Feedback 

wanted 

on plans for 

controversial 

table 

• By Matt Slaughter 

FEEDBACK IS being sought on 

a controversial multi-use table 

tennis table and pump track in 

Shirley. 

The city council began consultation 

last week on a $5000 table 

and two concrete bench seats 

planned for the former Shirley 

Community Centre site. 

Shirley resident Don Gould is 

concerned about the cost of the 

table and is relieved people have 

another chance to make the city 

council change its mind. 

He said a table could be purchased 

for much less than $5000 

and the savings could be spent on 

more urgent matters, like managing 

the climate emergency, which 

was declared by the city council in 

May, and reducing chlorine levels 

in the drinking water. 

“It’s not that I object to civic 

resources, I object particularly to 

throw-away civic resources.” 

He said he was not sure if the table 

would be one of these resources, 

but was pleased that he and others 

now had the chance to decide. 

As well as the table, people also 

have the chance to decide if an 

$87,850 temporary pump track 

should also be installed at the 

same site.

DANNY MEEHAN was a pretty useful 

boxer in his day and his son is now 

following in his footsteps (page 11). 

Daniel Meehan won the junior 60kg 

national Golden Gloves title by unanimous 

decision in Rotorua. 

A student at Christchurch Boys’ High and member of the 

Smiling Tigers club, it follows on from his recent South Island 

Golden Gloves title. Young Meehan is trained by Mark Fuller, a 

useful man with the gloves in his day too. 

Fuller said he wasn’t surprised by Daniel’s win in Rotorua, 

which follows on from previous New Zealand and Australian 

titles. 

“Because of his work rate and his angle changes I think he 

had his opponent flummoxed, it was a really convincing win for 

him,” said Fuller.

Signs at Bottle Lake to be improved 

Bid to stop people getting lost 


MORE SIGNAGE will be 

installed at Bottle Lake Forest 

Park to stop people getting lost. 

The existing signage will also 

be improved. 

City council head ranger 

for coastal and plains Robbie 

Hewson said more map boards 

would be installed and minor 

updates would 

be made to the 

map boards 

already in 

place. 

As well 

as this, Mr 

Hewson said 

pamphlets 

Tim Baker 

showing the 

tracks in the 

park would 

now be available from the 

visitor centre. 

More markers would also be 

installed to ensure walkers and 

cyclists could be sure they were 

heading in the right direction, 

said Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board member 

Tim Baker. 

On average there are between 

five and 10 police call-outs a 

year for people who get lost in 

the park. The Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board asked the 

city council to improve signage 

throughout the park to help 

people navigate it. 

Mr Baker, who previously 

said he has been lost on his bike 

in the park before, said he was 

pleased the city council had 

acted on the board’s request. 

“It’s going to make it a lot 

better and they were very 

reasonable and it wasn’t a big 

deal so it was great.” 

Mr Hewson said the planned 

improvements would take place 

soon. 

“Signs to be updated are 

currently being reviewed and 

work will get under way as soon 

as the changes are ready.” 

FOUND YOU: New signage 

to stop people getting lost in

RESIDENTS’ PARKING 

A parking restriction exception 

scheme could be installed on 

two streets in Upper Riccarton 

and Ilam. The Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board will today consider 

approving the scheme on Athol 

Tce and Rutherglen Ave so 

residents living on the street 

don’t have to comply with the 

P120 time limit restrictions. 

The scheme allows residents on 

the street to purchase a permit 

for a specific vehicle. The cost 

of the permit is currently $54 

per year but is subject to change 

due to the permit’s requirement 

to be renewed annually. 

