<strong>Style</strong> explores the best of Christchurch, giving readers the opportunity to<br />

develop and celebrate their individual style in life, home and fashion. A monthly<br />

publication, <strong>Style</strong> is presented on high-grade gloss stock with a hard cover.<br />

Delivered flow-wrapped to top real estate value homes around Christchurch,<br />

<strong>Style</strong> targets readers with a high disposable income. Designed to inspire,<br />

<strong>Style</strong> has a lengthy shelf life that offers excellent value for your advertising choice.<br />

AUGUST <strong>2017</strong><br />

Welcome to the <strong>August</strong> issue of <strong>Style</strong>,<br />

In this issue, we focus on all things art and design, starting with page<br />

17, where we pay tribute to Denis Savill, Australasia’s most prominent art<br />

dealer. Sadly, after 40 years in the industry, he will be closing the doors on<br />

his Sydney art gallery. Born and bred in Canterbury, Savill’s story shows us<br />

that passion and determination that are driving forces behind success.<br />

In our report, we will take you on a tour around some of New Zealand's<br />

most spectacular resorts. From Hawke’s Bay to Canterbury, we discover what<br />

makes an exceptional resort – the images alone will take your breath away.<br />

Do you need renovation inspiration? If so, look no further than page<br />

28, where we take a house tour of a stunning rebuild in Heaton Street,<br />

Merivale. With the owners saying goodbye to a classic art deco house after<br />

the earthquakes, it's brilliant to see that new design and builds in the city are<br />

creating as much charm as their classic counterparts.<br />

As always, we keep you up to date with fashion and beauty news, with<br />

some exciting new developments and relocations in Christchurch. And, after<br />

a harsh winter, your inner health might be a little sluggish, so I suggest reading<br />

our wellbeing section on prebiotics and probiotics – it’s important to know<br />

the difference.<br />

Finally, if you are planning a luxury escape or a winter pampering session,<br />

be sure to read our etiquette column on how not to act...<br />

Le Creuset is celebrating life in vivid colour with the newest additions to their iconic kitchenware range. This new collection speaks of exotic<br />

aromas and warming spices and introduces a new line of spice-influenced products to the Le Creuset range, including spice tagines, woks, balti<br />

dishes, Indian condiment pots, spice grinders and more.<br />

This winter it appears everyone is going chocolate-mad including Mac’s Beer, who have released a new chocolate stout. Kurt Gross, brewer<br />

and Lion Beer Ambassador says: “This is not ‘confectionary’ chocolate, so don’t be expecting a chocolate bar in a bottle – this is stone ground,<br />

rich, bittersweet (70% cacao) hand-packed and the highest quality – nothing but the best for our fans!”<br />

Nail-care experts Essie have called upon the fabulous mod culture of the sixties to create a gorgeous collection of limited-edition nail<br />

colours. We love the frosted peach of ‘Oh Behave’ and the peacock blue of ‘Satin Sister’.<br />

FIND.<br />

Rumour has it The Arts Centre is liaising with six domestic and<br />

international hotel operators about operating a potential arts-themed,<br />

boutique 32-room hotel on the site. The proposed hotel will be<br />

located within the former Physics and Biology buildings and the ground<br />

floor of the adjacent Observatory Tower.<br />

A new charitable initiative has launched to help rehome some of<br />

the hundreds of dogs rescued annually in Canterbury from situations<br />

of abuse and neglect. The website replacethem.co.nz takes the<br />

quirky approach of matching dogs with the physical characteristics<br />

of children of potential adopters. The campaign has several local pet<br />

charities involved including Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust, K9 Rescue and<br />

Rehoming, and Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue, in a bid to have empty<br />

nesters ‘replace’ their children with rescue dogs.<br />

The New Zealand International Film Festival launches in Christchurch on <strong>August</strong> 3. Get<br />

ready for another great line-up that includes films focusing on a famous jewellery designer,<br />

an iconic Kiwi band, and the much-anticipated Helen Clark documentary that’s already<br />

Looking for some winter pampering? Thai Day Spa Lotus At Siam has been awarded<br />

the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for Spas and Wellness in Christchurch <strong>2017</strong>. This<br />

award is voted on by their clients, which mean the team has worked very hard to ensure a<br />

world-class pampering experience. We hear the ELEMIS Thousand Flower Detox Wrap is<br />

a must-try.<br />

INDULGE.<br />

In the last month of winter, take advantage of the chill in<br />

the air to enjoy our winter drink of choice – mulled wine.<br />

Our favourite variations can be found at Smash Palace<br />

Coffee connoisseurs, we have a destination for you.<br />

Engine Coffee Brewers, 270 St Asaph Street, is offering<br />

tasting trays that highlight not only different coffees, but<br />

brew methods, too. After a flat white, long black and<br />

filter coffee, each made differently, you’re sure to leave<br />

on a high.<br />

If you are a fan of the Curator’s House, you’ll know the<br />

dishes are a cut above thanks to their range of traditional<br />

Spanish goods. Now, you can get your fix of Iberico<br />

cured meats and European groceries from the Curator’s<br />

Deli at 301 Montreal Street (Arts Centre’s Registry<br />

RESTAURANT MANAGER<br />

What’s the dish on the menu you are most<br />

excited about?<br />

How can I say no to anything? Damn Asian<br />

flavours – you beaut! But out of all the dishes,<br />

I just can’t wait for the vegetarian options on<br />

our menu – they look delish!<br />

What motivates you?<br />

Bring on the good vibes and I’ve got tons of<br />

good times. Positivity is my herbal syrup.<br />

Sally Hooper<br />

OWNER<br />

What is your biggest addiction?<br />

Travelling to new cities and eating, and eating.<br />

We do this several times a year and we are<br />

lucky our addiction has become our living.<br />

It constantly inspires us to make new spots<br />

in the rebuild which hopefully Cantabs love<br />

going to with family and friends. Already we<br />

are planning the next spot, so I guess creating<br />

new restaurant concepts is our addiction, too.<br />

What do you do to relax?<br />

Snuggle up on sofa with a glass of wine<br />

(although I’m seven months pregnant so<br />

recently it’s been coconut water) and browse<br />

through food magazines/recipe books for<br />

inspiration of what I can cook.<br />

Sam Hooper<br />

OWNER<br />

What is one food you wouldn’t want<br />

to give up?<br />

That’s a hard question as, like Sally<br />

mentioned, we love to travel and eat and<br />

eat, but if I had to choose just one, it would<br />

have to be the obvious answer of dumplings!<br />

What fortune would you want to get<br />

from a fortune cookie?<br />

I believe that we are pretty fortunate living<br />

here in this city with so many opportunities<br />

to help grow, but my favourite: Wise<br />

husband is one who thinks twice before<br />

saying nothing.

ART<br />

CLOSE TO THE<br />

After 40 years working as Australasia’s premier art dealer, Canterbury-born<br />

Denis Savill will shut the door on his Sydney gallery. <strong>Style</strong> pays tribute to<br />

the achievements and diversity of his career.<br />

Words Naomi Spinsby-Wild

18 STYLE | interview<br />

It was a novel about Vincent van Gogh, plucked from a library shelf<br />

during a cold Canterbury winter that first piqued a 14-year-old<br />

Denis Savill’s interest in the world of art. Brought up on a high country<br />

sheep station outside of Hanmer Springs, Savill spent much of his<br />

childhood in Christchurch, boarding first at Medbury, then at Christ’s<br />

College during his formative years.<br />

A desire to see the world saw 20-something Denis travel<br />

throughout Europe before settling in London, where he was reintroduced<br />

to art when a friend encouraged him to get involved<br />

with a nearby auction room, which happened to sell many works of<br />

Australian and New Zealand origin.<br />

Not quite finished with travelling, however, the young Kiwi soon<br />

moved to Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia), where he talked his way into a<br />

