Marriner St
residents
‘over it’
• By Louis Day
THE CITY council has
apologised for failing to prevent
Marriner St in Sumner from
flooding after the heavy rainfall
last week.
The apology comes after the
city council promised action to
prevent further
flooding on
the street last
year. In May
last year, a
city council
spokesperson
told Bay
Harbour News
Darrell
Latham
the drain
outlet, which
is located on
Scarborough Beach, would be
cleared prior to future weather
events.
However, the drain was not
cleared on Monday last week,
which resulted in the flooding.
“Unfortunately, the action
plan was not followed correctly
for the Marriner St pipe outlet
due to a miscommunication
between the city council and
the contractor, for which we are
sorry,” said city council land

Mark Mullen.
Marriner St resident Rob
O’Neill said the flooding has
been a problem for the past 24
years. “We are just over it. They
have promised to address it for
as long as I can remember. It is
a bit of a joke now, a joke that is
not funny,” he said.

YOU CAN see why Marriner St residents
continue to get hacked off when heavy rain
comes (see page 1).
The city council says keeping a drain
outlet on Scarborough Beach clear is the
key to stopping flooding on the street.
Last week when the downpour came it flooded. Apparently
there was “miscommunication” between council staff and the
contractor which cleans the drains when weather forecasters say
it is going to rain.
That’s not much consolation for the long suffering residents of
Marriner St, who say the problem has been going on for years.
Let’s see what happens the next time it rains.
Miscommunication may not be an acceptable reason.

Pay plan for board members
• By Louis Day
CITY COUNCILLORS could
face a financial dilemma this
year: Sacrifice some of their
salary for lower paid community
board members.
The Remuneration Authority,
which sets
the pay of city
councillors and
community
board members,
said if the city
council wished
Andrew
Turner
Sara
Templeton
to increase community
board
remuneration
following the
October 12
elections, it
would have to
come from the
money allocated
towards the
salaries of city
councillors.
After the elections,
councils
around New
Zealand will allocate their governance
pools, deciding on the
salaries of city councillors and if
any money from the pool will be
put aside for community board
members.
Deputy Mayor and Banks
Peninsula Ward city councillor
LOW PAY: Banks Peninsula Community Board member John
McLister is not running in the local body elections because of
concerns over money and time.
Andrew Turner, who is paid
$118,220, said he would support
a decision to sacrifice the salaries
of city councillors to supplement
the Banks Peninsula Community
Board.
“I think the level of pay for the
Banks Peninsula Community
Board is not adequate and is certainly
out of line when compared
to other city boards,” he said.
Heathcote Ward city councillor
Sara Templeton, who is paid
$102,400, said she would also be
open to city councillor salaries
being used to better remunerate
the board. She is concerned the
current model was preventing
people from running for community
boards.
“We need to enable a wide
range of people to stand for our
community boards, not just
in Banks Peninsula but across
the city, part of that is better
remuneration,” she said.
Four members of the Banks
Peninsula Community Board
told the Bay Harbour News they
may not stand in the local body
elections due to concerns over
the money they receive and the
time pressures they face.
Banks Peninsula board members
– excluding the chairwoman
and city councillors – currently
receive $9670 a year. That is
less than half the $24,098 paid
to Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board members.
Banks Peninsula chairwoman
Pam Richardson is paid $19,342,
while Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community Board
chairman Mike Mora ($48,196).
The current remuneration
model is set by population, so
boards with larger populations
get better remuneration.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board member John McLister
said the remuneration board
members received was
“ridiculously low” for the
amount of work they have to do.
“I will not run because
financially, it is harmful,” he
said. “I don’t think we do less
than the inner city community
boards and I don’t think they
have the complex issues that we
have.”