WATER STRATEGY 

The Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board 

will meet tomorrow to make 

a submission on the city 

council’s Draft Integrated 

Water Strategy. The aim of 

the strategy is to develop a 

framework to help manage the 

city’s water resources, values 

and demands. Consultation 

closes on July 21. The meeting 

will be held at the Te Hapua: 

Halswell Centre at noon. To 

make a submission and to find 

out more information go to

Veterinary practice 

“The Needle” 

Last week the decision was 

made to open up my beautiful 

girl Lola to retrieve a “bent 

needle” somewhere in her 

abdomen. I debated over this 

for 24 hours as I don’t like 

her having anaesthetics and 

I hate cutting her open. She 

was telling me she wasn’t 

right though, lagging behind 

on walks and eventually not 

wanting to leave the house, 

tucked up sore in her abdomen, 

head hung low and those sad 

eyes staring at me. She may not 

speak English but she sure talks 

to me. 

She is loved and adored by 

everyone at the clinic so my 

nurses took blood from her 

and run them in house. Everything tested 

was within normal limits. Richard Lucy then 

ultrasounded her abdomen and again 

nothing of concern was seen - thankfully. 

We radiographed her spine which appeared 

normal. What we did find was what looked 

to be a needle 

sitting ventrally 

in her abdomen. I 

was aware of the 

needle after her 

first surgery to 

remove her kidney 

due to cancer. The 

specialist surgeon 

mistakenly had 

left it behind. I had 

been monitoring 

its position with 

regular X-rays 

and it hadn’t 

moved in years. 

Last week when 

we radiographed her the needle 

had moved and appeared bent, 

necessitating removal. 

My colleague surgically operated 

on Lola as I find it difficult to cut my 

girl open. The rusty looking needle was 

removed and it had passed through a lobe 

of liver causing adhesions to the peritoneal 

wall lining. This would have caused her pain. 

These were freed up and she was closed and 

recovered so quickly with the aid of our “Bear 

Hugger’ which blows warm air around Lola 

on recovery. 

She’s getting lots of TLC at 

home and work and with my 

clients. She’s adored by so 

many and everyone wants 

her to recover speedily. She’s 

fought kidney cancer and 

chemo, split pad disease and 

intervertebral disc disease. 

She’s hard to keep down 

and out for too long. So far 

so good ( Lucky her parents 

are vets!!)- she’s more 

comfortable and 

moving better and 

that needle had 

to go!!

UNSIGHTLY: A pile of shingle, which Burwood Ward city council candidate 

Phil Mauger said he’d clear by the end of last week, was still there on Friday 

morning.

Dangerous intersection upgrade plan 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A PLAN to turn the city’s 

fourth most dangerous junction 

into a T-intersection to reduce 

crashes has received mixed 

feedback. 

The city council has received 

137 submissions on its proposal 

for a $1 million safety upgrade 

at the Middleton, Ilam and Riccarton 

Rd intersection. 

A seminar on the intersection 

was 

held between

week. 

Board 

deputy chairwoman 

Helen Broughton said 

she couldn’t comment on the 

meeting due to it being publicly 

excluded. 

She said there had been mixed 

feedback on banning right turns 

from Ilam Rd onto Riccarton 

Rd, but did not appear to be 

“overwhelming opposition” to 

the plan. 

The plan would involve 

restricting Riccarton Rd from 

Middleton Rd to left turns in 

and out only, as well as narrowing 

the road to allow more 

footpath space for pedestrians. 

The left turn slip lanes from 

Ilam Rd into Riccarton Rd 

would also be removed. 

Mrs Broughton said she 

would prefer to have the intersection 

realigned so that Ilam 

Rd connected through to Middleton 

Rd. 

The intersection is ranked the 

city’s fourth most dangerous 

with 40 crashes with varying 

degree of injury since 2011. 

“It is a very dangerous intersection. 

We have always wanted 

it done but we have never been 

able to get it done, the reason 

now is it is part of the cycleway 

programme,” Mrs Broughton 

said. 

The intersection will be upgraded 

as part of the Nor’West 

Arc Major Cycle Route, which 

was approved in March last 

year.

Bid to stop 

boy racers 


AVONDALE residents want speed 

bumps on their streets to stop boy 

racers causing carnage. 

But city council staff don’t 

believe there is a boy racer issue, 

even though Burwood Ward city 

councillor Glenn Livingstone says 

there is. 