job with an auction house. The work was diverse and varied, with lots<br />

that ranged from livestock and real estate to, yes, art. Savill was one of<br />

the few who recognised the investment potential of the works he saw,<br />

commenting, “I was fascinated by these paintings, bearing in mind what<br />

I’d been told in London.”<br />

By the 1970s, Savill had relocated to Sydney and was making waves<br />

in the art scene, quickly establishing himself as both a knowledgeable<br />

art dealer and a shrewd investor. Well ahead of his time, he<br />

recognised the value of Australasian art, and began building up a<br />

collection of works by a diverse range of artists.<br />

Purchasing Gordon Marsh Gallery in 1981, after a couple of years<br />

spent working as a private art dealer, Savill swiftly began carving out<br />

a name for himself within the industry. He caught national and global<br />

attention when, the following year, he set a record for the most<br />

expensive painting ever sold in Australia, a work by J.A. Turner that<br />

fetched $350,000.<br />

Savill confirmed his presence in the Australasian art scene by renaming<br />

and re-branding the gallery to the name it has now operated<br />

under for the last 30 years, the eponymous Savill Galleries, based in<br />

Sydney’s sought-after inner-city suburb of Paddington. Throughout<br />

the 1980s and ’90s he worked tirelessly to build up his collection,<br />

acquiring works by such respected Australian painters as Charles<br />

Blackman, Lloyd Rees and Arthur Boyd, among many others. As well<br />

as advancing his career, Savill also formed deep connections with the<br />

artists he encountered, building friendships that would go on to last a<br />

lifetime.<br />

Savill’s work has continued to command respect throughout his<br />

career, with his collection only strengthening as time has gone on.<br />

A benefactor as well, Savill has recently donated more than 200<br />

artworks to galleries throughout Australia, re-affirming his commitment<br />

to public art.<br />

In recent years, the now 76-year-old Savill has been contemplating<br />

the future of his business, and has reached the difficult decision to slowly<br />

wind down both his gallery and his presence in the salesroom.<br />

Reflecting on his long career, Savill calls to mind his dear friend, the<br />

artist Arthur Boyd, a man he regarded as a “true gent”. Recalling a<br />

conversation between them, Savill muses, “Arthur told me, ‘You’re a<br />

great acquirer, but there will come a time when you’ll feel free to give<br />

it away, you’ll feel like you’re unloading.’” Savill admits that he couldn’t<br />

understand the sentiment at the time, but as the years have passed<br />

since that conversation, Boyd’s words have come to resonate with<br />

him more and more, and have guided him in his decision to take more<br />

of a back seat in the art world. When asked how he feels about letting<br />

go of the art that has defined his life’s work, he replies with a laugh,<br />

“How come that’s the best question, and the hardest one to answer?”<br />

Of the works he’s handled over the years, he says, “They’re dear to<br />

my heart, but you can’t take them upstairs with you.”<br />

Savill partnered with respected auction house Sotheby’s last year to<br />

sell a selection of his accumulated works, including those by Charles<br />

Blackman and Sidney Nolan. The auction garnered a huge amount of<br />

interest not only from those looking to acquire the available pieces,<br />

but also from those wishing to acknowledge the reputation and legacy<br />

Savill has built over the decades. The chairman of Sotheby’s Australia,<br />

Geoffrey Smith, used the opportunity to pay tribute to Savill’s<br />

enduring contribution to the Australian art community, commenting<br />

that the auction house was “honoured to be entrusted with the sale”,<br />

and adding, “He’ll be missed more than we realise.”<br />

“They’re dear to my<br />

heart, but you can’t<br />

take them upstairs<br />

with you.”<br />

Savill has also recently revealed that Sotheby’s will handle the sale<br />

of two Brett Whiteley works for him in <strong>August</strong>, as part of his ongoing<br />

effort to “decant” his collection, as he puts it. Two more works from<br />

Savill’s collection will be sold at auction in Auckland, one an Isaac<br />

Whitehead painting depicting Milford, and the other a Vera Cummings<br />

portrait. The same auction house also handled the sale of two Colin<br />

McCahon paintings for him last year, demonstrating that he is still<br />

firmly in touch with the New Zealand art scene.<br />

His recent downsizing is not an indicator that he’s losing passion<br />

for the industry or his well-respected eye of quality, however. Just<br />

two years ago, Savill invested more than $850,000 in another Brett<br />

Whiteley piece, a 1988 painting entitled The Arrival, which he then<br />

loaned to Sydney’s Mosman Art Gallery. What’s more, he’s recently<br />

launched a fine art business, called, fittingly, Golden Days. Operating<br />

by appointment only, the new venture demonstrates that while he’s<br />

keen to enjoy a slightly slower pace, Savill isn’t a man who can ever<br />

truly retire.<br />

In Denis Savill, we see a true success story – someone who spent<br />

years working hard and smart in the pursuit of his goals, and is now<br />

calling it a day on his own terms, leaving the art world wanting more.<br />

STEP INSIDE & EXPERIENCE<br />

NEW ZEALAND’S FINEST<br />

LUXURY<br />

LODGES<br />

Words Victoria Tait<br />

Here in New Zealand, we have some of the world’s most outstanding luxury<br />

lodges, with service and hospitality second to none. Follow us on a journey<br />

through four of New Zealand’s most impeccable resort locations.<br />

The Snug at Cape Kidnappers Lodge

22 STYLE | report<br />

Prepare to have your breath taken<br />

away – Cape Kidnappers<br />

Once only reserved for the rich and<br />

famous, New Zealand’s luxury lodges<br />

were something we all heard about but never<br />

experienced. Today, the lodges have become<br />

more accessible to the New Zealand market as<br />

local travellers increasingly seek escapism and<br />

detachment from city life. It’s all about satisfying<br />

the urge to feel lost and off the beaten track<br />

for a little while, be it by a lake edge or a river<br />

bank, perched on a cliff top or a mountainside.<br />

On an international level, New Zealand’s<br />

lodges are known as some of the best in the<br />

world, and I’m happy to confirm that the<br />

rumours are true.<br />

I start my journey in the North Island’s<br />

Hawke’s Bay, an area that is no stranger to<br />

luxury and exceptional hospitality. The first stop<br />

is The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, a luxury lodge<br />