Ship has sailed on saving Kia Ora
• By Louis Day
A BADLY damaged historic
racing yacht stranded in
Lyttelton will not be
restored.
The 121-year-old Kia Ora,
which has been sitting on
Lyttelton Port Company land for
more than 20 years on the corner
of Norwich Quay and Donald St,
will be destroyed.
LPC planned to dispose of the
vessel unless the owner came
forward and agreed to pay for its
removal.
Family members of Robert
Bryson, the last owner of the
boat, have decided not to remove
it because of its poor condition.
They have salvaged pieces of it as
mementoes instead.
Ian Knewstubb, former
chairman of the now-defunct
Norwich Quay Historic Precinct
Society, said the vessel was of
high significance.
“A boat built not long after the
Kia Ora called The Rainbow in
Auckland has just been restored
and they spent $800,000 on
it. That is how these boats are
looked upon in other parts of the
country. Down here it is different,
I don’t think anyone gives a
hoot about maritime heritage in
Canterbury,” he said.
The Kia Ora was sunk in the
1960s and was moved by Mr
Bryson to a vacant section in
Locksley Ave, Dallington.
It was then gifted to the
Norwich Quay Historic Precinct
Society and relocated to its
current location where it has
deteriorated to a condition
DECAY: The Kia Ora vessel will not be restored to its prime condition like in 1900, after
sitting on Lyttelton Port Company land for more than 20 years.
beyond repair.
Mr Bryson’s granddaughter
Emma Graham said the Kia Ora
was well past the point of saving.
“It was borderline 20 years
ago, so the ship has sailed so to
speak,” she said.
“I would love to have that
boat fixed and going again,
but it is just beyond repair. My
grandfather should have fixed
it all those years ago, but he had
so many other projects and also
heart problems to deal with.”
LPC port services and security
manager Tony Simpson saw the
boat as a potential risk to the
public.
“Our first step was to place
fencing around the Kia Ora, but
we believe this is an inadequate
long-term option to mitigate the
risk, as the stability of the way it
is propped up and the condition
of the hull itself led us to believe
that it could collapse,” he said.
The vessel was designed by
More time to make seaplane submissions
• By Louis Day
THE PUBLIC now have until
the end of the month to make a
submission on the plan to bring
seaplanes to Lyttelton Harbour.
Submissions were initially due
by April 30 but the Civil Aviation
Authority has extended the
deadline out to May 31.
The authority is seeking
feedback on Rangiora-based
company Peninsula Air
Ltd’s plan to construct a
waterdrome in Lyttelton
Harbour.
The 1km runway
would be located
between Rapaki and
Quail Island and provide
seaplanes with an area
to take off and land.
One of Peninsula Air
Ltd’s directors Mark Christensen
Mark
Christensen
told Bay Harbour News the
seaplanes would be used to
take people on scenic tours
of the peninsula.
“It is still very early
days, but we are thinking
about providing a service
that would complement
all the other tourist
operations in the
peninsula,” he said.
Mr Christensen hopes the
project will emulate the Sydney
seaplanes experience.
“In concept, it is a similar
operation to the Sydney one
involving a seaplane that takes
people on scenic flights,” he said.
“If you look at the Sydney
operation, they also deliver
people to tourist destinations as
well.”
Public submissions can be sent
to: aerodromes@caa.govt.nz
Professor RJ Scott, head of
Canterbury College’s engineering
school and cousin of Antarctic
explorer Captain Robert Falcon
Scott.
The Kia Ora would go on to
win the annual regatta in 1900
against staunch opposition, such
as The Rainbow.

