Fighting to save Redcliffs Park
Since 2016, Chris Doudney and others have been trying to save Redcliffs
Park. Relocating the school to the park has been a contentious subject,
polarising many in Redcliffs. On pages 4-5, we profile Mr Doudney and
report on the latest development in the park saga.

Long wait
over to
build on
Main Rd
waterfront
• By Sarla Donovan
A LONG-AWAITED outcome to
whether people can build in parts
of Redcliffs could have a flow-on
effect for others in the same
situation.
Section owner Wendy Gilchrist
said she was “greatly relieved”
that an independent hearing
panel on Thursday granted her
resource consent to build on a
waterfront site in Main Rd after a
year-long wait.
Following the decision, city
council acting head of resource
consents Andy Christofferson
wrote in a memorandum to
Mayor Lianne Dalziel, the panel’s
ruling would be “valuable in
shaping city council officers
thinking on this matter going
forward.”
It came a day after more
than 100 residents met with
Christchurch Coastal Residents’
United to hear about issues being
faced by coastal property owners
when trying to get resource and
building consents.
The meeting looked at how 1486
sites in a Restricted Unit Overlay
within the High Flood Hazard
Management Area are being
treated by city council planners.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Redcliffs couple world-beaters
In Brief
• By Sarla Donovan
REDCLIFFS COUPLE Ian
Huntsman and Wendy Riach
have won the worlds’s longest
canoe race, beating 20 other
competitors in the Yukon 1000.
Starting at Whitehorse, Canada,
on July 22 it took them six
days, 14hr and 55min to paddle
1600km (1000 miles) along the
Yukon River, finishing at Dalton
Highway Bridge in Alaska.
It’s the second time they’ve
taken out the race, finding victory
in 2014 when they clocked
up the second fastest-ever time
in the history of the race.
Ian is a 51-year-old engineer
who works for Hamilton Jet.
He learned to kayak at age 11
and is a member of the Down
River Kayak Club.
Wendy is 52 and a policewoman.
The pair sent texts to Ian’s
father Alan Huntsman after
the win, saying they were “very
tired” but in good condition.
They said the race was tough
this year with lower river levels,
strong winds and at one point
smoke from forest fires severely
affected visibility for several
hours.
Competitors paddle for 18
hours a day, resting between
11pm and 5am.
CHAMPIONS: Wendy Riach
and Ian Huntsman paddled
1600km down the Yukon River to
win the longest canoe race in the
world.
They carry all their food and
equipment with them in the
canoe, setting up camp beside
the river.
Alan said due to time differences
he would stay up late
to check with race organisers
that the pair had got through
the night without any attention
from bears.
“I’m excited, very proud and
very tired,” he told the Bay
Harbour News on Monday.
The pair are due to arrive back
in Christchurch on Friday.
VEHICLE DOWN BANK
Several occupants of a vehicle
which plunged 30m down a bank
about 1am on Sunday morning
were lucky to escape with just
bumps and bruises, Governors
Bay Volunteer Fire Brigade chief
fire officer Andrew Norris said.
The vehicle went off the road
on a sharp bend at Windy Point
between Rapaki and Governors
Bay, careered through bushes
and stopped upright without
overturning. The occupants were
checked by ambulance officers at
the scene.
NEIGHBOURHOOD WEEK
Funding applications for
individuals and groups wanting
to hold activities during
Neighbourhood Week opened
on Monday. The event runs from
October 27 to March 31 with the
aim of encouraging communities
to get to know each other. A small
subsidy is available from city
council community boards. Go to
ccc.govt.nz/GetTogether for more
information or to apply.
AWARD NOMINATIONS
The city council is calling for
nominations for the annual civic
awards. Nominations for the
2018 awards are open until 5pm,
August 17 and can be made at any
city council service centre.