and wildlife reserve set within a 2428-hectare<br />

sheep and cattle station, and bordered at the<br />

east by the Pacific Ocean. On a clear day, it’s<br />

possible to make out snow-capped Mount<br />

Ruapehu on the horizon. Built to cater for all<br />

seasons, there are many locations to relax in the<br />

lodge – be it snuggled up by the fireplace in the<br />

cooler months, or dining outside in the warmer<br />

weather while taking in the stunning views of the<br />

Cape. The barrel room (pictured left) is a mustsee<br />

in its own right – a fantastic piece of interior<br />

architecture.<br />

Food and wine is a major component at<br />

The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, which features<br />

a five-star, award-winning restaurant. The<br />

kitchen is headed by James Honore, a Kiwi with<br />

extensive international experience and whose<br />

passion for local produce has seen the lodge<br />

named in some of the world’s top travel and<br />

food magazines. Every evening, the lodge sets<br />

up a bar area where guests can enjoy predinner<br />

drinks and canapés, and much of the<br />

produce served to guests is sourced within the<br />

region, either from local growers, or the lodge’s<br />

own vegetable garden. Naturally, Hawke’s Bay<br />

wine is also paired with produce, making the<br />

dining experience outstanding.<br />

The Farm is perhaps best known, however,<br />

for its 71-par golf course, currently #39 in the<br />

world, according to Golf Digest. If a day on<br />

the links isn’t your cup of tea, the lodge also<br />

offers indulgent spa treatments, an infinity pool<br />

and hot tub, as well as ocean-side hikes and<br />

farm tours. The accommodation structure has<br />

three tiers, comprised of entry-level rooms,<br />

residents’ suites, and the magnificent Owner’s<br />

Cottage, with each room positioned to have a<br />

spectacular panoramic view.<br />

The Farm at Cape Kidnappers is a sister<br />

property to The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs in<br />

Northland, and Matakauri Lodge near<br />

Queenstown. The three super-luxury<br />

properties – all owned and operated by<br />

New York-based financier and philanthropist<br />

Julian Robertson and family – are part of the<br />

exclusive Relais & Chateaux hotel group. All<br />

three offer world-class accommodation in<br />

some of New Zealand’s most picturesque<br />

locations and have all received international<br />

recognition for their quality.<br />

Robertson’s passion for wildlife and New<br />

Zealand’s rugged beauty are evident in all three<br />

lodges. His developments in New Zealand<br />

started with the golf course at Kauri Cliffs, and<br />

when friends visiting from America mentioned<br />

that they wished it had accommodation, he<br />

added the lodge. Following this, he fell in love<br />

with the dramatic Hawke’s Bay coastline,<br />

and upon making his way down the country,<br />

developed Matakauri near Queenstown a<br />

few years later. Robertson also owns a farm<br />

in North Canterbury, so let’s keep our fingers<br />

crossed that this could also, one day, become<br />

the location for one of his spectacular lodges.<br />

For now though, I could quite easily spend<br />

endless days soaking up all that The Farm at<br />

Cape Kidnappers has on offer.<br />

The Farm at Cape Kidnappers<br />

Best Time To Go: <strong>August</strong>-September, to<br />

take advantage of the Lodge Life package.<br />

Recommendations: Take a farm tour in a<br />

four-wheel drive out to the bird colony, where<br />

you can get up close and personal with New<br />

Zealand wildlife.<br />

Tariffs: Rates range from $1897.50 for a double<br />

occupancy of a Hilltop Suite in the low season<br />

(April-November) to $19,711 for the Owner’s<br />

Cottage, which houses four guests in the high<br />

season (December-January).<br />

Venturing inland, we head to another<br />

farm-style lodge with a completely different<br />

atmosphere and feel. Poronui Lodge is situated<br />

to the south-east of Lake Taupo, and is known<br />

as one of the finest luxury wilderness lodges,<br />

offering fly-fishing, trophy-hunting and horsetrekking<br />

in a spectacular setting.<br />

There are three accommodation options –<br />

Poronui Lodge itself is a world-class wilderness<br />

sporting lodge accompanied by seven adjoining<br />

cabins overlooking the Taharua Valley. Described<br />

as a “purpose-built facility designed to meet the<br />

needs of the discerning angler”, the Lodge is the<br />

heart of the Poronui experience. The rusticluxe<br />

Safari Camp, on the banks of the Mohaka<br />

River, is one of their most well-known options.<br />

It has beautifully-appointed canvas-roofed and<br />

walled cabins and takes glamping to an entirely<br />

new level. Blake House is the stately owner’s<br />

residence available on an exclusive basis only;<br />

it can accommodate up to 16 people in four<br />

double suites and two luxury bunkrooms.<br />

Poronui has a great working relationship with<br />

local iwi – Ngāti Tūwharetoa offer an excellent<br />

opportunity to engage in the local indigenous<br />

culture with their Kai Waho experiences. There’s<br />

also horse riding, mountain biking, clay shooting<br />

and hunting available.<br />

Best Time To Go: November-January. The<br />

warmer months will allow you to really<br />

to stay in the Safari Camp a truly unique<br />

experience.<br />

Recommendations: Keep an eye on their<br />

website for ultimate foodie weekends where<br />

they bring in a top chef and often hold events in<br />

the wine cellar – a rustic yet elegant location.<br />

Tariff: Four guests, self-catered, at Blake House<br />

is $2000 per night, all year round. A room in<br />

the lodge will cost $900 per person, per night<br />

in the high season (December-March), and<br />

includes private chef, wait staff, canapés and<br />

pre-dinner drinks, country breakfast, light lunch<br />

and full daily service.<br />

Huka Lodge Owner’s Cottage<br />

A world where elegant and generous hospitality meets<br />

sophistication and style – Huka Lodge<br />

Not far from the wilderness escape of<br />

Poronui is the famous Huka Lodge. What was<br />

a tented fishing stay in the 1920s has become a<br />

retreat with a worldwide reputation.<br />

Huka Lodge offers just 25 rooms including<br />

18 Junior Lodge Suites, one double Lodge<br />

Suite, the four-bedroom Owner’s Cottage<br />

and the two-bedroom Alan Pye Cottage. The<br />

suites all enjoy uninterrupted views of the deep<br />

Waikato River, the sound of its rushing water<br />

inducing relaxation in an instant. The grounds<br />

boast a tennis court, swimming and spa pools,<br />

petanque and croquet, and spa treatments are<br />

also on offer.<br />

One of the most endearing parts of Huka<br />

Lodge is its private dining venues. More than 20<br />

are hidden away in and around the property;<br />

some amongst the garden, others in private<br />

rooms within the lodge. Some of my personal<br />

favourites are:<br />

The Library: A cosy book-lined room which<br />

is the only room The Queen has chosen to<br />

dine in on her past three stays. The modest<br />

room has tartan flooring and an open fire as the<br />

centrepiece. It’s suitable for two to 10 guests.<br />

The Wine Cellar: This is a spectacular<br />

underground chamber across from the main<br />

lodge that is lined with fine vintages, most which<br />

are New Zealand wines. Can seat two to 10<br />

guests, with the lodge often holding degustation<br />

dinners here with famous chefs.<br />

Jetty Pavilion: By far the most stunning dining<br />

location. Here you can enjoy your meal or predinner<br />

drinks right on the river bank. A mirror<br />

situated behind the table, reflecting the river,<br />

adds to the ambience of the setting. Can seat<br />

two to six guests.<br />

Green Room: One of the many outdoor<br />

styled locations that offers complete seclusion<br />

and privacy. Suitable for two to six diners.<br />

Huka Lodge<br />

Best Time To Go: September. Take advantage<br />

of one of Huka Lodges retreats – the Wellness<br />

Weekend (September 15-16). Running<br />

over two-nights, experience a total body<br />

rejuvenation with classes run by experts in yoga,<br />

nutrition and wellbeing. A perfect girls weekend<br />

or an ideal couples retreat.<br />

Recommendations: A late night swim under<br />

the stars in the heated pool and hot tub while<br />

listening to the roaring river that is metres away.<br />

Tariff: Autumn-winter rates see the Junior Suite<br />

at $1255 per person, per night, up to the high<br />

season rates for the Owner’s Cottage at $7188<br />

per person, per night, for one suite.<br />

The best parts of an art-deco home in Merivale were not forgotten<br />

when the house was rebuilt to suit 21st century living.<br />

Words Naomi Spinsby-Wild Photography Jamie Armstrong

The abundance of light in the home<br />

is only reflected and enhanced by the<br />

beautiful rich rimu flooring.<br />

When speaking to Mike O’Donnell and Cathie Mcgrath<br />

about their newly re-built Christchurch home, what comes<br />

through most is their evident pride in the space they’ve created,<br />

and the work that’s gone into turning a plan into reality.<br />

When the 2011 earthquake meant that their 1940s artdeco<br />

home needed to be rebuilt, the couple were naturally<br />

disappointed, but were quick to realise the rare opportunity<br />

they’d been given – to rebuild the house they loved in a style<br />

more befitting of the 21st century. Mike and Cathie are the first<br />

to admit that for all its period charm and years of memories,<br />

the original house left a bit to be desired in terms of layout and<br />

functionality, and put counteracting these issues at the heart<br />