WILD: Peacocks in Lyttelton are being relocated to protect rare geckos and
skinks.
Peacocks moved after
threat to shoot them
• By Louis Day
WILD PEACOCKS are
being relocated from part
of Lyttelton to stop them
eating endangered geckos
and skinks.
The move comes after a
farmer sent her
neighbour, Janelle
Wills, a legal letter
stating she would
shoot the peacocks
which entered her
property.
The farmer,
who has declined
to be named,
said the peacocks
eat geckos and
skinks on her
property.
Miss Wills feeds the
wild peacocks and can
sometimes have up to 30
around her house.
She said she was
“heartbroken” to have
to relocate them and
“disgusted” the farmer had
plans to eat them.
“They climb around my
house and look through
Anita
Spencer
my windows at me and, as
soon as I leave my house,
they follow me. It’s going
to be heartbreaking to see
them go,” she said.
The farmer’s legal
letter stated any peacock
which wanders onto
private property is
considered to be
trespassing under
the Impounding Act
and is permitted to
be shot.
She also told Bay
Harbour News: “I
certainly hope to
eat one and provide
meat to several
people.”
“If I just had sheep
it would not matter but
with these other creatures
[skinks and geckos] it
makes for a very different
situation. It is like a
peacock eating a diamond
and that diamond is of
value to New Zealand, it is
not just me that is losing
out.”
Department of
Conservation senior
biodiversity ranger Anita
Spencer said peacocks
posed a potential threat to
skinks and geckos.
“Peacocks have wide
diet preferences and are
interested in anything that
moves. Overseas they eat
lizards, rodents and snakes,
so they could potentially
eat a threatened lizard if
they came across one,” she
said. Ms Spencer confirmed
there were rare geckos and
skinks in the area.
“We know there are three
threatened lizard species
in the area and we have
been told by the property
owner two of those species
can be found on her land.
DOC hasn’t carried out any
formal surveys to confirm
this, but we understand a
herpetologist has visited
the property and identified
the lizards.”
Miss Wills said the
peacocks are being
relocated throughout the
Canterbury region with the
help of Serendipity Animal
Rescue.

The Butterfly Room
By Lucinda riley
Posy Montague is approaching her seventieth birthday. Still living
in her beautiful family home, Admiral House, set in the glorious
Suffolk countryside where she spent her own idyllic childhood
catching butterflies with her beloved father, and raised her own

Despite the memories the house holds, and the exquisite garden
she has spent twenty-five years creating, the house is crumbling
around her, and Posy knows the time has come to sell it.
Then a face appears from the past - Freddie, her first love, who
abandoned her and left her heartbroken fifty years ago. Already
struggling to cope with her son Sam’s inept business dealings,
and the sudden reappearance of her younger son Nick after ten years in Australia, Posy
is reluctant to trust in Freddie’s renewed affection. And unbeknown to Posy, Freddie - and
Admiral House - have a devastating secret to reveal.

DIMMED: Lights in the Lyttelton Harbour have been reduced in intensity after
complaints from Diamond Harbour residents.
Turning down the lights
• By Louis Day
LIGHTING IN Lyttelton
Harbour has been dimmed
following complaints
from Diamond Harbour
residents.
The red and green spar
buoys have been turned
down to half the intensity

The lights were put in
place by the Lyttelton Port
Company to help guide
ships through the harbour.
Diamond Harbour
resident Nathan Graham,
who previously described
the spar buoys as looking
like “a Christmas themed
accident scene,” saw it as
a step in the right
direction.
“What we had initially
was ridiculous and now it
is nowhere near as bright

Drones cause more issues
• By Louis Day
DRONES ARE continuing
to be a problem in the Bay
Harbour News area.
Lyttelton resident
Sandra Cunningham was
watching television in her
living room recently when
a drone began hovering
above her porch at about
9pm.
“The incident was
disturbing as it hovered
there, less than 10ft (3m)
above my head. It remained
motionless for nearly 1min.
I had the creepy feeling that
I was being watched,” she
said.
It comes after a
low-flying drone was
suspected of spying on
teenage girls just after
Christmas last year.
The drone was seen
hovering over Whero Ave,
Diamond Harbour, about
6.30pm on December 27.
Anna Clinch, 14, was in
a swimming pool with a
teenage friend, when she
saw the drone.
She believed it was being
used to spy on them.
Anna said the drone was
flying near power lines.
“It just hovered above
the pool while we were
swimming for about
30sec and we were really
concerned about it,” she
said.
“We moved out of the
way because we thought
it was a bit bizarre and
went inside. And the drone
continued to fly back and
forth over the house a
couple of times [before
leaving].”
The Civil Aviation
Authority states drone
operators must have
consent from the owner of
the property they want to
fly over.
The CAA does not
investigate breaches of
privacy, and investigations
are dealt with by police.