Our People
Chris Doudney
Architect behind Redcliffs Park battle
Former architect Chris
Doudney helped
establish Friends of
Redcliffs Park in 2016.
The group has since
been fighting former
Minister of Education
Hekia Parata’s decision
to relocate Redcliffs
School to the park. Sarla
Donovan caught up with
the 77-year-old
Could you tell me a bit about
your early years? Where did
you grow up and go to school?
I was born in Hampton on
the western side of London, and
emigrated with my family on
the Rangitoto in 1950. I grew up
and spent most of my schooling
years in Christchurch. We lived
in Governors Bay and I went to
school there and then attended
Christ’s College. After secondary
school I spent 10 years in
Auckland, first at the School of
Architecture and then another
five years working in the city.
Where did you go from
there?
In 1968 I travelled with my
wife and son to England on a
boat called the Aurelia. It was
a 9000 tonne ship of the Italian
Cogedar Line, mainly used to
ship emigrants to Australia. The
return trip carried about 400
discontented Europeans going
back home plus us, so there was
plenty of room on board. We
stopped for a couple of days in
Tahiti, then on to the Panama
Canal, stopping briefly in Cristóbal
and omitting the planned
stop in Curacao. It took about
five weeks and we were starting
to run out of things like milk
by time we got to Southampton.
Our son Kit had his second
birthday on the ship. He had
one of those little plastic wheelie
things with handlebars, a tractor
or a train, and it was very popular
with the passengers. He’d
be doing figure eights across
the deck for hours as the ship
swayed back and fourth.
BATTLER: Chris Doudney has been the Friends of Redcliffs Park chairman for the past two
years.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
How would you describe your
family?
I had a standard family, two
younger brothers and a mum
and dad. Mum stayed at home
in the early years but later taught
German and Italian. Dad was
a sculptor and taught at Ilam
School of Fine Arts. Eric John
Doudney was his name. My
middle brother is an electrical
engineer and the youngest has
done a variety of jobs but currently
runs a gardening and
maintenance business. One
brother lives in Church Bay on a
property my parents bought as a
lifestyle farmlet in the 1970s.
What subjects interested you
at school?
I liked art and maths and
physics, but in those days,
they didn’t do physics beyond
the fifth form. I also enjoyed
languages and studied French
for four years, which was useful
for our summers in France. I
loved sailing and boating, but
unfortunately school didn’t have
it so I used to try to get out of
whichever sport they were doing
so I could go sailing. I was
always deeply impressed by the
architecture of Christ’s College
and have very warm memories
of the beautiful library building.
Did you enjoy living in
England?
We loved it, although we had
some hard times living over
there without much money. We
went to Europe most summers,
usually driving and camping,
heading south to sunshine and
beaches. France was good for
that. Another son was born in
London in 1970. We bought a
house in Putney and spent some
years upgrading it.
What brought you back to
New Zealand?
A severe depression in the
United Kingdom design and
construction world in 1977
prompted our return to New
Zealand in August 1978. For me,
it was to the position of assistant
chief architect at the Otago
Education Board. We had a lot
of schools being built at that
time, such as High St School in
1982. Numbers were dropping
in rural areas but not in the cities.
We loved Dunedin – we had
an inner city house in Cargill St
and were so close to everything.
It was a very old house built in
1860 and then added to right
through to the 1980s. It’s since
been bowled by a developer. Part
of me wishes we’d held onto it
but we had to sell.
Where did you meet your
wife?
I met Margaret in Auckland.
She’d been a student at the
School of Art in Christchurch
so I’d seen her around a bit.
Then we met up there and after
a few years we got married. She
painted and later taught art at
Auckland Girls’ Grammar before
we moved to London.
And what brought you
back to Christchurch and to
Redcliffs?
I retired from my position
as university architect at the
University of Otago, a fascinating
job which had kept me
interested for 25 years. My son
was here working and so we
bought our house in Redcliffs in
2008. At that stage, it was almost
derelict, but in a good position.
We moved in just a month before
the first quake in 2010. The
house survived but when 2011
came along it was quite badly
damaged, being clad in Oamaru
stone.
When was Friends of
Redcliffs Park formed?
In 2016, a month after the
Ministry of Education decision
to abandon the old school site.
It’s been quite a divisive issue
in the community – have there
been any personal attacks?
Not really. My wife got a
few phone calls while I was in
Europe earlier this year and we
have had eggs thrown at the
house but that was an isolated
incident.
What’s the toughest part of
the fight been?
That we haven’t succeeded.
It’s been very depressing and
tough on my wife to be out there
leading the charge. No one has
been told what the real reason
is. I think there’s someone in
the ministry who is arrogant
and biased and doesn’t want to
take the real evidence on board
and is in a position to sway the
minister.
When do you see yourself
putting this issue to rest and
disbanding the group?
We’ll probably not be able
to go any further than the
hearing of the (Education and
Workforce Select Committee)
next month. Hopefully this
will happen before the school is
demolished, though that is supposed
to happen in August too,
so we’ll have to see.

