hanmer Springs has a large selection of eateries, from cafés and 

takeaways to more formal dining. Some of our top-rated destinations 

include: the art deco-inspired Eden Restaurant (formerly Chantellinis) 

with its private dining rooms, Fives Stags for its hunting lodge 

feel, the quaint cottage that is No. 31 Restaurant and Bar, and 

picturesque Altitude Restaurant and Bar (at Braemar Lodge) that 

boasts floor-to-ceiling windows. Corianders offers authentic Indian 

cuisine, Rustic Café & Tapas Bar has excellent coffee and great 

breakfast, and the Hanmer Fish and Chip Shop we love for its 

café-style cut chips. 

shop. 

Retail therapy is easy with a fantastic selection of contemporary 

shops. LifeStyles Hanmer Springs is on hand if you find your swimsuit 

completely out-of-date, while Mhor and Rhom will have you kitted 

out in style, as both offer high-end brands such as Loobie’s Story, 

Verge and David Pond. Complete the look with some Beau Coops 

heels or a Status Anxiety wallet from Mirror Mirror Boutique. Don’t 

think the kids will be missing out, either, with Stylish Baby & Child 

stocking the adorable Pretty Brave range of shoes, as well as designer 

clothing labels, such as Kiwi brand Triangle, and a wide range of toys. 

Offering jewellery as well as art of all varieties, Majuba Gallery is an 

ever-changing contemporary art space, while Up The Garden Path 

has a café in the gift shop that sources a range of homeware, gifts 

and accessories. Looking for something for the home? You will want 

to have a browse through Homestead Interiors, with its decadent 

selection of furniture and homewares, and more.

you know it takes the earth 173 years to gently 

heat the famous thermal waters and infuse them 

with minerals? new research recently revealed the 

age of the thermal water. That means the water 

pumped into the pools today, fell as rain in 1843… 

no wonder it feels so good. If you haven’t visited

Mighty Mustang 

Ross Kiddie drives the exciting North American muscle car. 

Even though my first Ford Mustang drive was 45 years ago, it was an 

experience I’ll never forget, and it reinforced my enthusiasm and desire 

for the quintessential North American muscle car. 

That Mustang was a 1970 Boss 302, and it belonged to my sister’s 

boyfriend, who was based in Christchurch as part of the United States’ 

Operation Deep Freeze programme. It was left-hand-drive, and I was 

fortunate enough to take it south for a few miles and return to my 

rural home near Rolleston. 

I’ve had a few Mustang drives since, all courtesy of Ford New 

Zealand, as right-hand-drive cars have become available on the local 

market. My latest experience was in the sixth-generation model just 

launched here, and it was as if nothing has changed, the newcomer 

epitomises the early cars wearing that badge – design, concept, and 

performance. 

When you study the new pony car in depth, it has all of the 

characteristics of the past; it has been deliberately designed to 

encapsulate retrospective looks, and the detailing is most certainly 

traditional. 

Mechanically, it carries familiarity as well, although the engineering 

is most definitely state-of-the-art. There is just a little bit of a 

raw, aggressive edge, which, as a driver, makes you relate to its 

predecessors. 

The newcomer even has a 5-litre (302 cubic inch) V8 engine. 

The following services are available 

• Servicing - Lube and Tune • Fuel Injection 

• Auto - Electrical • Transmission Servicing 

• Brake Servicing • WOF Repairs • Suspension repairs 

• Engine Reconditioning • Pre-Purchase appraisal

However, it can also be purchased with a turbocharged, 2.3-litre 

unit, which, from my experience with the Ecoboost four-cylinder 

series, would certainly be up to the task with its 233kW and 432Nm 

outputs. 

Nevertheless, it’s the V8 that appeals to me, and I wasn’t 

disappointed. It pumps out a hefty 306kW along with 530Nm of 

torque. In true V8 fashion, it works away with a tantalising growl and 

bark out the exhaust pipes. 

There is the choice of a six-speed automatic transmission or sixspeed 

manual through to the rear wheels, and there are no surprises 

there, but what the Mustang does deliver is an involving driving 

experience. It is responsive and eager, and has electronic modes 

which the driver can set to personal preference, and there’s even a 

track mode if you want to go drifting at Ruapuna in the weekend. 