Apology over
flooding in
Sumner
•From page 1
Dr Latham said this was
one of a series of flooding
events since the city council
formulated an action plan last
year.
“The current approach
of manually clearing beach
drainage outlets is costing
ratepayers thousands of
dollars and it appears to be
not working particularly well
because drainage outlets are
buried in sand or they cannot
be located. This approach is
not sustainable and given the
recent storm event, it is now
time for the city council to
acknowledge that the current
methodology is not effective
and to investigate a more
effective plan of action and
solution to this problem,” he
said.
The city council is currently
spending $20,000 a year to
keep the drains clear prior to
weather events.
Mr Mullen said it is
investigating whether the
beach level is likely to fall,
meaning sand is less likely
to block drains, or whether
longer-term solutions may be
necessary.

Skepticism over berth benefits
• By Louis Day
LYTTELTON business owners
are not convinced over the
economic benefits the new cruise
berth will bring.
It was announced last week the
Lyttelton Port Company’s new
cruise berth is scheduled to open
in November next year.
While smaller vessels
have continued to visit,
large cruise vessels have been
unable to berth at Lyttelton Port
since the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
With the new cruise berth in
place, LPC will be able to
welcome cruise vessels which
cater for more than 5000
passengers and 2000 staff.
However, business owners are
concerned tourists will bypass
the port town and go directly
into the central city.
“I don’t know if it will have
any impact because the ones that
currently come, they just ship
everyone to town anyway. On
days when cruise ships come we
notice no difference in business,”
said Shroom Room owner Koryn
Hope.
Eruption Brewing co-owner
Steve Leftly said cruise ships
currently brought little to his
business.
“We have only been exposed
BIG PLANS: 3D still images of what the completed cruise berth will look like when it opens in
November next year.
to the smaller ones [cruise ships]
and they only tend to have a
handful of people that actually
come into Lyttelton,” he said.
ChristchurchNZ destination
development manager Anton
Wilke said it was working on a
bus schedule that would benefit
the local economy.
“There is ongoing liaison
between ChristchurchNZ and
LPC with regard to how the
transfers could look and how
they might pan out, the details
of that are not nailed down at
this point but we are certainly
very conscious of the needs of the
Lyttelton community,” Mr Wilke
said.
Lyttelton Coffee Company
Fire rages, homes at risk
owner Stephen Mateer was more
concerned about the impact the
larger cruise ships would have on
the environment than what they
would do for his business.
“It is going to do a good job of
blocking my view of Quail Island
from my house,” he said.