Cr Livingstone recently visited 

Waratah St, Briarmont St and 

Orrick Cres to speak to concerned 

residents. When he was on 

Briarmont St discussing the need 

for speed bumps with a resident, he 

saw what appeared to be boy racers 

speeding past. 

Said Cr Livingstone: “I’ve seen 

the skid marks, too – obviously 

from the rubber.” 

City council transport operations 

manager Steffan Thomas said it has 

not received any complaints about 

boy racers in the streets over the 

last year and there are no plans to 

implement measures to stop them. 

Cr Livingstone disagreed: “Some 

residents have told me that they 

have been reporting in the boy 

racer issue in those streets to the 

council call centre and they haven’t 

had at times the best of responses 

or there hasn’t been any action, so 

they’re feeling frustrated.” 

When asked if Cr Livingstone 

was correct, Mr Thomas did not 

want to comment.

Brutal attack on Jerry 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

NICHOLA Crawford cannot 

fathom the kindness that has 

been shown to her following 

the brutal attack of her german 

shepherd dog. 

The Riccarton resident 

was walking her son’s dog Jerry 

along Wharenui Rd recently 

when three unrestrained dogs 

appeared from an unfenced 

property and attacked him. 

“I was a mess, I don’t 

remember most of it . . . I was 

trying to hold Jerry but he 

was on his choker chain, so 

I was trying to sort of swing 

him around but it was all just 

so quick . . . he was bleeding 

everywhere,” Ms Crawford said. 

The owner of the three dogs 

along with members of the public 

helped throughout the attack, 

but Ms Crawford has not heard 

from the owner since. 

The attack left Jerry with 

puncture wounds along his 

abdomen, numerous bites and a 

wound on his neck. 

He was taken to the vet where 

he was sedated so his wounds 

could be drained, cleaned 

and stitched up – he was also 

prescribed antibiotics and painkillers. 

Ms Crawford said she doesn’t 

blame the dogs or their owner 

KINDNESS: Nichola Crawford has been left overwhelmed by 

the support she has received after her dog Jerry was attacked 

by three dogs on Wharenui Rd. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

– but she would like a fence 

installed on their property and 

has asked the city council’s dog 

control team to follow up. 

“I said to dog control I don’t 

want to take money off them because 

it wouldn’t be right. I have 

already got the money raised,” 

she said. 

Within four days after 

setting up a Givealittle page to 

raise money to cover Jerry’s vet 

bill, $1027 was donated by 61 

people. 

Ms Crawford said most of the 

money came on the day she set 

up the page and she was overwhelmed 

by everyone’s support. 

The vet bill was $950, but Ms 

Crawford also had additional 

costs to cover having Jerry’s 

stitches cleaned. 

Ms Crawford said she has 

been left afraid to take Jerry out 

but she is hoping with “baby 

steps” she will be able to take 

him walking regularly again 

soon. 

Spending concerns raised 

•From page 1 

Mr Gould was also concerned 

about spending $87,850 on the 

pump track, which would only be 

installed on a temporary 

basis. 

“I have no problem 

at all with us spending 

$100,000, because this 

will be $100,000 by the 

time we put it all in, on 

something that’s a permanent 

civic facility, but 

I do have a problem with 

spending that money 

on something that staff now tell 

me is likely to only be there for a 

year.” 

Mr Hardy said a decision on 

the pump track’s future once it 

was installed had not been made. 

“It could be moved to another 

site that requires activation or 

to address another gap in youth

Gold Real Estate Group Ltd. 

In a month that has seen our company 

acknowledged for excellence and for being 

the No. 1 business in our brand across the 

real estate spectrum – for performance 

as a franchise, for auction excellence, for 

having the No. 1 Office in New Zealand and 

Internationally (out of over 900 offices) and 

for having two consultants in the top ten – 

I’m reminded of what it takes to reach these 

challenging heights and to stay there. It’s not 

only the journey and the accolades that are 

worthy of consideration, it’s also about where 

and how you started. 