Therein lies a little secret; the Mustang in this form is quite lively at 

the rear, it's easy to test tyre grip with power on, and although the 

traction control systems are there to intervene they are non-invasive, 

and you can initiate oversteer to a certain level. 

It’s easy to see why that is obtainable. With those healthy power 

outputs, the ingredients are in place for spirited motoring. 

And the newcomer handles expertly; there is a lot of rubber 

on the road with its 19in Pirelli tyres and grip is adequate, unless 

vigorous throttle application is requested. Up front the turn-in is 

direct, and accuracy into a corner is decisive. 

I took the test car on a State Highway 72 run from Loburn to 

the Malvern Hills. It was the first week of winter, and a frost made 

me very wary of ice on the shaded corners. I needn’t have worried 

as the Mustang is directional and controllable, there is just enough 

mechanical sophistication within the suspension and chassis design 

so that the driver can push hard with confidence. Incidentally, the 

suspension is a fully independent set-up, long gone is the Mustang’s 

live rear axle. 

The combination of power and handling is enticing. I left the 

normal drive setting active for most of my time in the test car; I 

didn’t feel it needed anything more spirited. 

I pushed fairly hard during testing time. The sound of that big V8 

is glorious, yet the fuel usage wasn’t excessive, I took the test car 

back showing a 14l/100km (20mpg) average. That fits well with 

Ford’s 12.6l100km (22mpg) claim. At 100km/h it sips away at around 

8l/100km (35mpg) with the rev counter showing just 1800rpm in 

sixth gear.

The new range starts in New 

Zealand at $59,880 for the 2.3-litre, 

bearing in mind there is also a 

convertible option that adds around 

$5000 for each engine variant. The 

V8 GT fastback lands at $77,880 

for both the manual and automatic 

gearbox options. It is fully specced 

with Ford’s most up-to-date 

technology. And while it has a good 

specification, it’s a car only two 

occupants can enjoy. Ford market 

the Mustang as a 2+2, and effectively 

that is what it is; two youngsters 

could be seated comfortably in the 

rear, but it is not an area in which 

adults would enjoy being. 

Up front, though, it’s a different 

story. The seats are glorious and 

the suspension absorbent even over 

Christchurch’s broken roads. 

But its on the highway where the 

Mustang excels; it is a purposeful and 

capable high-country charger, and it 

has just so much appeal it captures 

attention everywhere. 

Ford in the United States is on a 

campaign to relaunch retrospective 

concepts. With the new Mustang 

being so incredibly successful, it’s 

only a matter of time before other 

icons of the muscle car age roll off 

the production line.

Hollywood Glam 

Sophie Matthews gives us her step-by-step guide to 

creating this new ‘it’ look – the low bun. 

This is a great versatile look that works on hair of any length and texture. By 

using products, you can change the look and feel of the style from sleek and 

smooth to a more textured and carefree look. Add your favourite accessory 

– a headband, chain or scarf – to complete this glam Hollywood look.

THE ‘IT’ lOOK: 

lOW Bun 

Step 1 

On washed dried hair, 

apply a light spray of a 

heat-activated texturiser 

(I recommend Redken 

Fabricate), dry this into 

your hair using a blowdryer. 

Create a wave in the 

hair by either using curling 

irons or straighteners. 

Thoroughly apply a dry 

powder finishing spray – 

Kevin Murphy Doo.Over 

works well. Then, softly 

tease the area around 

the crown. 

Step 2 

Place a stretchy headband 

over the top of your head/ 

hair. The front of the band 

can either be across the 

middle of your forehead or 

across your hairline. 

Step 3 

Starting from your side 

hairline, just by your ear, 

grab a 5cm section of 

hair. Pull that section up, 

over and then it under the 

headband. Tuck the ends 

of the section of the band 

to secure it to the head; 

longer hair may need to 

wrap around more than 

once. When hair is all 

wrapped, you can pull out 

pieces of hair to loosen the 

look, if you choose. 

Step 4 

Pinching the crown area 

up slightly will give you 

more volume. Secure with 

bobby pins where needed, 

and finish with an extreme 

hold hairspray. I’ve used, 

Redken 32 Extreme High 

Hold Spray. 