SNACK: Vittoria shares a post-mushroom afternoon tea with Loki.
Fungus freak-out
AFTER NEARLY six
months in the role I’m
getting pretty confident,
but last week I had a major
freak-out which brought
me back to earth.
Like any toddler, Vittoria
is quick on her feet. Not like
regular quick mind you,
any adult can smash a toddler
in a foot race.
Nah, toddlers have a
magic power which lets
them teleport to wherever
you don’t want them as
soon as their parents’ eyes
are off them.
Last Tuesday, I looked
away for a second and
she was standing on the
TV cabinet (cue lounge
rearrangement).
That was not the worst
one though. Recently, I
turned away to check my
phone as we were playing
out front and before I knew
it she had grabbed up a
mushroom from the bunch
growing near the bins and
shoved it in her wee gob.
I’m no botanist – and I
don’t even know if botanists
know about mushrooms – so
I had zero clue what it was.
All I could think about
was that it could be poisonous.
So I fished out what I
could of the mushroom and
washed her mouth out. Vittoria
was not impressed.
Potential futures rushed
through my mind; bolting to
the emergency room, Vittoria
foaming from the mouth,
her in a hospital bed.
So I rang the poison
hotline for the first time in
my life and was happy to be
calmed, reassured and have
signs to keep watch for.
I kept a sample of the
mushrooms and made
the classic “don’t worry,
Vittoria’s okay” phone call
to Laura. An hour later,
through some research, I
found out the mushroom
was an edible species.
The relief that Vittoria
was actually going to be fine
VITTORIA
& Matt
had another element to it.
I felt like if she had
actually been sick from the
mushroom, or needed to go
the hospital, it would prove
that I was a bad parent and
incapable of looking after
her on my own.
It was on my watch.
“What would people
think?” actually went
through my head even
though I feel I took all the
right steps in the situation.
As the TV cabinet episode
proves, I didn’t quite
learn my lesson.
Now I just have all of the
regular parenting worries to
deal with. Easy.

Wastewater overhaul
AKAROA’S ageing
wastewater infrastructure
is set to be overhauled.
City council senior
project manager Kylie
Hills said the work which
includes wastewater main
replacement, inspections
and pipe repairs, will be
disruptive but essential.
He said parts of the
town’s wastewater pipes
nearing the end of their
expected service life.
“To minimise the impact
of the disruption, we have
waited until the cruise ship
season is over and until
after Easter,” he said.
There are several aspects
to the work, which centres
on reducing the amount of
extra water getting into the
wastewater system through
ingress and infiltration
from groundwater, roof
gutters and downpipes
illegally connected to the
network (down pipes are
supposed to be connected
to the stormwater system
or roadside kerbs) and
from private gully traps
that receive surface water
runoff.
Last year the city council
completed a survey of
the Akaroa wastewater
network using distributed
temperature sensing.
This identifies where
colder groundwater
and rainwater has been
entering the network
and where pipe repairs
or replacements may be
needed.
“The survey showed that
ingress and infiltration
makes up about 40 per cent
of the annual volume of
wastewater reaching the
Beach Rd treatment plant,”
he said.
“That’s much higher
than we would like,
and this work aims to
reduce the volume of
wastewater from Akaroa
and improve the quality
of treated wastewater
being discharged into the
harbour. It will also reduce
the size and cost of the new
disposal system, whichever
option is chosen.”

Rāpaki marks 150 years
RĀPAKI CHURCH celebrated
its 150th anniversary on
Saturday.
More than 200 people
gathered for a special service
to commemorate the historic
church, which opened in
1869.
Matua Douglas Couch, who
grew up in Rāpaki during the
1930s and 40s, said the church
was a central meeting point for
the community in those days.
“We used to go there when
the church bell rang. Sometimes
we were down on the beach and
wouldn’t hear the bell and if you
got home at dinner and hadn’t
been to church, you’d be in
trouble,” he said.
The small weatherboard
church, which can hold 80
people, has recently undergone a
significant restoration.
The church was closed
following the earthquakes and
the restoration work began last
year after funding was received.
The restoration included
repairs to the south sanctuary
wall as well as the replacement of
the rotten main window
with a replica of an earlier
window based on an old
photograph.
The steeple was rebuilt

steeple was clad in.
The surrounding fence has
been built in a style based on an
1871 painting of the church with
posts made from the old Quail
Island jetty.
The restoration work was
completed with an emphasis
on “minimum intervention”
to ensure the cultural heritage
value of the building has been left
intact.
This means details, such as
names scratched into the wooden
pews decades earlier, have been
left untouched.

PEST FREE Banks Peninsula has

Dr Miller said the project

peninsula by 2050.
“The fund may be used to

Dr Miller said they were hoping
to build on the work of the

a key part of that,” said society
secretary Marie Gray.