Petition delivered to Parliament
• By Sarla Donovan
A PETITION asking that
Redcliffs School return to its
former Main Rd site has been
delivered to Parliament.
Christchurch Central Labour
MP Duncan Webb presented the
200-signature petition on behalf
of Friends of Redcliffs Park last
week.
The petition has been referred
to the Education and Workforce
Select Committee to consider
when it meets in August.
It calls for urgent legislation
enabling the school
to reopen on the
former Main Rd
site and to spare it
from being demolished.
Friends of
Duncan
Webb
Redcliffs Park
spokesman Chris
Doudney said he
was hopeful the select committee
would consider the petition
“before they demolish the
school.”
Demolition work is expected
to commence in late August.
Mr Doudney said the committee
was able to bring findings
to Parliament to be debated and
potentially acted upon.
Port Hills Labour MP Ruth
Dyson was not asked to take the
petition because she had indicated
since 2016 that the school’s
H. C. Cairns – I write in
support of returning Redcliffs
School to its original site
on Main Rd. Redcliffs Park
is totally unsuitable for the
school to be built for the
many reasons already given
in previous correspondence
from other people – prone
to flooding, smaller than the
original site, threat of tsunamis,
objections from householders
adjacent to the park, traffic
problems etc. It would be much
simpler and cheaper to move
the existing buildings on the

shift to Redcliffs Park was a
“done deal”, said Mr Doudney.
He also said Port Hills National
list MP Nuk Korako was not
asked because he had been a
“strong proponent of the new
school,” and Port Hills Green
list MP Eugenie Sage wasn’t well
known to Friends of Redcliffs
Park.
Meanwhile, clearance activity

I drove through
Redcliffs en route to
Sumner during our first trip to
New Zealand from the United
Kingdom. Do you know what
Ministry of Education head of
education infrastructure service
Kim Shannon said clearance
had stopped in the middle of last
week as a specialist team is on
site undertaking archaeological
investigations.
The area is of particular
archaeological interest, as it was
the site of some of the earliest
known occupation of the South
Island by Māori. Areas of interest
are being excavated by hand,
still sticks in our minds? Yes, the
Redcliffs School buildings. They
ranked among the
finest of Christchurch
buildings,
even before the
earthquake.
Over the years,
we have been
impressed by this
country’s regard
for its heritage. So
you can imagine
our shock when, as recent residents
of Sumner, we look on at
the destruction of this beautiful
Ms Shannon said. “This will
ensure any historic material is
recovered, catalogued and recorded
and that the construction
of the new school is not delayed.”
Information regarding the
inhabitation of the area and any
artefacts recovered will be published
by Heritage New Zealand
once it is complete.
Ms Shannon said the research
had been planned from the outset
of the project.
Readers respond to the ongoing saga in Redcliffs
asset. We ask ourselves “why?”
We have not met a single resident
who supports this bizarre
scheme. Who is responsible for
this decision? The motive? It
must be financial. Surely that is
the only possible answer? So who
stands to gain? Mmm.
We plead that those who have
made this decision search deep
into their souls and ask: “Is this
the right way, or will I forever
have this act of destruction on
my mind?” Heritage lost forever,
lost to the next generation, and
the next . . . oh, dear. Gone.
Bay Harbour News asked
local politicians what they
thought about the move to
Redcliffs Park and if they
supported the petition
•Labour MP for Port
Hills Ruth Dyson said the
decision to
build the new
school on the
Redcliffs Park
site “has been
made.” She
said the board
and school
community
supported
that decision because it
Ruth
Dyson
would get the school back
to Redcliffs “up to two
years earlier” than if the
matter was reconsidered.
“It is the legitimate right
of anyone to petition
Parliament and the petition
has now been referred
to a select committee for
its consideration. I look
forward to the consideration
and recommendations of
the select committee,” Ms
Dyson said.
•National list MP for Port
Hills Nuk Korako supported
the relocation of the school
away from the Main Rd
site because
“we couldn’t
guarantee
safety.” A report
commissioned
by the Ministry
of Education
indicated it
would never
be possible
to provide
an absolute guarantee
of safety against the
Nuk
Korako
risk of rockfall. However,
Mr Korako said he had
supported Barnett Park
rather than Redcliffs Park as
an alternative site, as it was
less at risk from flooding or
tsunami. He said he did not
support the petition.
•Green list MP for Port
Hills Eugenie Sage did not
respond to a request for
comment.