Over the years, one of the questions I’m 

repeatedly asked is: “How do you identify 

someone who is going to excel in real estate?” 

To be fair, it’s neither straightforward nor 

easy. No-one truly knows exactly who will 

flourish and who will falter, and occasionally 

you can be blindsided by the most unlikely of 

applicants. After many interviews, too many 

to count, and with 22 years of experience, 

I’ve learnt to apply all my senses to the task 

of determining if someone has the attributes 

required to succeed. 

At these meetings I’m looking, listening, 

assessing and hoping that the story I’m hearing 

is true and the attributes I’m seeking are 

present. I’ve met individuals who have turned 

up wearing ripped jeans and an attitude (that’s 

a ‘no’ from me!), who have borrowed a mate’s 

suit and car (points for trying), and everyone 

in between, including academic theorists 

(who are busier thinking than doing). I’ve 

worked with people who spent their entire 

(short) careers looking for overseas buyers when 

the actual buyer was the neighbor next-door. 

Individuals who can’t engage as part of a team 

can also struggle to get the leverage or support 

they need, as teamwork and teams are now an 

established prerequisite within the industry. 

I’ve met amazing people from every walk 

of life and with every qualification, and I’ve 

distilled all this history into the following: 

You will succeed if you want to, if you are deeply 

passionate about the opportunity and if you 

do the work required. And ‘doing’ is not sitting, 

waiting, thinking and overthinking, drinking 

coffee, avoiding making the calls or spending 

endless time on social media. Real estate success, 

contrary to popular belief, is not a part-time job 

nor is it something you ‘fall into’ – because you 

can just as easily fall out. 

The individuals I’ve seen succeed at the highest 

levels have incredible resilience, an astonishing 

work ethic and deliver year after year. The 

common thread that binds them is their 

persistent consistency, ability to think out of the 

square, care for others and high energy. When 

you look at it, that’s the real secret to success in 

every field. To the group of professionals that I 

have the privilege of working with, I’d like to say, 

well done! You truly are champions – and world 

champions at that!

Laid back role for clerk at Firestone 

In this, the first 

of two articles, 

Janet Tillman 

recalls her 

experiences 

while working 

in the office at 

the Firestone 

factory in Langdons Rd. 

My first experience of the 

company was a very positive 

one. At the age of 13, I entered a 

competition which required the 

writing of a jingle which had to 

advertise Firestone’s products 

and to include the word ‘holiday’. 

I came up with ‘For holiday 

road safety the wisest buyers 

choose Firestone tires.’ (The 

American spelling was obligatory). 

I won first prize, a shiny 

green bicycle, the first time I had 

ever owned a new one. 

After finishing at Papanui 

High School in form 6, I 

worked in the city for five years 

as a shipping clerk and, in 1975 

at the age of 22, applied for a job 

with Firestone as an accounts 

clerk. 

Our family lived in Sawyers 

Arms Rd so the short walk to 

work was convenient but I did 

not necessarily see this as an 

advantage as in my previous job 

I had enjoyed the shopping available 

in Christchurch. 

However, I attended the interview 

and was successful. 

My first morning on the job 

was memorable as I had taken 

the shortest route to the factory 

along the railway line adjacent to 

the siding, where I was subjected 

to wolf-whistling from the workers 

loading tyres into boxes, an 

unpleasant experience which led 

me to consider alternative routes 

to work. 

On reaching the calmer atmosphere 

of the office I was shown 

to my desk, one of 20, in a large 

open space flanked by management 

offices. 

My most interesting task was 

the membership of the pricing 

team which had the monthly 

task of generating the retail 

prices of Firestone products sold 

around the country. 

All details were to be kept confidential 

to give the competition 

as little time as possible to react 

to the Firestone price schedule 

announced at the beginning of 

each month. 

The other three weeks of the 

OLD SCHOOL: 

Office equipment 

used by the 

Firestone office staff 

in the mid 1970s. 

month were much more laid 

back with our work for the day 

often finishing around 11am. 