of their design brief. “Although art deco houses have beautiful<br />

features, they don’t flow well, and there’s no light,” Cathie<br />

explains, adding that for the new build the couple prioritised<br />

“simple, light-filled, contemporary design”.<br />

To ensure the important elements came together, the<br />

homeowners enlisted Opus Architecture and Summitbuild, and<br />

were thrilled with the collaborative effort.<br />

To help the new four-bedroom, three-bathroom house<br />

embrace modern living, they turned towards the sun, reorientating<br />

the layout of the rooms to make the most out of<br />

natural light. Generous windows in the open-plan kitchen and<br />

living areas allow light the flood the home, bathing it in all-day<br />

sun and accentuating the natural sense of space. Further light is<br />

allowed in by way of the impressive bi-fold doors, which also<br />

... the rimu, as well as the matai used in<br />

the bar, both come from her brother’s own<br />

sawmill over on the West Coast.<br />

The bar, Mike admits, is probably his personal favourite element<br />

of the house, one which just had to be carried over from the<br />

original home into its contemporary successor. Not only is it<br />

a great social space, but also a testament to their design, as<br />

it characterises what they loved about their old home, while<br />

providing some modern flair.<br />

Cathie, on the other hand, has a harder time isolating one<br />

favourite room – she adores the formal living area, tucked into a<br />

sunny nook of the north-facing home, but also loves the house's<br />

sense of light, whether it be in the spacious kitchen, living and<br />

dining area, or the generous master bedroom, which is complete<br />

with en-suite and a walk-in wardrobe. The master bedroom<br />

provides a clear view out to the Southern Alps and from the<br />

street side; the Port Hills are clearly visible, making the view<br />

“almost panoramic”, in Cathie’s words, as “every window gives a<br />

different view”.<br />

HEDGING<br />

YOUR BETS<br />

Landscape architect<br />

Craig Wilson talks us<br />

through how to add instant<br />

elegance to the garden with<br />

some simple hedging.<br />

Hedges have a well-earned and highlycelebrated<br />

place in the garden design<br />

narrative. Their use spans many centuries from<br />

historic French, Italian and English garden estates<br />

through to the cutting-edge contemporary<br />

landscape design of today. The ‘form’ and ‘intent’<br />

may have changed over time but the principle<br />

and simplicity of execution has remained, as<br />

hedges are a cost-effective and naturalistic way<br />

to define space in an outdoor setting. They<br />

can be established within a few years and with<br />

regular maintenance can be of benefit and<br />

enjoyment for decades.<br />

If you have hedging in mind for your property,<br />

a suitable species selection will be key to your<br />

success. Great options are available for our<br />

Canterbury climate and conditions across<br />

evergreen and deciduous species and with both<br />

native and exotic origin.<br />

Evergreen species tend to be a more popular<br />

choice as they lend year-round foliage and<br />

structure to your garden, forming the ‘bones’ or<br />

‘skeletal’ structure of your outdoor space, if you<br />

like. For this kind of planting, consider species<br />

such as buxus, laurel, corokia and griselinia, as<br />

their consistency and reliability will provide a<br />

welcome relief and visual contrast to dormant<br />

areas of the garden which are awaiting new<br />

spring growth.<br />

Deciduous options, on the other hand, can<br />

include the more traditional hornbeam and<br />

beech species or may even extend to the<br />

contemporary choice of muehlenbeckia, which<br />

will all provide the same form and structure<br />

as an evergreen hedge, but also provide rich<br />

seasonal expression.<br />

The cost of establishing a hedge will always be<br />

less than the physical construction of a timber<br />

or masonry wall, and while more costly ‘instant’<br />

hedging can be sourced, a true hedge will take<br />

time to establish itself and create the desired<br />

effect of screening or edging.<br />

Over time a hedge will require regular<br />

maintenance to keep it in optimum health<br />

and good shape. Once again, selecting the<br />

right species is vital and choosing a hedge that<br />

matches your appetite for ongoing maintenance<br />

is important. If you don’t want to be regularly<br />

clipping to keep a crisp look, avoid fastergrowing<br />

varieties like lonicera and teucrium.<br />

In recent years, I have noticed increased<br />

interest in the use of ‘pleaching’ as a horticultural<br />

technique to create a ‘hedge on stilts’. This<br />

can be particularly useful on smaller sections<br />

to screen out a neighbour’s roofline and can<br />

be easily and quickly achieved by the use of<br />

‘standardised’ specimens.<br />

The use of hedges will remain a common<br />

element in garden design and can bring a<br />

degree of structure and order to any outdoor<br />

space, without creating too much formality or<br />

compromising on style.<br />

Megan and Lee have<br />

a young family.<br />

So we designed them a home<br />

to grow up in.<br />

JESSICA<br />

WINCHCOMBE<br />

FASHION JEWELLERY<br />

Anne Hudson takes a look at the work of a gifted New Zealand<br />

jeweller, whose talent has taken her from Queenstown to Milan.<br />

Jessica Winchcombe’s work exudes the<br />

haptic pleasure of making. Carefully<br />

pleated or woven leather necklaces and<br />

folded metal earrings are the product of<br />

careful time and labour, their simplicity<br />

belying the dexterity and skill required to<br />

make them.<br />

However, unlike knitting and crochet<br />

these works demonstrate a complexity of<br />

conceptual thinking that lies behind their<br />

creation. The weaving provides a yin and<br />

yang interlocking of threads of love and life,<br />

an intertwining or juxtaposition of male and<br />

female, light and dark. The pieces are not<br />

whimsical but bold, almost sculptural yet<br />

light, and while designed to be worn with<br />

comfort, they make a statement.<br />

Jessica uses recycled materials, old leather<br />

and metal, and strives to keep the form of<br />

each piece minimal so that the patina of age<br />

is still evident. The recycled material already<br />

has a history, so Jessica gives it a new start.<br />

Some of her pieces are elevated by the<br />

wear of their owner, settling in to a new life<br />

separate from the maker.<br />

In collaboration with mentor Warwick<br />

Freeman, she has used horsehair and beads<br />

to create a new range of earrings, bracelets<br />

and neckpieces. Horsehair has a tradition of<br />

use in jewellery, but is usually woven into a<br />

bracelet or placed in a locket as a memorial<br />

to a particular horse.<br />

The pairing of hair and pearls may seem<br />

unusual, but Jessica is again playing with<br />

the almost opposing materials to imbue an<br />

added layer of meaning into her work. The<br />

horsehair, I read, comes from the horse’s<br />

tail and is a long, strong fibre ideal for this<br />

purpose. The strength of that fibre and<br />

its obvious animal source puts it in stark<br />

contrast to the subtle warmth of pearls.<br />

In another of her woven or pleated<br />

neckpieces, pearls are set into the folds,<br />

giving a nod to their traditional presentation<br />

while creating new and edgy work.<br />

Jessica has been invited to show her<br />

work overseas at the Milan Fashion Show,<br />

as well as at exhibitions in Germany and<br />

the Netherlands. The Milan Fashion Show<br />

invitational exhibition Artistar Jewels is<br />

carving out a reputation for showcasing<br />

excellence in contemporary jewellery design,<br />

and featured Jessica’s work just this year. The<br />

show, which features 200 creations selected<br />

for their high artistic relevance and embraces<br />

both tradition and innovation, placed the<br />

Kiwi jeweller in a sophisticated arena of not<br />

only makers, but also marketers.<br />

Jessica lives in and works from a studio in<br />

Queenstown and runs workshops around<br />

the country through which she shares her<br />

expertise with her students. She is happy<br />

working in her studio, meeting the demands<br />

of the galleries that support her and seeing<br />

what the universe might throw at her.<br />

Her jewellery definitely falls into a fine<br />

art category; one where the artist is at one<br />

with her materials and has a mastery of<br />

the skills required to create fully resolved,<br />

original pieces. These pieces are aesthetically<br />

pleasing while also demonstrating that they<br />

are the completion or the evolution of an<br />

idea. The pieces display well in the vitrines of<br />

galleries and museums but take on another<br />

life when worn by their happy recipient.<br />

Sarah, tell us about your background.<br />

My fascination with travel first started when I was<br />

12 years old and received a postcard of Big Ben from<br />

my Aunt. I’ve being working in travel for 15 years<br />

and am now the Owner Operator at House of Travel<br />

High Street Lanes.<br />

It’s lunchtime and you have an hour to<br />

grab a quick bite in Christchurch, where<br />

do you go?<br />

With Madam Woo sharing our building, I’ve had my<br />

fair share of Malaysian delicacies. It is hard to resist<br />

when their honey and soy tossed squid is so divine<br />

– their hawker rolls are hard to say no to as well!<br />

Travellers love South East Asia<br />

– why do you think that is?<br />

A self-confessed foodie and avid traveller, Sarah Crowe from House of Travel’s High Street Lanes<br />