build on waterfront
•From page 1
Most of the sites are in
Redcliffs, South Brighton
and Southshore.
CCRU says a restricted
discretionary activity
rule for properties
inside the RUO – a rule
recommended by the
Replacement District Plan
independent hearings panel
– was altered when the
plan was implemented last
year, and people wanting
to build or extend are now
getting into difficulty with
city council planners.
“The final city council
produced hearing
documents omitted the
key paragraph that made
the RUO effective,” CCRU
chairman Simon Watts
said at the meeting.
However, yesterday the
city council rebutted Mr
Watts’ claim.
Said city council head
of planning and strategic
transport David Griffiths:
“The Christchurch District
Plan contains the restricted
discretionary activity
rule . . . as decided by the
Independent Hearings
Panel in their Decision 53.”
However, Linwood-
Central-Heathcote
Community Board
member Darrell Latham is
backing the CCRU view on
the issue.
He said by omitting the
“activating clause” relating
to the RUO, the city
council had made building
within the Southshore
and Redcliffs HFHMA
prohibitive.
“They have not in good
faith followed the intent of
the independent hearings
panel recommendations
and this must be a cause
for serious concern,’’ Dr
Latham said.
Question marks remain
over whether owners will
be able to build within
the RUO – a subset of
more than 1400 properties
where the hazard is from
sea level rise, not river
breaches – after the hearing
panel said Mrs Gilchrist’s
consent was an exception
and “cannot in any way
create a planning precedent
for applications on sites
in other parts of the
Residential Unit Overlay.”
Last month Labour MPs
Ruth Dyson, Duncan
Webb and Poto Williams
met with members of
CCRU and Dr Latham to
discuss the problem and a
potential remedy.
Ms Dyson said after that
meeting they had agreed to
do further investigations
before making a decision
on “what intervention,
if any, is necessary or
appropriate.”
Dr Latham told
Bay Harbour News
yesterday he wanted
Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Minister
Megan Woods to use
her powers under the
Christchurch Regeneration
Act to fast track changes to
the city’s district plan.