For the rest of the day we had 

to stay at our desks although 

knitting and reading were not 

allowed. We were instructed to 

look industrious and businesslike 

although it was acceptable 

for the clerks to undertake 

tertiary study, ideally in 

accounting or related subjects. 

I was permitted to study a 

language and chose to acquire 

the basics of Hebrew.

SCHOOLS Maddi helps Baby Hawks 

Star Rangi student to 

take up US scholarship 

RANGI RURI Girls’ School 

international student Gloria 

Xuran Hu is a published writer 

and has completed year 13 in two 

terms. 

But If that’s not enough, the 

17-year-old has just left for 

the United States to take on a 

scholarship at Pennsylvania State 

University. 

Careers adviser Kristen Fox 

said Gloria was offered spots at 

four universities in the US with 

scholarship awards totalling 

thousands of dollars. 

“At 17, this young woman’s 

ability continues to really 

astonish people. It’s not achieved 

without a lot of hard work, I 

hasten to add.” 

Gloria had a martial arts 

fantasy novel published in her 

home country of China in July 

2017. Gloria said she decided on 

Penn State because it is a little 

bigger than the other universities. 

“I am still deciding between 

majoring in English or 

journalism but I am leaning 

towards English at the moment. 

Penn has an excellent English 

programme so I would be 

undertaking a four-year degree. 

“Going to study in the US will 

be a big challenge . . . however, I 

see it as a new part of my journey 

of independence. My parents 

don’t have to accompany me to 

university as they did when I 

came to Rangi Ruru and I look 

forward to hosting them at Penn 

State when we arrive there.” 

Gloria says she has prepared 

herself for university life while at 

Rangi Ruru. 

“My teachers have helped me 

understand the importance 

of keeping a balance between 

academic pursuits and spiritual 

rapport. My peers have made 

me realise the significance of 

co-operation. These reflections 

will definitely guide me through 

my university years and life 

afterwards. I want to say thank 

you to Rangi Ruru from the 

bottom of my heart,” she said.

MADDI FAGAN has returned 

home from Indonesia with an 

international softball medal. 

Maddi had her first taste of 

international softball when her 

team, the Canterbury under-15 

Baby Hawks, finished second at 

the Asia Pacific Softball Little 

League. 

The Burnside High School 

student travelled to Jakarta, 

Indonesia, with the team to 

compete against Indonesia, 

Philippines and China. 

They were representing New 

Zealand as national champions 

after taking out the New 

Zealand championship title in 

Palmerston North. 

It was the young outfielder’s 

first time outside New Zealand. 

The different conditions took 

a small toll on her team as they 

lost a nail-biting encounter 

11-9 to eventual champions the 

Philippines in their opening 

game. 

“Our team did really well 

playing in the different 

conditions and we didn’t know 

how good the other teams were 

going to be,” said Maddi. 

Some big-hitting secured the 

Baby Hawks their first win of 

the tournament over Indonesia 

26-0, which put Maddi and her 

teammates on a winning streak 

for their next two games. 

The young Canterbury side 

met the Philippines in the grandfinal 

but lost the tight match 

16-14. 

Maddi returned home with

her silver medal, and 

described her welcome as

too many assessments to catch 

up on.”

Boxing champ’s son takes title 

• By Gordon Findlater 

CHRISTCHURCH BOYS’ High 

School’s Daniel Meehan has 

continued his impressive junior 

boxing career with a win at the 

New Zealand Golden Gloves. 

Meehan, 16, backed up his 

recent South Island Golden 

Glove title by going on to claim 

the junior 60kg national Golden 

Gloves title by unanimous 

decision in Rotorua. 

Boxing is in his blood. Meehan 

is the son of Danny Meehan – a 

former Jameson Belt holder. 

The belt is awarded to the most 

scientific senior boxer at the 

national championships. 

The teenager has been boxing 

for the past four-and-a-half years 

at the Smiling Tigers Boxing 

Club under coach Mark Fuller. 