spills the beans on her favourite local dishes and faraway destinations.<br />

Guaranteed warm weather, amazing island<br />

beaches, a vibrant culture and history, cheap<br />

accommodation, fabulous eating options and of<br />

course the endless shopping opportunities. Plus it’s<br />

so much closer than you think.<br />

What about a post-work dinner with the<br />

House of Travel team?<br />

When we celebrate in style, there is no better French<br />

food in town than at St Germain. We are lucky to<br />

have them on our doorstep. The 5-course surprise<br />

menu with wine matches for $85 is a favourite.<br />

Does the food there make you want to<br />

visit France?<br />

Yes. It certainly does. Food is just one of the<br />

drawcards of France. I love booking my clients into<br />

villas in Provence as they are so well priced and it’s<br />

a great way to absorb yourself into the local culture.<br />

There is nothing like going to a local French village<br />

to buy your fresh produce, baguettes and brie, and a<br />

lovely bottle of wine.<br />

What’s the hot destination for <strong>2017</strong>?<br />

This year Vietnam has been really popular – and<br />

for good reason too! This country is great for a<br />

beach holiday, as well as a historical and cultural<br />

adventure.<br />

More and more families are also travelling here to<br />

enjoy a value for money holiday that ticks all the<br />

boxes; including a dine in the dark restaurant and a<br />

great theme park in Ho Chi Minh City!<br />

SEASONAL WINTER<br />

SKIN RITUALS<br />

Words Clemency Alice<br />

La Prairie Purifying<br />

Cream Cleanser<br />

comprehensive beauty regime is essential<br />

A to maintaining flawless skin during the winter<br />

months. During the crisp, glacial days of winter,<br />

our skin barrier becomes compromised, making<br />

it more susceptible to dryness and sensitivity.<br />

Here are some simple tips to help restore skin<br />

vitality and a healthy, luminous glow.<br />

SUFFICIENT SLEEP is essential since the<br />

skin’s cellular repair activity is at its peak during<br />

rest. Introduce evening ‘wind-down’ rituals to<br />

promote a restorative, deep sleep (herbal teas,<br />

aroma essences, soothing yoga poses).<br />

FACE MASSAGE helps facilitate the draining<br />

of unwanted toxins and increases oxygen flow<br />

to the skin tissue.<br />

WARM COMPRESS the skin with a gentle<br />

aromatic infused cloth. After removing all<br />

make-up and cleansing your skin, fill a bowl with<br />

warm water and add a drop of lavender or blue<br />

chamomile essential oil, then soak a face cloth<br />

in the water and wring out the excess. Hold the<br />

cloth over the face for a slow count of five. To<br />

complete the ritual, massage the skin with three<br />

to five drops of your go-to face oil.<br />

CORRECTLY CLEANSE with a gentle<br />

face cleanser and a delicate, floral toner (I<br />

recommend La Prairie Purifying Cream Cleanser<br />

and Softening and Balancing Lotion). Correct<br />

cleansing rituals will remove impurities from the<br />

skin and leave it feeling instantly refreshed. This<br />

is a vital step as it preps the skin to efficiently<br />

and effectively absorb serums and moisturisers.<br />

FRESH AIR and brisk walks amongst nature<br />

boost circulation and will cleanse and replenish<br />

your skin from within. Before stepping out, apply<br />

a few drops of your go-to face oil to provide<br />

extra nourishment and protect it from the harsh<br />

elements of wind and extreme temperatures.<br />

DRY BRUSHING helps whisk away dead<br />

skin cells and stimulate lymphatic flow. It is an<br />

invigorating way to begin the day post-exercise<br />

and pre-shower. Simply doing this for a few<br />

minutes a day as part of your morning beauty<br />

ritual can be transformative for your skin, while<br />

also being very meditative and calming.<br />

STAY HYDRATED with mineral-rich spring<br />

water for optimum skin health. Cultivate a<br />

ritual of preparing and drinking organic green<br />

tea, as the high concentration of ‘polyphenols’<br />

it contains will help protect your skin from<br />

cellular damage. Sufferers of rosacea, eczema<br />

and psoriasis will also benefit from drinking<br />

green tea with its anti-inflammatory properties.<br />

Ultimately, any kind of water intake throughout<br />

the day will ensure hydration through reducing<br />

the loss of moisture from the skin.<br />

INTENSIVE MASK treatments are an<br />

essential winter skin ritual for a luminous, radiant<br />

skin. Select an overnight sleep mask to restore<br />

the skin’s barrier function and retain moisture<br />

during the resting phase. (My fav is La Prairie<br />

Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask.)<br />

PROBIOTICS<br />

& PREBIOTICS:<br />

THE ANSWER TO GOOD<br />

GUT AND SKIN HEALTH<br />

Using probiotics to keep your gut healthy has long been<br />

recognised as an effective way to assist good bowel function<br />

and to help control the metabolism. What is less widely known<br />

is that keeping bacteria in balance is just as important for skin<br />

health, writes Dr Iona Weir.