Akaroa rates highly
with cruise ship visitors
PICTURESQUE Akaroa
has been named among
New Zealand and
Australia’s top-three cruise
destinations in the annual
TripAdvisor Cruise Critic
Cruisers’ Choice Awards.
It sees Akaroa voted
ahead of all other New
Zealand cruise destinations
for the 2017-2018 season,
taking out third place
in the passenger reviewrating
based awards.
“This award shows that
visitors are clearly enjoying
the wonderfully warm
Akaroa visitor experience
and that’s a big credit to
the Akaroa community,”
said ChristchurchNZ destination
manager Caroline
Blanchfield.
“Akaroa has stepped up
to take on the lion’s share
of Christchurch and Canterbury’s
cruise destination
since the Christchurch
earthquakes, which has
been great for the village,
in spite of the added strain
on the infrastructure
there,” she said.
Akaroa, Tauranga
and Wellington were
named in the top-five of
the Top Rated Australia
and New Zealand Cruise
Destinations category,
with Sydney taking first
place.
Ms Blanchfield said the
impact of cruise ships
visiting Canterbury ports
had positive benefits for the
regional economy.
“Close to 50 per cent of
cruise passengers return
to a cruise destination
they enjoyed for a longer
holiday,” she said.

Kevin O’Sullivan said the
award affirmed the value of
cruise tourism to New

The backstory of
T he A natomy of M elancholy • P art i: I dentity
by
Simon van der Sluijs
*Melancholy: a feeling of pensive sadness, typically with no obvious cause.
**Identity: the fact of being who or what a person or thing is.
I have always been fascinated by trying to visualise human nature, who are we, what
drives us, what moves us, and my personal experiences were more than enough to
explore. A trilogy to allow myself to create a deeper narrative to be more universal
and existential rather than being just about me. I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’
because I feel that it best represents my work and the person I am. Part 1 is about
identity because to me it is the source of melancholy and so that is where the trilogy
needs to start. It shows drawings, paintings and small objects.
Generally the work on show deals with the desire to belong, to be allowed to be, through
confirmation of our fellow beings, and of getting damaged in the process.
There are two separate sections within the exhibition: ‘Little Sorrows’ and ‘Intimacies’
Little Sorrows
Our pets contribute to our identity. Inevitably having a pet also means that the day will
come we have to farewell it ‘Little Sorrows’ is what can happen when we can’t let go
and try to either recreate the friend we were so fond of or make an effort in taxidermy
to preserve through small paintings of mice, hamsters and goldfish and faux taxidermy
objects, mainly in ‘museum boxes’ and under bell jars.
Intimacies (Explicit content)
Sexual identity is the way we think of ourselves in relationship to whom we are
romantically or sexually attracted to. Growing up in a Catholic environment sexuality was
definitely not a topic of discussion or acknowledged as an important part of being. This is
the reason I have made these paintings so small, they fit in a locket and can therefore be
‘locked away’ only to be enjoyed in a private atmosphere.
Part 1 Identity August 2018, Part 2 Dissectum April 2019 and Part 3 Lost and Found
November 2019. All shown at Little River Gallery.

MT PLEASANT costume
designer Tina Hutchison-
Thomas is a finalist in this year’s
World of Wearable Art Awards.
It’s the second time she’s
entered the long-running event
after her initial foray last year
– a futuristic ball gown called
Geogami – catapulted into the
avant-garde section finals.
The former Court Theatre designer,
who now works freelance
from her home workshop, admits
WOW is highly contagious.
“Once you see your costume
up on stage brought to life, you
want to keep going and designing
more. It’s a big buzz.”
While she can’t give many
details about this year’s costume,
Ms Hutchison-Thomas says it’s
based around hand dyed fabric
– and she hints the fabric “isn’t
something you would usually
hand dye.”
It also has 3000 rhinestones
bedazzling it, each individually
glued on.
The idea for the costume came
from the natural world.
“I love it when you go close up
on a moth or butterfly; the scales
are incredible. So that was my
inspiration.”
She confesses the design has
been time-consuming to make,
with around 150 hours spent pattern
making, sewing and decorating
on top of her paid work.
“There have been some long
work days.”
Coming from a more traditional
sewing background, she
had never thought of herself as
creative enough to enter WOW.
“I’ve always been a very traditional
costumier and I never
thought I was arty enough but
there was a window of opportunity
last year and I just thought
why not, I’ll give it a go . . . and
because it’s so highly addictive, I
wanted to do it again.
“I took all my family last year
as a surprise: my husband and
three kids, my parents and my
aunt and my sister all came up.
They’re doing it again this year
and I’ve got my husband’s parents
to come too.”
Following many years as a
costume designer and technician
for the Court Theatre,
Ms Hutchison-Thomas left to
become a freelancer a couple of
years ago.