Meehan’s title came as 

little surprise to Fuller. He 

has previously won two New 

Zealand titles and an Australian 

Golden Gloves title. He also 

came into the NZ Golden Gloves 

on the back of a win in Australia. 

“Because of his work rate and 

his angle changes I think he had 

his opponent flummoxed, it was 

a really convincing win for him,” 

said Fuller. 

Titles were also won by 

Woolston boxers Hamuera 

Tainui, Ryley Sutherland 

and Meehan’s Smiling Tigers 

clubmate Kwahli Beauchamp. 

Tainui took out the junior 66kg 

title, Sutherland won in the 46kg 

cadet, while Beauchamp won the 

40kg cadet title. 

All four Canterbury boxers 

have also been selected in 

the New Zealand junior 

development squad following the 

Golden Gloves. The squad will 

travel to Australia later in the 

year. 

“They’ve actually started 

concentrating on the juniors 

as well which is really good 

. . . this is the first time in a very 

long time that they’ve sent away 

a good size squad like this, it’s 

going to be great and a good sign 

of things to come I think,” said 

Fuller. 

“All of those four boys have 

been around a wee while now, 

they’re only young, but they’ve 

got quite a bit of experience 

and they’re only going to get 

better with what the Canterbury 

association is doing to support 

them.” 

CONTENDER: Daniel Meehan 

won the junior 60kg title at 

the New Zealand Golden 

Gloves. 

Students 

off to China 

with NZ 

women’s 

football side 

THREE footballers from 

secondary schools in the 

north-west have been selected 

to represent New Zealand at an 

under-16 women’s tournament in 

China this month. 

Rangi Ruru’s Samantha 

Senior, Freya Lodge-Whitham, 

of Christchurch Girls’ High, and 

Burnside High’s Claudia Wilson 

will take part in the tournament 

from July 14-22 in Weifang 

City, where they will play three 

matches against yet-to-beconfirmed 

Asian opposition. 

They will be joined by three 

other Canterbury players – Kate 

Taylor, Alyssa Whinham and Zoe 

McMeeken – in the squad of 18, 

which will be staking their claim 

to be part of next year’s FIFA 

under-17 women’s World Cup. 

“It will be a real eye-opener for 

the players in terms of the level 

required and . . . they need to go 

out and showcase themselves, 

both individually and collectively. 

It should give us real clarity 

around where we’re at, which 

would be a good space to be in 15 

months out from the World Cup,” 

said coach Leon Birnie.

Eat healthy using delicious ingredients 

Salads never need to 

be boring, as seasonal 

ingredients are just that 

– seasonal. Winter brings 

delicious flavours and 

textures which go great with 

grains. But don’t forget to 

add a punchy dressing 

Buckwheat with 

autumn vegetables and 

pomegranate dressing 

Ingredients 

250g buckwheat groats, rinsed 

well 

1 bulb fennel, cut into thin 

wedges 

250g pumpkin, peeled and 

deseeded, cut into cubes 

1 red onion, peeled and cut into 

wedges 

¼ cup parsley, roughly chopped 

2 Tbsp fennel tops, roughly 

chopped 

Dressing 

2 Tbsp pomegranate molasses 

1 Tbsp maple syrup 

4 Tbsp olive oil 

¼ tsp ground cinnamon 

Pinch of salt 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 200 deg C. 

Bring a medium-sized pot of 

lightly-salted water to the boil. 

Add the rinsed buckwheat and 

cook for 25-35min. The groats 

should be tender when cooked. 

Drain and rinse under cold 

water. Put into a large bowl. 

While the groats are cooking, 

prepare the vegetables. 

Put the chopped vegetables 

into a bowl with enough olive 

oil to coat them well. Season 

with salt and cracked pepper. 

Toss to combine. Spread evenly 

over a suitably-sized oven dish. 

Roast, turning occasionally so 

the vegetables cook evenly and 

colour all over (30min). 