STYLE | wellbeing 59<br />

WHAT ARE PROBIOTICS & PREBIOTICS?<br />

Probiotics are live, good bacteria that occur<br />

naturally in the body, although levels can be<br />

boosted with supplements and particular<br />

foods. Their main benefit is to the gut, as<br />

they aid the digestion process. Prebiotics,<br />

on the other hand, are specialised plant<br />

fibres that do not occur naturally in the<br />

body, and instead make their way into the<br />

digestive system through the food we eat.<br />

Prebiotics nourish and encourage the body’s<br />

production of probiotics, improving the<br />

good-to-bad bacteria ratio and enhancing<br />

their effectiveness.<br />

Every person has their own unique gut<br />

and skin microflora (the balance of good and<br />

bad ba cteria), which is directly inherited from<br />

their mother.<br />

THE BALANCING ACT<br />

Balance of the gut microflora has been<br />

discovered to be central to preventing<br />

allergies, and when out of balance, eczema,<br />

rashes, hives and conditions such as irritable<br />

bowel syndrome and auto-immune disorders<br />

can occur.<br />

The use of probiotic supplements can help<br />

keep the body in balance, as well as eating<br />

foods such as yoghurt, kefir, avocado, miso<br />

soup, pickles, kimchi, kombucha tea and,<br />

thankfully, dark chocolate.<br />

But, after a short time, usually after around<br />

three to four weeks, your body will no<br />

longer benefit from probiotic supplements<br />

as your immune system begins to recognise<br />

them as foreign bacteria. Because prebiotics<br />

support the growth of your own unique<br />

good bacteria probiotics, it’s a good idea to<br />

use the two in combination, then, once your<br />

“Your face is unique.<br />

gut microflora is restored, Trust continue your injectable to take a<br />

You’ll know when the probiotic to an experienced stops<br />

working when common digestive Cosmetic issues Physician” start<br />

returning. I usually take a prebiotic Medical in tandem<br />

Director<br />

Dr Heather Jefferies<br />

with a probiotic for three weeks, and then<br />

continue using the prebiotic for three<br />

months before topping up my good bacteria<br />

with a probiotic again.<br />

It’s also important to remember probiotic<br />

supplements can die in the capsule, or on<br />

their way through the digestive tract. Always<br />

look for high-quality, high colony forming<br />

unit probiotics. Probiotics that work are<br />

expensive as they have to be specifically<br />

micro-encapsulated (coated) to be<br />

protected from the digestive enzymes and<br />

acid in the stomach, which is also why it’s so<br />

vital you take probiotics after a meal.<br />

FACE VALUE<br />

The skin, much like the gut, has its own<br />

unique microflora. Lack of balance can have<br />

any number of causes, including the use<br />

of too many cleansers and soaps. Instead<br />

of protecting against infection, this overscrubbing<br />

results in damaging your own<br />

natural and unique defences. It’s at this point<br />

that bad bacteria run wild, causing outbreaks<br />

of acne, inflammation, redness or dry and<br />

irritated skin.<br />

Over the years, many products have<br />

claimed to give us clear and beautiful skin,<br />

and have focused on getting rid of bacteria.<br />

In this process all bacteria are destroyed,<br />

including the good stuff, meaning that clear<br />

skin doesn’t last long as bad bacteria quickly<br />

grow back to replace the good.<br />

As well as exfoliating less and resisting<br />

the urge to over-cleanse, it’s important to<br />

use a product that contains a prebiotic and<br />

the peptides from probiotic bacteria. When<br />

used in conjunction, these work to promote<br />

good bacterial growth while inhibiting bad<br />

bacteria. Look for a skincare product centred<br />

on providing a boost of probiotics while<br />

nurturing the existing good bacteria with<br />

prebiotics.<br />

What’s clear is that our gut and skin health<br />

work in synergy. Balance in both is the<br />

answer to beautifully clear and glowing skin.<br />

CHAMPAGNE<br />

ON ICE<br />

A short trip south sees Kate Preece<br />

sipping champagne in snowy surrounds.<br />

The mighty mountain ranges that epitomise<br />

Queenstown give nature the upper hand<br />

in this tourist town. And, as if the views are<br />

not enough, the crisp mountain air is quick to<br />

wipe away any memory of the 55-minute flight<br />

from Christchurch, cementing your arrival in<br />

the adventure capital of the south.<br />

Despite being surrounded by waterproofed<br />

men, women and children, I had no intention<br />

of hitting the snow-laden slopes. In fact, I had<br />

only one destination in mind – the Hilton.<br />

A $20 taxi ride from the airport and I am at<br />

its door, ready to see what happens when a<br />

luxury accommodation chain pairs up with a<br />

Champagne house.<br />

The room in which I am to rest my head is<br />

one of a kind, thanks to a perfect partnership<br />

between The Hilton and Veuve Clicquot. In<br />

Queenstown, this means room 133 has had a<br />

makeover. Renamed La Grande Dame Room<br />

(until the end of <strong>August</strong>), muted tones of grey<br />

and pink, with textural elements from fur,<br />

velvet and wool, form a luxurious backdrop,<br />

while Jo Malone’s lime, basil and mandarin<br />

scent fills the air. Veuve-yellow highlights are at<br />

every turn, from the flowers and cushions to<br />

a framed LED-lit portrait of Madame Clicquot<br />

– the ‘Grande Dame of Champagne’ herself.<br />

An ice-filled bucket proffers a bottle of the<br />

widowed French woman’s legacy, and a bath<br />

with a water view promises to deliver on the<br />

relaxation front.<br />

My timing to visit the on-site Eforea spa<br />

couldn’t have been better either. With the<br />

annual Clicquot In The Snow festival in <strong>August</strong>,<br />

there are opportunities at every turn to ‘have<br />

champagne with that’, with spa treatments<br />

being no exception.<br />

An oasis of calm and professionalism, the spa<br />

offers all the bells and whistles, from robes and<br />

slippers to the use of a 25-metre swimming<br />

pool, sauna and a post-treatment lounge.<br />

Until September 30, the Veuve Clicquot Flute<br />

& Facial is a 60-minute treatment customised to<br />

target your skin’s needs, and finished with a flute<br />

of Madame Clicquot’s finest. My Finnish beauty<br />

therapist soon had me in a state of zen, the<br />

world’s worries a million miles away, with not<br />

a sound from the outside world, nor a note of<br />

Enya to be heard. Bliss.<br />

Dinner matched with Veuve Clicquot seemed<br />

the only way to follow such an experience.<br />

One of five Kawarau Village eateries,<br />

Wakatipu Grill’s special wine-matched menu<br />

also challenges the chef to base the threecourse<br />

dinner around the ingredient of the<br />

month – pumpkin for <strong>August</strong>. During my visit,<br />

however, it was ‘pear’, with the finest dish being<br />

prawn ravioli, with sweet and sour nashi pear,<br />

fennel, pancetta and toasted buckwheat. The<br />

2008 vintage served alongside it was also the<br />

standout.<br />

While Veuve doesn’t feature on the<br />

breakfast menu, nearly everything else does.<br />

Whether craving a croissant, eggs Benedict, or<br />

a curry, the buffet will have you sated.<br />

Sitting in Wakatipu Grill’s observatory-style<br />

area, the sun streaming in as mist rolls gently<br />

across the serene lake, I willed the clock to<br />

slow its pace. The waterproofed ones were<br />

fuelling up for another day of adrenaline and<br />

hot chocolate, while all I could think about<br />

was one more hour in the spa. Or, at the very<br />

least, more time on the balcony of La Grande<br />

Dame Room, sipping Veuve in the shadow of<br />

the mountains.

FINANCIAL<br />

HABITS<br />

OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE<br />

When you analyse the<br />

habits of those considered<br />

financially successful,<br />

you start to see trends in<br />

their everyday behaviour,<br />

|Julian Lingard says.<br />

THEY KEEP LEARNING<br />

Once they’ve identified areas in which they want<br />

to gain wealth, they start educating themselves in<br />

those fields.<br />

Invest in your own knowledge by reading the<br />

relevant books, following the right bloggers and<br />

spokespeople, and keeping up to date with<br />

policy changes in the news. A lot of websites<br />

in New Zealand even send daily or weekly<br />

updates to your mailbox. There are tons of<br />

resources out there (although it’s important<br />

to first check their credibility), which will help<br />

educate your financial decisions.<br />

Resources such as goodreturns.co.nz or<br />

investment.co.nz are good places to start, or, of<br />

course, just ask your advisor for updates – we<br />

live and breathe this stuff every day. Whatever<br />

source you pick, stick to it – everyone has an<br />

opinion and too much conflicting information<br />

from multiple sources can be confusing,<br />

overwhelming and prohibit action.<br />

THEY ASK FOR WHAT THEY WANT<br />

Most people realise that in order to create wealth<br />

initially, their income needs to increase.<br />

By creating more disposable income, you can<br />

use it to generate wealth. Always look for how<br />

you can add further value in the job you do by<br />

seeking out training opportunities to widen your<br />

skill set and increase your income.<br />

What ‘value’ means can be different for every<br />

company, but by building strong relationships<br />

with your managers and the company’s<br />

leadership you can begin to understand your<br />

employer’s strategic goals and the role you play<br />

within achieving them.<br />

Asking for what you want takes confidence<br />

and belief in your own value. Allow the<br />

experience of mentors, in both an official and<br />

unofficial capacity, to guide you on what to ask<br />

for and when. It’s all part of the old adage – if<br />

you don’t ask, you don’t get.

STYLE | finance 65<br />

THEY GET ONTO THE PROPERTY LADDER EARLY<br />

Buying a house as early as possible can open up the opportunity for other<br />

investments.<br />

By paying off your mortgage as quickly as you can, you can decrease<br />

your interest costs and keep more money in your own pocket.<br />

Once you reach particular loan-to-value ratios, you have the ability<br />

to leverage other investments off your property, and use money you<br />

formerly spent on mortgage repayments on potential income sources<br />

like managed funds.<br />

Property as an investment is an appreciating asset; it will build your<br />

net wealth and create its own equity, too. It’s common to live within<br />

your means, but by allocating your spend to a mortgage, rather than<br />

rent or discretionary spending, you are building wealth.<br />

THEY SEEK OUT PASSIVE INCOME OPTIONS<br />

Passive income is the money received for little effort or personal time from<br />