planting at Orton
Bradley Park
TREES FOR Canterbury will
plant more than 400 natives at
Orton Bradley Park on Sunday.
The annual planting day is
part of an ongoing community
re-vegetation and biodiversity
enhancement project at the park,
which was gifted to the New Zealand
public by Orton Bradley on
his death in 1943 “for the benefit
and enjoyment of the people.”
Thousands of plants, grown
by non-profit group Trees For
Canterbury from locally-sourced
seeds, have been added to the
established collection of mature
trees in the park over the past few
years.
Trees For Canterbury manager
Steve Bush said winter was the
best time for planting as there
was good moisture in the soil and
it gave seedlings the best possible
start. “It’s a great time for families
to get together and the children
are all part of it. Last year we had
three-year-olds out planting with
their families. They’ll come back
in years to come and be able to
say ‘we helped with this.’”
Orton Bradley Park is in
Charteris Bay at the southern end
of Lyttelton Harbour. Signs will
guide people to the planting areas
be out from 10am on Sunday.

AN EXHIBITION of
works by senior pupils from
Diamond Harbour School was
influenced by the life and art of
impressionist painter Margaret
Stoddart.
The pupils visited Stoddart
Cottage, birthplace of the wellknown
New Zealand impressionist
painter.
They learned about her
life and times, the Stoddart
family and about
impressionism.
Their mission was to create
an artwork that responded to
what they saw on their visit
or to use their imagination to
create art which was influenced
in some way by Ms Stoddart’s
work.
She spent her early childhood
in Diamond Harbour among
landscapes which later inspired
some of her best known paintings.
The resulting works from
these young artists will be
on show at Stoddart Cottage
Gallery throughout August.
The gallery is open 10am
to 4pm every Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, and public
holidays.
Works will be for sale and
handmade products by members
of a local art and craft cooperative
are also for sale at the
gallery.
Margaret Stoddart’s paintings
are held in public and private
collections throughout New
Zealand and abroad.
Over 40 are held at the
Christchurch Art Gallery Te
Puna o Waiwhetu and there
are also Stoddart works in the
collection of the Canterbury

300-game milestone for Murphy
• By Gordon Findlater
ALMOST 15 years after making
his debut for Ferrymead Bays’
first team at just 17, central
midfielder Chris Murphy
became the club’s first player to
reach 300 appearances.
Murphy, 31, was recognised for
the achievement following Bays’
1-1 draw with Nelson Suburbs on
Sunday.
“I wasn’t actually aware, I
knew I was close but it came as a
surprise,” said Murphy.
A number of Murphy’s old
teammates and coaches appeared
at Bays’ after-match
function to help him celebrate
the milestone.
“We were pretty frustrated
with the result so it was a happy
moment to go with a frustrated
one.”
Murphy has been a one club
man since moving to Sumner
with his family from Ireland at
14. At first he combined weekend
football for Shirley Boys’ High
School’s first XI with club duties.
“As a young kid you can get
away with two games in a day.
I don’t think the body would
get away with that now,” said
Murphy.
When he cracked the first
team Murphy spent two seasons
playing with his father Neil who
was a striker for Bays.
“I did the dirty work and
hoofed it up front and hoped
he’d finish it off. Often he
MILESTONE: One club man Chris Murphy (with ball) has now played 300 games for Bays’ first
team.