CreatinG PerfeCt BrowS 

With so many brow shapes and products on the market, it’s easy to get confused. 

We’ve spoken to the experts and have some essential tips on brow care. 

WORDS Victoria tait 

From choosing the 

right tone and shape to selecting 

products that suit your skill 

level, the road to brow 

perfection can seem full of 

twists and turns. let us show 

you the way, following this 

season’s trend of natural 

full-shaped brows. 

tone ShapeS texture 

Dark block brows 

are out. look for 

a colour tone that 

is similar if not 

lighter than your 

hair colour. A great 

tool to use to aid 

you with this is the 

interactive online 

‘Benefit Brows 

Explorer’ 

(visit www. 

ballantynes.co.nz and 

click on the Benefit 

link). 

Or ask a beauty 

expert at your 

preferred beauty 

counter. 

The best way to 

determine your 

natural brow shape 

is to leave your 

brows unplucked for 

at least six to eight 

weeks. Through this, 

you will achieve a 

natural brow growth 

pattern, rather than 

forcing brows into 

an unnatural shape. 

Work with what 

nature has given 

you! Shapes include 

straight, like natalie 

Portman, arched 

like Katy Perry, or 

rounded like Jennifer 

lopez. 

Several different techniques and products add depth 

and denseness to your eyebrows. When filling in brows, 

remember to use a product that is a touch lighter and more 

muted than your brow hair colour to achieve a natural look. 

pencils – Choose one with a very fine tip in order to create small 

strokes that mimic actual hairs, to keep the look as natural as possible. 

Brush and powder – use these to produce a slightly heavier look, 

which you can combat by working the product into your brows with 

a brush. 

Brow Markers – These offer maximum impact and are ideal for 

reconstructing shape. 

finiShing toucheS 

Brow gels are a must for thinner brows as they 

amplify the texture and make them appear thicker. 

If you have thick unruly brows, a gel is all you need to 

define your shape. Highlight under your brow to lift it and 

enhance all that hard work. Make sure you choose a product 

you are comfortable with. If you’re a beginner, start with a simple 

product such as Benefit Goof Proof and build towards the more 

advanced products.

Winter Wellness 

SolutionS 

Holistic health and fitness specialist Elly McGuinness gives 

us her top wellness tips for the keeping healthy during the 

cooler months. 

there are plenty of things to enjoy over the winter months, including 

cosy fires, warm slippers, snowboarding and mulled wine. Here are some 

suggestions and top nutrition and exercise choices to ensure you keep well 

during this last part of winter. 

1. SoupS and SpiceS 

Spices are the essence of flavoursome, delicious meals, and they are full of 

health benefits. Look for recipes that include chilli, cumin, turmeric or ginger as 

great options to warm you up and boost your health. Another warming spice 

is cinnamon – excellent for sprinkling over porridge in the morning. 

A lot of nutrition and flavour can be packed into a homemade soup. It’s 

also an easy dish to double in size, split into separate portions and then freeze 

for later. 

2. plenty of hot drinkS 

Be mindful to limit caffeine-containing beverages, such as tea and coffee, and 

instead try these alternatives: 

Lemon and honey. Squeeze half a lemon into a mug, add ½-1 teaspoon of 

honey, and top with hot water for a health-boosting tonic. Add ginger and/or 

chilli for an extra kick. 

herbal teas. Brew your own whenever possible, or opt for organic herbs 

in unbleached tea bags to support your health. One of my favourites is 

chamomile, which can help promote relaxation.

3. Get outSide for exerciSe 

There’s something truly invigorating about getting out and 

walking, or biking in the rain over the winter months. Maybe 

it’s the reward of a hot shower and cosy slippers that come 

afterwards, or maybe it’s the mental wellbeing obtained from 

being out in nature during the months of the year in which we 

tend to spend more time indoors. 

There’s no such thing as ‘bad weather’ – just inappropriate 

clothing. So, dress to the weather, get outside, breathe in that 

fresh air, and reap the benefits for your physical and mental 

wellbeing. 

4. try a new form of indoor exerciSe 

There will probably still be days during this time of year when 

you think it’s just “too cold” or “too rainy” to be outside, but 

you’re still looking for something to stimulate and strengthen 

your body. Don’t wait until the New Year to start a new activity. 