Call for less cruise ships
• By Louis Day
“WE WANT to see an end to
Akaroa being used as a tourist
delivery depot.”
Those are the words of Akaroa
Ratepayers and Residents
Association president Harry
Stronach during his submission
on the city council’s draft Annual
Plan last week.
Mr Stronach called for a
reduction in
cruise ship
numbers in
coming
seasons.
“Somewhere
in this building,
there might be a
Harry
Stronach
department with
a door that says
sensible planning
department,
well if there is there is nobody at
home,” he said to city councillors.
“The main street of Akaroa,
Rue Lavaud, is not wide enough
for two way traffic you have to
weave around the parked cars
and some days there are over 40
tourist buses trying to use it as a
highway.”
A survey conducted by the
association in March found that
69 per cent of respondents felt the
number of cruise ships should be
limited, with the average
number proposed being 40 per
year – less than half of the 92
ships, which stopped in Akaroa
during the 2018-19 season.
Mr Stronach was concerned
about the cruise ship schedule for
the coming season.
“Look at the plan for the next
Christmas and New Year period,
over that time normally the town
is full anyway. What is scheduled
for this coming year is an
additional 27,000 passengers over
that period.”

“The community have had

The ball was then spun wide to
Crossdale, who burned past his
defender to score and level the
game 19-19.
Fullback Eiji Kaneda then held
his nerve to kick the conversion
and give Sumner a 21-19 lead.
With just 3min to play,
Sumner successfully held
possession, before winning a
scrum penalty on full-time to
take the win.
With five games in the first
phase of the competition
remaining, Sumner are still well
outside of top six contention. But
they will be looking for a strong
run before the competition is
split into a top and bottom six.
On Saturday, Sumner will
travel to Ilam Fields to play
bottom-of-the-table Canterbury
University at 2.45pm.