investments such as rental properties and shares.<br />

If you’re looking at long-term passive income, rental properties could<br />

be a good option as you’ll often have tenants paying off the mortgage.<br />

However, once the mortgage payments are serviced, there may be<br />

little tangible income left over.<br />

Receiving regular lump-sum dividend payments from shares in a<br />

company might be a better option for short-term passive income.<br />

But it’s important, before investing, that you know what the pay-out<br />

schedule is. For this kind of investment you also need a lump sum to<br />

invest and the patience to wait for investment growth.<br />

Don’t forget the option of setting up your own business, which plays<br />

to your expertise, but can generate income based on minimal input<br />

from you if you have someone else running the operation day to day.<br />

Alternatively, an option can be to invest or partner in a business.<br />

THEY RUN THEIR PERSONAL FINANCES LIKE A BUSINESS<br />

Know the importance of budgeting and cashflow.<br />

A lot of people spend their money ad hoc, so are surprised when the<br />

$100 a week they think they allow for discretionary spending (e.g.<br />

eating out) is actually closer to $200-$300. A clear budget helps keep<br />

you on top of your spending and makes you aware how much you<br />

actually have left over to invest. It also allows you to build accurate<br />

financial goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and<br />

time-based (SMART).<br />

Successful businesses know where they are financially at all times –<br />

personal finances should be no different.<br />

THEY SPEND AND BORROW SMARTLY<br />

Spend the right way and stick to budget.<br />

Ideally, all spending should be done with cash that you have and<br />

not bought on credit or hire purchase as you’ll be subject to higher<br />

interest rates.<br />

Try not to borrow money for things that decrease in value. If you<br />

do need to borrow money, make your mortgage work for you. Don’t<br />

make the mistake of setting the loan up within the mortgage as you’ll<br />

end up paying interest on the item over the lifetime of the mortgage.<br />

Always borrow to the side of the mortgage – just using the house as<br />

collateral is smart as the bank has the security of the property and so is<br />

likely to offer the loan at a lower interest rate.<br />

THEY INVEST<br />

Options for generating wealth are spread over multiple platforms.<br />

For retirement alone, we should be saving around 10-15 per cent of<br />

our annual income. If we save eight per cent in our KiwiSaver, five per<br />

cent should be invested through managed funds, which you can still<br />

have easy access to.<br />

This money will accumulate over time and can be used to help pay<br />

off the mortgage or fund a retirement lifestyle.<br />

THEY INSURE<br />

The time, effort and money invested into organising finances and growing<br />

wealth are protected by the right insurance.<br />

What insurance you need depends on your personal situation, but life<br />

insurance and income protection are key introductory insurances.<br />

Life insurance pays a lump sum to your family and dependents upon<br />

your passing to ensure your debt and funeral costs are covered –<br />

people often choose this to take care of their family when they’re gone<br />

and help them maintain the lifestyle to which they are accustomed. In<br />

some cases, life insurance also pays out when you are diagnosed with a<br />

terminal illness.<br />

Income insurance protects what many say is a person’s greatest<br />

asset – the ability to earn an income. This protection comes in the<br />

form of ongoing incremental payments that cover loss of income while<br />

you cannot work due to illness, and takes away the stress and worry<br />

for you and your family at a time when the focus is on recovery. It<br />

generally pays out for bills and day-to-day spending.<br />

THEY SEEK ADVICE<br />

Successful people leverage the knowledge and advice of professionals<br />

in all areas.<br />

For your money matters, financial advisors are best placed as it’s<br />

their job to know what’s going on and stay up to date. Many advisors<br />

work for their clients for free, too, as they are paid by the suppliers.<br />

An advisor will help you create a tailored financial plan based on<br />

your goals, objectives and risk tolerance. Every individual requires<br />

a unique plan, which will develop throughout your lifetime as your<br />

circumstances, priorities and goals change.<br />

A clear budget helps keep you on top<br />

of your spending...<br />

THE BEST<br />

OF 86<br />

Motoring writer Ross Kiddie takes the sporty GT86 coupe for a<br />

high-country blast.<br />

THE SPECS<br />

PRICE: Toyota 86GT, $51,986<br />

DIMENSIONS: Length, 4240mm;<br />

width, 1775mm; height, 1285mm<br />

CONFIGURATION: Four-cylinder<br />

(boxer), rear-wheel-drive, 1998cc,<br />

152kW, 212Nm, six-speed manual<br />

PERFORMANCE: 0-100km/h, 7.4sec<br />

FUEL USAGE: 8.4l/100km<br />

was a little disappointed when Subaru<br />

I withdrew their sporty two-door coupe –<br />

the BRZ – from New Zealand’s market.<br />

While the car lives on here in Toyota’s 86,<br />

it was good to have that point of difference in<br />

the marketplace, and considering that Subaru<br />

engineered the BRZ/86, I felt it was right for<br />

consumers to have a choice.<br />

Nevertheless, Toyota is marketing the 86<br />

with the recognition it deserves, and has<br />

just given the stylish wee sports car a fairly<br />

extensive upgrade.<br />

Anyone will tell you I’m wildly enthusiastic<br />

about the 86, it is a cool piece of kit and in its<br />

latest iteration it is even more appealing. As you<br />

would expect, it is further refined cosmetically,<br />

and if performance is a key buying ingredient,<br />

you’ll be pleased to find that it offers more<br />

power – albeit in manual form only.<br />

While I know most 86s sold here in New<br />

Zealand will be autos, the market for manual<br />

cars still exists, and this is one that I would<br />

choose to buy in manual form as it’s such a<br />

delight. The gearshift has short movement up<br />

and down and across the gate, it moves with<br />

direct action and can be moved as quickly<br />

as the driver can manipulate. Clutch action<br />

is also short but progressive, meaning that in<br />

combination it offers a performance car feel<br />

which will appeal to buyers. Also, the engine<br />

develops so much natural torque that it can<br />

be driven in tall gears at low speeds; that being<br />

the case it’s not a matter of a manual shift<br />

being a burden.<br />

Toyota rate the horizontally opposed, fourcylinder<br />

engine at 152kW and 212Nm (up<br />

5kW and 7Nm). There’s no secret Subaru<br />

supply the quad-camshaft unit, so it carries all<br />

of the boxer engine characteristics that have<br />

made that company so popular as an engine<br />

builder.<br />

Coupled with the six-speed transmission,<br />

there is a solid flow of energy through the rev<br />

band. It also comes with an audible howl, just<br />

to lure the driver.<br />

In terms of performance, the 86 can’t be<br />

described as quick. It is capable of a 7.4sec<br />

standstill to 100km/h time, but in sports car<br />

terms that isn’t lightning speed. However,<br />

what the 86 does do well is put the power to<br />

ground in a fashion that entertains the driver.<br />

Short-wheelbase, rear-wheel-drive cars have<br />

unique handling characteristics, and while this<br />

model offers a natural handling sensation,<br />

the power outputs mean there is a definite<br />

tendency for grip to be challenged. And therein<br />

lies a key ingredient as to the way the 86 is set<br />

up; it has a stepped traction control system,<br />

and the driver can select settings whereby<br />

oversteer can be forced, although this is only<br />

ever encouraged on track.<br />

Nevertheless, there is a constant feeling<br />

when cornering hard that the rear will be a bit<br />

tail-happy and when it does, TCS will rein it in,<br />

but the point remains that the 86 is playful and<br />

will constantly entertain the driver.<br />

I took the test car through a series of tight<br />

and twisty road sections and enjoyed its<br />

balance and steerage. It has handling ability akin<br />

to its concept, it is precise up front and the feel<br />

from the rear is constantly involving.<br />

In GT form the 86 rides on tyres an inch

STYLE | motoring 67<br />

bigger in diameter than the standard car, but<br />

even then the 215/45 x 17in Michelin rubber<br />

struggles under power, it is delightful and part<br />

of what makes the 86 so special. The brakes,<br />

too, are sharp, the entire handling package is<br />

undoubtedly special.<br />

As mentioned, the 86 for <strong>2017</strong> gets extra kit<br />

by way of the spec, and the cockpit has been<br />

freshened with quality trim elements creating<br />

a sporty environment that is also one of true<br />

sports car heritage.<br />

On the outside, the 86 has also had a bit of<br />

a tidy up – notably the GT gets a functional<br />

spoiler which is claimed to help high-speed<br />

stability.<br />

The 86 also returns realistic fuel usage<br />

figures – Toyota claims an 8.4l/100km (34mpg)<br />

combined cycle average.<br />

If you have a young family, the 86 isn’t totally<br />

selfish, it is effectively a 2+2 but you can seat<br />

those small of stature in the rear.<br />

Not only do I relate well to the 86 in roadgoing<br />

form, I’m also kept entertained throughout<br />

the summer series of motorsport and the 86<br />

series has provided some close and exciting<br />

racing. This is an area in which Toyota excels, and<br />

its involvement in New Zealand motorsport is<br />

long-standing and one which I hope continues.<br />

Until that series restarts late in the year, I’ll<br />

just have to relive the memory of my latest<br />

86 drive, as it was certainly one of the most<br />

enjoyable for the year so far.<br />

NOSTALGIA WITH<br />

A MODERN TWIST<br />

With more than 30 types<br />

of loose-leaf tea, the Majestic Tea<br />

Bar, Espresso & Chocolate is the<br />

latest destination for<br />

a quality cuppa.<br />

Words Christine de Felice<br />

A<br />

sense of the city’s special history and legacy<br />

has returned to Christchurch with the<br />

opening of the Majestic Tea Bar, Espresso &<br />