Check out what your local area offers by way of: 

indoor court hire – try out badminton, squash, volleyball or 

basketball at a local court (e.g. YMCAs have facilities like these) 

and enjoy quality time with friends and family as part of your 

fitness package. 

Gyms, sports centres and studios – most offer group fitness 

classes, personal training and sometimes heated swimming pool 

facilities. 

Something different – consider ice skating, ceroc or another type 

of dancing, or an indoor climbing wall. 

Winter is the time when summer bodies are made. The 

strength, cardiovascular fitness and aesthetic results you enjoy 

in the warmer months come as a result of the efforts you 

put in now. A healthy and active lifestyle requires year-round 

commitment. Choose one small healthy habit to add today and 

take one step further on your journey towards optimal health.

Cream of the Crop 

For one spectacular night, Maddison’s Restaurant held a special degustation 

menu highlighting the best of what our region can produce. 

wORdS Vanessa ORtynsky 

Paddock to Plate is a seasonal event that 

showcases the region’s best produce 

and wine. Held at The Heritage Hotel’s 

Maddison’s Restaurant, the inaugural dinner 

saw Christchurch foodies gather to indulge in 

an unforgettable degustation menu complete 

with carefully selected wine pairings. with 

every ingredient sourced locally, the meal 

was impeccable from start to finish. 

Family-style dinners are a cause for 

celebration, and the evening kicked off 

accordingly. Guests were warmly greeted 

with glasses of bubbles and invited to settle 

into seats around a large communal table. 

The environment at Maddison’s is refined 

and sophisticated, yet unpretentious. The 

restaurant was buzzing with excitement, 

as though we had uncovered one of 

Christchurch’s best-kept secrets. 

Sitting down to enjoy the first of seven 

mouth-watering courses, guests were 

expertly guided through the wine pairings by 

the team from Pegasus Bay wines. Beginning 

with tuatua with buckwheat custard and 

macadamia served with Pegasus Bay 

Gewürztraminer, the entrée set the standard 

for a mouth-watering evening. 

Maddison’s chef Simo Abbari and his team 

elaborated on the exquisite dishes as they 

continuously appeared from the kitchen. 

Next up, and one of the evening’s standout 

tasting plates: fresh market fish tartare 

with corn curd, popped corn, miso butter, 

and seaweed. It was light and perfectly 

matched with a glass of Pegasus Bay Semillon 

Sauvignon. 

The evening showed no sign of winding 

down, as the guests became better 

acquainted over duck and quail pastilla, 

sweetened with pear, orange and cucumber 

salad. Before tucking into the line-caught 

ikejime-culled fish, with barley broth, fennel 

slaw, and a barley cracker, we cleansed our 

palates with orange and carrot juice. 

For me, the highlight of the evening 

was the sorbet, with smoked chardonnay 

crème fraîche snow, prepared using liquid 

nitrogen at the table. It was a sight to behold, 

prompting phones out of the pockets of 

every blogger and Instagrammer at the table. 

And the meal didn’t end there; we were also 

served deconstructed apple crumble topped 

with freshly foraged pine and yoghurt, and 

finally, an entirely unique frozen cheese 

parfait. Ending the meal on a savoury note 

was unexpectedly satisfying. 

The careful, appreciative tasting of a 

degustation menu is a luxury, and Maddison’s 

played the most polished host. As the 

extended meal drew to a close, guests 

lingered as new friends, having shared the 

experience of such a remarkable meal. 

Christchurch’s culinary game is constantly 

reinventing itself and those looking to 

experience a spectacular soirée should find 

themselves at Paddock to Plate’s next event.

Thai WiTh a TwisT 

Vanessa Ortynsky explores this sleek, elegant Thai restaurant on Victoria Street. 

PhoTograPhy CHARLIE JACKSON 

Kum Pun Thai is a contemporary Thai 

restaurant and beer garden in the heart 

of Victoria Street’s thriving entertainment 

district. The sleek, elegant interior makes 

a statement, and reminds you that this 

isn’t just your neighbourhood Thai 

restaurant. 