Small Mazda SUV has further appeal
WHEN MAZDA launched its
CX-3 crossover/sport utility
vehicle in New Zealand four years
ago, I was so smitten with it I
described it as being one of the
company’s finest vehicles, it was
certainly one of my best drives for
2015.
Four years down the track, not
a lot has changed, there’s now an
upgraded CX-3 and it still exudes
the feel and vigour that made
the first generation model so
memorable, only more so.
Like before, the CX-3 lands in
six grades with four-wheel-drive
options along the way. All share
the same naturally aspirated
2-litre engine, but there is now
the option of two high grade
models Limited and Takami,
the latter is a range of high
grade models that are filtering
all through the Mazda line-up,
and I can report from previous
experience with Takami grade
it is something that gives those
models special appeal.
All that aside, the CX-3 this
evaluation focuses on is a midspec
front-drive GSX and it lists
at $36,695. For the record, the
entry-level GLX sits at $31,995,
while the Takami tops the range
at $41,695.
Even in GSX form the CX-3
wants for little, it has all of
the ingredients that make you
feel comfortable, and there is
enough gadgetry to keep the
technophile happy. Bear in mind
that in this specification it also
gets an i-Activesense safety
upgrade which includes blind
spot monitoring, traffic sign
recognition, smart city brake
support reverse and radar cruise
control. Mazda’s safety suite of
technologies easily qualifies for
a five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment program rating.
While I consider the CX-3 to be
MAZDA CX-3: Two and four-wheel-drive options.
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
a true SUV, it is small and its size
won’t appeal to everyone, it is a bit
tight in the rear seating area but
for me that’s never been an issue,
the car feels so right to drive, and
for a small family it will easily
suffice as it makes good use of its
compact proportions. There is
also a purposeful amount of rear
cargo space – according to Mazda
– 264-litres to 1174-litres.
What I like most about the
CX-3 is its normality. Everything
is traditional, there are no tricks
with the engine and the gearbox
is a torque converter automatic.
While it appears simple on the
surface, you also have to take
into account that the driveline
incorporates Mazda’s SkyActive
technology which promotes
economical fuel usage without
compromise.
This has been the direction
Mazda has largely focused on
as a car maker; it isn’t hugely
into hybrids or electric vehicles,
but it simply makes internal
combustion engines work with
amazing efficiency.
As a result, the CX-3 is rated
with a 6.3-litre per 100km
(45mpg) combined cycle fuel
usage figure and that is easily
achievable. Without trying,
the fuel usage reading on
the evaluation car’s digital
display was constantly listing
around 7l/100km (40mpg). At
100km/h the engine is relaxed
(2100rpm), sipping fuel at the
rate of just 4.5l/100km (63mpg)
instantaneously.
If you think this economy
comes at the expense of
performance you need not be
worried, Mazda claim power
outputs of 110kW and 195Nm
from the 1998cc engine.
The CX-3 is free-revving and
spirited, it’s lively to drive, and
because it isn’t carrying too much
weight (1297kg) it feels agile and
nimble, and will return a 9sec
standstill to 100km/h acceleration
time.
Along with the solid response
from under the bonnet, the
CX-3 is a hoot when corners
arrive. It steers with beautiful feel
and feedback, it can be driven
enthusiastically such is its poise
and composure, all of the time the
suspension provides occupants
with a comfortable, controlled
• Price – Mazda CX-3 GSX,
$36,695
• Dimensions – Length,
4275mm; width, 1765mm;
height, 1535mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1998cc, 110kW,
195Nm, six-speed
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9sec
• Fuel usage – 6.3l/100km
ride as well as absorbing
the road undulations without
upsetting steering response, nor
body balance.
If you weigh up all of these
ingredients, the CX-3 is a lot
more than meets the eye. It is
built with all of the fun factor that
is Mazda’s ideology, and that is
why I rate it so highly as a driver’s
car, it is so involving.
It is also well appointed, and
given this is the CX-3’s second
makeover it wants for nothing
inside. GSX buyers have the
choice of a leatherette/cloth trim
or leather for an extra $1600.
Elsewhere there is keyless entry
and ignition, satellite navigation,
intuitive display screen readouts,
sport drive mode and my
favourite inclusion, the standard
fitment of a CD player, which is
great for us old dinosaurs who
haven’t fully adapted to the new
digital music technology.
I’ve written many times in
recent reviews about the quality
of product that is coming out of
Mazda factories, the upgraded
CX-3 would be very much a
preferable choice, and if I do get
the chance to buy a new car to
see me through my impending
retirement, then something out of
this Japanese stable will be right at
the forefront of any decision.

Tucked privately away behind a fence, there
is much on offer here. As you would expect
from a quality home like this, the indoor/
outdoor flow has been maximised to take
advantage of the spacious decks, entertaining
area and easy-care gardens.
With enough space to easily accommodate
the family, there is a clean and contemporary
living area plus a well-appointed kitchen with
ample scullery storage. Boasting four double
bedrooms with built in robes, the master suite
enjoys an ensuite with double shower to avoid
the morning rush! With every consideration
for comfort, the high spec double glazing,
hydronic under floor heating and extra thick
walls will keep you and your little ones toasty
warm throughout the colder months.
Of course living so near the sea, you
will probably have plenty of toys to store!
So whether it’s a home for your kayak,
surfboards or boat that you are looking for -
this is the place for you! With an extra large
double garage, plus a spacious workshop/
studio and ample off street parking this is an
outstandingly practical property.
As appealing as the home itself is, the
location is the grand slam! Just a minute or
two to walk to the beach & village, you can
stroll down for a surf in the morning, a coffee
in the afternoon and a beer in the evening
(or vice versa - who are we to judge?!). The
schools, parks and bustling village are just
some of the reasons that this is such a well
loved community.
Our vendors have loved this home but
it’s now time for them to work their magic
on another project, so this is a fantastic
opportunity to secure your family’s future.