Chocolate in Barrington.<br />

The driving force behind the project, Chris<br />

Cox, is a strong believer in the importance of<br />

retaining the connection with our past, much<br />

of which he says has been lost both because of<br />

the earthquakes, and more generally the pace<br />

of modern life.<br />

Customers can enjoy the comforting<br />

ambience of nostalgia blended with a fresh,<br />

modern approach at Majestic Tea Bar, Chris<br />

says. As the name suggests, tea is the main<br />

focus, but there certainly is a lot more on<br />

offer, with a menu that encompasses coffee,<br />

chocolate, cold drinks and a wide selection of<br />

cabinet and menu food available, prepared by<br />

their chefs in the kitchen.<br />

Now in his 30s, Chris has been involved in<br />

the franchise food industry since his early 20s,<br />

both here and in Auckland, and has always had<br />

a passion for food and people.<br />

“I saw Majestic as an opportunity to express<br />

myself and bring new things to an industry that’s<br />

become typecast. I want to put more focus on<br />

customer service and the customer experience.<br />

“Majestic has a community and family focus.<br />

I see it as a place where people can come and<br />

catch up over a drink, the way our grandparents<br />

used to do, but also a place for all ages to enjoy.”<br />

With a keen eye for detail and opportunity,<br />

Chris identified that tea was enjoying a huge<br />

resurgence worldwide and decided to make<br />

that the focus of the new business. The concept<br />

for Majestic has been carefully developed<br />

over the last two years, during which he did<br />

extensive research here and overseas, and also<br />

talked to family and friends about what they<br />

would like and expect from the new cafe.<br />

The fit-out has a vintage feel but it is modern,<br />

fresh and embodies a colour scheme designed<br />

to appeal to both men and women.<br />

“I didn’t want that dark, industrial feel that<br />

so many cafes have now. I wanted it to be<br />

different. The plants represent the Palm Court<br />

era and the aprons the staff wear have bibs like<br />

the aprons our grandmothers wore.”<br />

As a specialty tea store, Majestic offers more<br />

than 30 different teas of all varieties, with others<br />

to be added as time goes on. Only loose-leaf<br />

tea is served, and in cast-iron teapots – a nod<br />

to tea’s Chinese origins. Coffee lovers are<br />

catered for with the usual selection of coffees,<br />

plus there are chilled juices and soft drinks.<br />

Customers can choose food from the cabinet,<br />

or from the full kitchen menu, which will evolve<br />

and change with the seasons.<br />

“Our head chef, Mark, is a local. He grew<br />

up in this area and has 15 years’ experience<br />

around New Zealand. All our staff have at least<br />

five years’ experience in the industry.”<br />

Chris says he chose Barrington as the<br />

location for Majestic as it has more of a<br />

boutique, family feel to it than the larger<br />

suburban malls around the city. There are also<br />

a lot of owner/operated businesses rather than<br />

chain stores, so business owners are more<br />

invested in the local community, he says.<br />

The Christchurch Majestic Tea Bar, Espresso<br />

& Chocolate is the third in what he hopes will<br />

become a nationwide brand. The other two<br />

are in Auckland and Palmerston North.<br />

“I see it as a national brand in the making<br />

but I don’t want it to be everywhere. It needs<br />

to stay special and we will continue to develop<br />

it, so the novelty won’t wear off with our<br />

customers.<br />

“While we are franchising we need to be<br />

very careful about who we allow to take on<br />

this business. They need to have a strong<br />

customer focus, determined to succeed but<br />

above all else, love that brand for its origins.”<br />

With tea being the world’s second-most<br />

consumed beverage behind water, the future<br />

of the Majestic Tea Bar, Espresso & Chocolate<br />

brand looks promising – with Barrington a good<br />

start for Christchurch.

A TASTE OF AKARUA<br />

Akarua, situated in beautiful Central<br />

Otago, has a reputation for producing<br />

world-class pinot noir. The enticingly<br />

fragrant Pinot Noir 2015 laces sweet<br />

spice, dark cherry and plum alongside<br />

thyme, dried herbs and spicy oak.<br />

HONG KONG STREET EATS<br />

New to Victoria Street, Sister Kong is Christchurch’s<br />

very first bao house. Taking inspiration from the<br />

authentic baijiu houses of Hong Kong to re-invent<br />

bao burgers with unique flavours like saffron and chilli,<br />

Sister Kong is giving notable Hong Kong eateries like<br />

Little Bao a run for their money.<br />

A NEW CROWNE<br />

Crowne Plaza has officially opened its doors, providing<br />

visitors and Christchurch locals with a handful of new<br />

culinary options. Start the day at Café 1851, which<br />

serves up Mojo coffee in a Scandinavian-style interior<br />

before trying a French martini at Social Wine Bar, and<br />

settling in for dinner at The Market Place.

CHARCOAL IS THE NEW BLACK<br />

Activated charcoal was originally sold in organic stores for its<br />

health benefits, mainly to cleanse the system. It’s now served<br />

in numerous varieties, from cold-press juices to tarts. One<br />

of our favourite cafés, Uncommon, even offers a buttermilkfried<br />

chicken burger, which is wedged between an activated<br />

charcoal and coconut bun. We can’t get enough of the stuff,<br />

which is also said to miraculously cure hangovers.<br />

UNCOMMON<br />

KNOWLEDGE<br />

For a relaxed atmosphere and<br />

exceptional flavours, look no<br />

further than Uncommon, the<br />

brightest and most exciting<br />

addition to Christchurch’s bold<br />

new café scene.<br />

Words Vanessa Ortynsky<br />

Inspired by their time spent living in<br />

Melbourne, Kiwi couple Natasha Rooney and<br />

Scott O’Driscoll returned to Christchurch to<br />

open Uncommon. The minimalist café is light,<br />

airy, and filled with plenty of greenery. It also<br />

serves up Christchurch’s best brunch.<br />

Uncommon offers an unrivalled dining<br />

experience regardless of when you visit, and<br />

always offers a unique twist on café classics.<br />

I often find myself stopping by for a morning<br />

coffee made with beans from the neighbouring<br />

C4 or enjoying a leisurely weekend breakfast of<br />

beautifully-plated buttermilk pancakes. It’s never<br />

easy deciding on a dish at Uncommon as every<br />

menu item is made with high quality, locally<br />

sourced produce. Fortunately, their fantastic<br />

breakfast board offers the best of both worlds –<br />

I urge you to try it next time you’re in.<br />

On this particular visit, we arrive in time for<br />

lunch, as I’m eager to try their fried chicken<br />

burger. Served on an activated charcoal and<br />

coconut bun, the buttermilk-fried chicken is<br />

both crispy and tender. It comes with paprikasprinkled<br />

chips and a strawberry milkshake,<br />

making it the perfect lunchtime treat. The pork<br />

belly banh mi is another crowd-pleaser, further<br />

demonstrating Scott O’Driscoll’s culinary range.<br />

Uncommon offers fine-dining quality food in a<br />

relaxed environment.<br />

Presentation is key at Uncommon, where<br />

every dish is a work of art. Watch as plates<br />

emerge from the open-plan kitchen and marvel<br />

at the seamlessness of the whole operation.<br />

Whether you find yourself at Uncommon for<br />

breakfast, lunch or even a coffee, the attention to<br />

detail, service and overall experience are nothing<br />

short of exceptional. It is a standout café and a<br />

real asset to the central city.<br />

establishment of exotic hospitality. Brocade-clad dancers moved<br />

gently, each fan flutter as gentle as a dove’s wing, capturing the<br />

eye, whilst trays of food seduced the palate. Small whirlpools of<br />

GEORGE HOTEL 30TH BIRTHDAY<br />

Sophie Pascoe, Tom Casey<br />

Three decades of hospitality in Christchurch were celebrated recently as The<br />

George Hotel reached a grand milestone. The 30th anniversary could not<br />

pass without bringing together a company of those who had, over the years,<br />

enjoyed a close association with the elegant establishment. It came to pass then,<br />

that they gathered to dine, wine and reminisce in the fellowship of friends, both<br />

old and new. By evening’s end, all the elements had combined to make this little<br />

piece of history, an occasion to remember.<br />

HEAD OVER HEELS OPENING<br />

Shoes, marvellous shoes danced across the view of guests at the grand<br />

opening of Head Over Heels, weaving a magical path leading to a trove of<br />

temptations to tantalise the feet. Outside, the misery of winter inflicted brutal<br />

mockery upon High Street, savage winds slicing like invisible razorblades into<br />

forlorn pedestrians, in contrast to the merriment within. Joyous noise rose to a<br />

deafening pitch as pair after pair were tried on. I dare say that they will pop up<br />

at some elegant affaires in the spring and summer, the seasons of cup days and<br />

garden parties.<br />

WHAT<br />

NOT<br />

TO DO IN A<br />

LUXURY<br />

SPA<br />

When staying at a luxury lodge, make<br />

use of the facilities – but do behave.<br />

Words Victoria Tait<br />

1. TREATMENT ROOMS<br />

Paper knickers are a spa treatment essential. If you haven’t used<br />

them before, take a moment to look at the configuration first...<br />

Be assured, there’s a front and a back. Remember these are for<br />

treatments only – some items should never be shown in public<br />

and this is one of them.<br />

2. GETTING FRISKY<br />

If you are visiting as a couple, we think it’s lovely that you’d like<br />

to enjoy a relaxing massage together, however, remember, your<br />

room is just down the hall... so pick up your paper knickers and<br />

off you go.<br />

3. BOOZE<br />

It’s never a good idea to overindulge before a massage or facial.<br />

It might seem like a good idea at the time but the reality is you’ll<br />

sleep through it, wake up with one hell of a hangover and pay a<br />

large fee for something you totally missed.<br />

4. DRESS CODE<br />

Do your research before you derobe. In a German or Austrian<br />

spa it’s bad manners to wears clothes, yet in a New Zealand spa<br />

we’re far too conservative to go for the birthday suit.<br />