The setting is a wonderful place to 

unwind and take in your surroundings, 

both indoors and out. The spacious beer 

garden overlooks the bustling Victoria 

Street and, during the winter months, it 

allows for premium bicycle parking for 

diners who choose to pedal their way 

to dinner. 

The extensive menu delights the 

senses, featuring everything from prawn 

pad Thai to soft shell crab and roast duck. 

i opt for massaman curry and fresh rolls. 

our meals emerge from the kitchen in 

the most spectacular fashion – stunning 

visual masterpieces that we both admire 

before our first bites. Less traditional 

than expected, the curry comes with 

slow-braised lamb shank and kumara 

mash, providing a Kiwi twist on the Thai 

specialty. on the side, instead of rice, is a 

sheaf of crispy noodles, which pairs well 

with the lamb. The fresh rolls are filled 

with vegetables and tofu. Served with 

sweet hoisin sauce, they are devoured 

instantly. 

To top off your meal, try one of the 

authentic dessert items. We had black 

sticky rice with ice cream of the day. 

a Byo restaurant, Kum Pun also 

features an all-encompassing wine and 

beer list and intriguing cocktails to impress 

even the most discerning of palates. 

The ambience at Kum Pun is formal 

yet friendly, ideal for both date night or 

spontaneous drinks with friends. Service 

is attentive, but not overbearing. our 

waitress patiently explained the menu and 

made knowledgeable suggestions. 

While Thai food isn’t a rarity in 

Christchurch, Kum Pun Thai offers 

an experience unlike the rest. With 

delightfully flavoursome food and warm 

service, the presentation is really what 

blew us away.

Jamie and Jasmine’s 

Wedding 

A picture-perfect thirty-degree Christchurch day 

was the scene for Jamie Gough and Jasmine Lange 

to say “I do” at the Christ’s College Chapel before 

around 100 of their closest friends and family on 

Saturday 5 March. 

An exquisite Monique Lhuillier-gowned Jasmine 

arrived by vintage Rolls-Royce to an awaiting Jamie 

Gough, dressed in tailor-made Working Style tails. 

Rev. Peter Beck, the chapel choir, organist and 

church bells set the tone for the traditional ceremony. 

The bridal party had wedding photographs at 

Mona Vale, the historic family homestead and former 

private residence of Jamie’s great-grandfather, 

while guests were transported by city trams to the 

Canterbury Club where they enjoyed Champagne 

and canapés on the terrace accompanied by a jazz 

quartet. 

The formal black-tie reception included a sixcourse

BaLLantynes’ new accessories 

DePartment oPens 

Even though the night was chilly, the welcome was warm at Ballantynes 

when the new Accessories Department was officially opened. Trays of 

appetite-seducing temptations were circulated along with flutes of 

bubbling bliss, before the red ribbon was severed, permitting guests 

to peruse. Scarves, hats and hosiery plus all the items necessary to 

complete a lady's look were on abundant display, the pool of outfitenhancing 

treasure ready to be plunged into. The enjoyment continued 

as the offered delicacies meandered like a trail of fine taste, leading 

the assembly to the evening’s conclusion, then the path home and to 

dreams of fashionable possibilities.

Jaguar F-Pace Launch 

On an evening transported from an English summer to a New Zealand 

winter – in other words, wet – all things British were being celebrated at the 

Christchurch Art Gallery. Within the Union Jack strewn haven of class, the 

latest model from that epitome of motoring excellence, Jaguar, was being 

launched. As pictures of Britain’s cultural stalwarts gazed down, the covers 

were whipped away and the steel big cats roared, proclaiming their place as 

sovereigns of the highways. The time has now come for vehicles of less noble 

lineage to pull over in deference to these fab felines of the open roads and 

for discerning motorists to loudly proclaim, Rule Britannia!

25th AnniversAry 

A wonderland of elegance beckoned, drawing the attention and 

seducing the eyes of guests stepping in from the windswept street. 

Within the sanctum of style, conversation flourished and luscious fluids 

in glasses caught snippets of light, transforming into stars. The party 

paused only for owner Debbie Cavit to present her self-written book, 

celebrating her 25-year journey in the pursuit of design excellence. The 

elements of furniture, fabric and art escorted the senses on an odyssey 

of design possibilities, to create the perfect home environment, a cut 

above all others.