didn’t,” said Murphy.
Remaining at one club for
almost two decades is a rarity
these days, and Murphy recognises
that things could easily
have panned out differently if it
wasn’t for the attachment he has
felt towards the club.
“I used to get asked by various
clubs each year to leave, but it’s
just always been a bunch of my
mates that have been here . . .
When you’re winning it always
helps as well,” said Murphy.
“It may have been different
if we hadn’t been up there but
we’ve always been up and around
the top.”
Murphy says the highlights
of his Bays’ career are the four
Mainland Premier League titles
he has helped the team win.
He says that last year’s title
was made more rewarding by
overcoming old rivals Cashmere
Technical in a title race which
went to the final round.
“They’ve always been the
big rivals right from playing at
under-15 level, when they would
SPORTS
have been Woolston Technical,
right through until now. That
will never go away and obviously
we’ve got Coastal Spirit now
who are bringing some noise to
the party and doing quite well,
but the big one has always been
Tech.”
Murphy has also spent the
last 10 years coaching Bays’
youth teams. He’s now reached
a point in his career where Mika
Rabuka – a player he coached at
under-13 level – has joined him
in the first team. Murphy says
it won’t be long until he’s joined
by more players he has coached,
with Canterbury United youth
player Tyler Mounty pipped to be
the next.
As for how his own first team
plans, Murphy can’t see his days
at premier level finishing anytime
soon. Four hundred may be
on the cards.
“If I can stay injury-free I’d
like to think I could go for another
five years.”
Murphy’s next chance to add
another cap and begin his journey
to an even bigger milestone
comes next Saturday when Bays
travel to Cuthberts Green to take
on Coastal Spirit in the Southern
League.

REAL ESTATE
Addressed to impress
53 Marama Crescent, St Andrews Hill/Mt Pleasant
Auction: Thursday, 16 August 2018, unless sold prior
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room |
2 car-garage | 4 off-street parks | Listing #SM0048
Simply impressive both inside and out,
this pristine property presents like new, is
impeccably crafted and boasts spectacular
sweeping views over the water in an ideal
north-facing aspect.
Situated on the lower slopes of St Andrews
Hill where homes are tightly held and seldom
relinquished, this is your chance to own a
modern, stylish and wonderfully warm slice
of sophistication in a highly sought-after dress
circle location.
Superb sea views provide the backdrop to
everyday living on the top floor with the open
plan interconnecting living areas hosting a
well-proportioned dining space and lounge.
The contemporary kitchen with granite
benchtops strikes the perfect balance between
form and function with servery windows
allowing you to arrange outdoor meals with
ease.
Sliding stacking doors on each level promote
fantastic indoor/outdoor access to the extensive
Kwila decking and aggregate patios where you
can entertain al fresco, while admiring the
manicured gardens and flat lawns which are
superbly landscaped by Texture Plants.
An additional living area on the ground
floor offers excellent flexibility for families
and ensures you can cater to any occasion
while four bedrooms are serviced by two
bathrooms, the master with an ensuite, walk-in
wardrobe and outdoor access. The practicality
of bedrooms and bathrooms on both levels
widens the appeal with every room having
their own views.
Further notable features include a double
garage with over-height doors, ample offstreet
parking, under-deck storage, network
wiring throughout, outdoor speakers, security
cameras and secure boat or caravan parking.
Proximity to the waterfront and various
restaurants and amenities including in-zone Mt
Pleasant School (Decile 10) assures convenience
and underpins your investment, while you’ll
feel peacefully removed from the bustle, you’re
only a 15-minute drive from the central city.
Intimate sea views, an admired address and
ease of living are offered at this immaculate
and elegantly styled residence which is sure to
attract your attention with all that the Port Hills
has to offer right on your back door.
The home is warmed by a gas fire which is
complemented by under-tile heating, ducted
air conditioning but most likely only required
to cool this incredibly warm and special home.
Only available due to owners of 24 years
undergoing a total lifestyle change.
This has to be one of our best offerings to
date so don’t just take our word for it as this
will not last. This property is up for auction on
the 16th August but may be sold prior as our
owners have purchased. Immediate viewing is
recommended.
Open Homes – Wednesdays 5-6pm,
Saturdays and Sundays 2-3pm.

viewing or for more information contact