Add the ingredients together 

and pour over the dressing in a 

small bowl and whisk together. 

Add the roasted vegetables to 

the cooked buckwheat, drizzle 

over the dressing and add the 

herbs. Toss gently to combine, 

taste and adjust, seasoning if

Learn business 

and computing 

for free 

Vision College’s free 20-week Certificate in Business 

(Administration and Technology) is a level 3 course 

that offers computer skills within a business focus for 

those wanting to retrain for modern office systems. 

The course is designed for those wanting to run 

the admin side of their own business, work in an 

administration role, or upskill. While covering 

computer applications like Microsoft Word, Excel 

and Publisher, it includes business report writing, 

communication skills and creating business 

documents. 

Vision College’s self-paced course allows students to 

work through a series of computer-based skills with 

tutor support, at times that suit their lifestyle. “Classes 

are held during normal working hours, but we can be 

flexible with hours that best suit our student’s lifestyle.” 

says Gary Taylor, Vision College Campus Manager. 

“So, the learning is delivered by way of a workbook, 

along with organised tutorials where tutors are on 

hand to offer one-on-one tuition when required. While 

some theory is included, the course is very practical 

and students are at a computer from the first lesson.” 

Added Taylor. 

This course is available for domestic students aged 

16+. 

We recommend students bring their own devices to 

work from, however, we do have computers available 

for students who do not have access to their own.

REAL ESTATE 

Living the dream… 

56 Purau Port Levy Rd, Purau Valley, Lyttelton Harbour 

Price: $799,000 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 living rooms | 2 car garage | Listing Number: 8885 

A charming, delightful 1950’s bungalow set 

on nearly 1 acre of flat and very productive 

land. North facing, sheltered, sunny and 

private, this charming home is in excellent 

order throughout having been loved and 

carefully maintained over the years. 

The top level of the house comprises 2 

living areas, a large modern farmhouse style 

kitchen with plenty of storage, a massive 

master bedroom with adjoining bathroom 

and a single bedroom currently used as an 

office. 

The master bedroom opens onto a covered 

North facing verandah with a cosy coveredin 

area with a day bed, the perfect place to 

enjoy the afternoon sun, peace and birdlife 

and to while away a few hours. Downstairs, 

(externally accessed) are 2 double bedrooms, 

bathroom and a kitchenette/dining area so 

semi self-contained, perfect for extended 

family or teenagers. 

This is a rare opportunity to purchase in 

the beautiful picturesque Purau Valley and to 

obtain a small manageable holding like this is 

really one of a kind. 

The land is a mixture of lawns, gardens 

and the most established and productive 

orchard I have ever seen, with many many 

fruit trees established vege beds and native 

plantings. There is excellent access, a large 

double garage, greenhouse and other useful 

sheds and most importantly excellent water 

supplies. 

My vendors are retiring very reluctantly 

and have loved every minute of the 10 years 

they have spent here. 

Purau Bay is approximately 30 minutes’ 

drive from Christchurch, making it a highly 

desirable destination as it is so useable being 

close to Christchurch. 

Properties in this lovely valley and by 

such a safe swimming beach are defying all 

the odds and selling fast generally as they 

come up very seldom. Excellent swimming, 

boating, walking and stunning sunsets on 

the hills, quick and easy access to Lyttelton 

via the Diamond Harbour ferry (approx. 5 

mins), local shops, cafés and bar make this a 

fun filled place to visit. 

Properties here make an excellent 

investment and Purau Bay and valley is a 

truly magical place to live.

resistance and less turbulence than ordinary jetted swim spas. The design 

features five jets - three on top for resistance and two underneath for lift – that 

create a smooth, air-free current for superior low-impact, total-body exercise. 

Need a spa that fits a narrow patio or backyard? The Sovereign is spacious 

enough for 6 adults to relax in comfort and features a more rectangular shape 

to fit in tighter spaces. It includes all the luxury features from the Highlife® 

Collection with a lounge seat featuring our patented Moto-Massage® DX jet.