AntArctic Mid-Winter celebrAtion 

There are times when Christchurch feels like the coldest place on earth, especially on a chilly night 

but it is nothing compared to Antarctica, the continent celebrated on this year’s mid winter. As the 

wind sliced like a razor’s shivery edge, guests boarded the Hagglund for a thrilling, angular and hairraising 

ride around the obstacle course at the International Antarctic Centre. Deposited safely back on 

flat ground, they were welcomed to the U.S. Antarctic Passenger Terminal, for the very first party of its 

kind to be held there. Food and drink themed to the occasion flowed abundantly and as this was a 

very Scottish Tartan Club event, glorious whisky was celebrated as the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s 

recently discovered cache of the golden treasure was told. The Antarctic Heritage Trust and The Hororata 

Community Trust, did themselves proud staging such an event. You really ought to have been there!

On the evening Jing Song’s Pinot Noir named China Girl 

was launched at Strowan House, St Andrew’s College, each 

tongue which tasted the deep red delight, was baptised 

into a new awareness of vinous excellence. Born on the 

vine and nurtured by the loving hand of winemaker, Jing 

Song, the grape’s offspring was transformed into this joyful 

liquid. From vat to bottle and thence to glass, the progress 

of this trove of fluid treasure is an adventure which, recalled 

with each sip, appears set to make this Christchurch winter 

much cosier.

Wearing a mantle of prosperity, Victoria Street now looks 

every inch a highway of business and it was from one 

of the newly erected towers of commerce that First New 

Zealand Capital announced their presence. Leaving the 

rain-anointed pavement, guests entered the elegant suite 

to be welcomed and take the opportunity to explore the 

contemporary-art-adorned offices. An air of merriment lit 

the chambers in which the dignified pursuits of business 

and investment are usually conducted, to refresh those 

weary from their endeavours. As speeches concluded, it 

became timely to raise celebratory glasses and to toast 

the success of the new Christchurch office.

Living with an 

AUCTIoN ADDICT 

Like any addiction, there are different levels of 

users; which I have categorised into three for 

the common Trade Me addict. 

1 – The Dabbler: A once-in-a-while user that 

has bouts of withdrawal, but will binge to feed 

their addiction for an item they must have. 

2 – The Regular: Always 

in the game, with regular 

hits of favourite items to 

feed their craving; the 

sensible user if you will. 

3 – The Marriage: 

Complete and utter 

commitment with 

multiple devices, till death 

do them part. 

“Good morning 

honey,” is whispered in 

the early break of the 

morning. You smile and 

respond: “Good morning.” But alas, that term 

of endearment has been projected to a ‘BP’ 

– no, not a Beloved Partner, but a Battery- 

Powered object. The addict must check their 

listings, bids are still current and – oh the joy 

“Remember that just 

because you hit 

bottom doesn't mean you 

have to stay there.” 

– RobeRt Downey JR 

– if there have been new listings overnight for 

the desired purchase. 

Competitiveness could be used as an 

excuse for the user, with this becoming 

about the game rather than the result; about 

the adrenaline that flows in the grappling of 

outbidding and forcing the 

other bidders into painful 

submission. 

To the neglected, how 

does one wean their 

loved one’s addiction 

from this hypnotic 

website? How to combat 

the lust and desire 

it generates with its 

provocative imagery and 

promises of fulfilment 

with one sweeping stroke 

of the Buy Now button? 

Talk. I know, radical, but funnily enough, it 

does work. Establish how long is acceptable 

while you are together for the user to get his 

(or her) quick fix. 

Now don’t get me wrong, I am definitely 

in the 

category 

of The 

Dabbler. 

We all 

need 

our hits at some point, I get that. But at 

some point, the erratic frenzy of the swipe 

or scroll of the chosen electronic screen 

needs to reach a breaking point. It might be 

time to acknowledge the dimming light of 

a relationship that Mistress (Trade Me) has 

taken control of. Close the app, minimise the 

screen and start Buying Now on your quality 

relationship time rather than hoping the item 

will Relist if you miss it. Because, one day, it 

may just be picked up by another User, while 

you’re not watching!
