Resilience helps couple 

prepare for Coast to Coast 

Hope found 

after grief 

of losing 

daughter 

SEVEN YEARS ago, Sumner 

parents Lucy and Trevor Hone 

experienced the unimaginable 

challenge of finding hope after 

devastating loss when their 

12-year-old daughter Abi was 

killed in a car crash. 

The resilience they learned 

throughout their grieving process 

is now helping them take on the 

Coast to Coast. 

Lucy had thought about tackling 

the event for more than a decade 

but lack of time to train and a fear 

of Goat Pass had always prevented 

her from fully committing. 

“It’s something I’ve thought 

about doing but has always felt 

beyond me,” she said. 

“And I was terrified of Goat Pass 

– I’ve done a lot of running over 

the years but I’m not comfortable 

climbing over boulders and I 

wasn’t sure I’d be able to get down 

that riverbed.”

YOU HAVE to admire Lucy 

and Trevor Hone (page 1). 

They are in training for the 

Coast to Coast, an epic challenge 

of physical and mental 

stamina. 

The couple have had to have 

an insurmountable amount 

of mental strength over the 

past seven years, after their 

12-year-old daughter Abi 

was tragically killed in a 

much-publicised car crash. 

Lucy has been thinking 

about tackling the Coast to 

Coast for a decade. But a 

fear of the treacherous Goat 

Pass and a lack of training 

time has put the plan on hold 

until now. 

So she will make her debut 

in the tandem event with 

husband Trevor. 

“I knew that with Trevor by 

my side I could somehow get 

through it,” she said. 

I am sure they will.

Freedom camping changes likely 

Submissions 

being 

considered by 

hearings panel 

PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS on 

the freedom camping bylaw 

covering Banks Peninsula are 

being considered this week. 

The hearings panel began 

considering the 97 public submissions 

on potential changes to 

the Freedom Camping Bylaw on 

Monday. 

The bylaw was introduced five 

years ago. 

The proposed bylaw changes 

include creating a specified 

area at Naval Point in Lyttelton 

where freedom campers can 

stay and limiting the number 

of freedom camping spots to 18 

vehicles. 

It also includes creating a City 

Coastal Restricted Zone – where 

freedom campers could stay for 

up to four nights in any 30-day 

period. 

This new zone would prevent 

campers using the current 500m 

rule to move short distances 

every few days and stay in the 

coastal area for extended periods 

of time. 

Furthermore, it would introduce 

a new rule to encourage 

CHANGING LAWS: Public submissions on changes to a freedom camping bylaw 

affecting Banks Peninsula will be considered this week. 

campers to be more careful 

about how they set up their 

camping vehicles and any other 

camping gear. The rule would 

prevent campers from blocking 

thoroughfares and spreading 

out. 

A report prepared by 

city council staff for the 

hearings panel said most of 

the submissions received are 

generally supportive of the 

proposed bylaw changes, 

although some disagreed, and 

others put forward suggestions 

to further improve the bylaw. 

The hearings panel will 

consider all matters raised in 

the submissions and seek advice 

from city council staff before 

making recommendations to 

the city council on the final 

form of the bylaw. 

The aim is to have an 

updated Freedom Camping 

Bylaw in place by the start of the 

summer.

Knitters give babies a warm welcome 

FOUR WOMEN from 

Ferrymead Rotary have knitted 

almost 100 garments for babies 

born at the Christchurch 

Women’s Hospital this year. 

Pat Edward, Debbie Woolf, 

Kathryn Tovgaard and Barbara 

Crooks began the project about 

four months ago, although the 

Ferrymead Rotary group has 

been providing knitted clothing 

to the hospital for some time. 

Kathryn has personally been 

knitting for the hospital for five 

years. 

Barbara said they intensified 

their efforts this year after 

receiving a call for help from the 

hospital. 

All babies born at the hospital 

are given a woollen hat at birth, 

while woollen singlets, matinee 

jackets and booties are available 

for mothers to take home. 

So far, the group has knitted 

more than 60 woolly hats, with 

Pat heading the count. 

The hats produced are a variety 

of different sizes and colours. 

Barbara said Ferrymead 

Rotary has funded some of the 

wool, but all of the knitters’ time 

is given voluntarily. 

They estimate up to seven 

hours goes into making each hat. 

Most of the knitting has been 

done individually, although the 

four have got together from time 

to time to share wool and 

swap notes. 

Acknowledging Rotary clubs 

used to be men only, Kathryn 

said: “People don’t necessarily 

connect Rotarians with knitting 

but anything is possible.” 

She said being a part of 

a Rotary club was a family 

tradition. 

“One thing I said a long time 

ago was that I always wanted 

to help out in the community 

throughout my life,” she said. 

“A group of people can do 

so much more than just an 

individual.” 

CHAMPION KNITTERS: 

Ferrymead Rotary’s Kathryn 

Tovgaard, Debbie Woolf, Pat 

Edward and Barbara Crooks 

have knitted almost 100 

garments for new babies, 

while Pat tries on a hat for 

size (above). 

Ferrymead Rotary community 

director Debbie Woolf said the 

club is also working on making 

singlets and booties for Plunket 

and supplying the Methodist 

Mission with bedding, jerseys, 

hats, scarves, gloves and shoes. 

The Mission gives these items, 

donated or sourced by Rotary 

members, to homeless people.

Quilters share their colourful creations 

• By Samantha Mythen 

THE BAYS Harbour Quilting 

Group is exhibiting its spring 

collection at Stoddart Cottage in 

Diamond Harbour throughout 

September. 

Marilyn Hopkins has been 

a member of the group for a 

decade, with 10 years’ of her 

creations on display. 

She said the group of nine 

started with just a few friends, 

quilting in the Diamond 

Harbour hall. 

But the building was “too big 

and too cold” so the friends 

moved their quilting catch-ups 

to each other’s homes. 

The retirees, based around 

Lyttelton Harbour, now meet 

once a month for the day. 

They occasionally travel over 

the hill for a crafting session 

with friends who have since 

moved into the city. 

At each session, they share 

knowledge and skills, inspiration, 

morning tea and laughter. 

Marilyn’s mother Josephine 

was a dressmaker and taught her 

how to sew when she was young, 

although she only took a liking 

to it when she started making 

clothing for her first grandchild. 

As that grandchild grew older, 

Marilyn turned to quilting. 

“I like quilting as you can 

make it up as you go along or 

you can copy a pattern, you don’t 

have to try and fit it to anyone,” 

she said. 

“It’s also just about simple 

sewing, you don’t have to do 

those horrible things like sewing 

in a zip.” 

One of the favourite quilts she 

has created is on her bed and 

is made with doilies from her 

mother. 

VIBRANT: Marilyn Hopkins with her multi-piece quilt, one of 

several on display at Stoddart Cottage in Diamond Harbour 

this month. 

It usually takes Marilyn a 

month to make a quilt, but one 

of her pieces in the exhibition 

took three months. 

“It is made up of thousands of 

pieces of fabric,” she said. 

Her current project is making 

a ‘block of the day.’ 

A member of the Kiwi Quilters 

Facebook group posted a 12x12 

inch block each day during 

lockdown, and Marilyn decided 

to take on the challenge. 

Alongside the 18 quilts on 

display in the exhibition, there 

will also be fabric-covered 

notebooks, bags, cushions, tea 

cosies and soft toys.

Dog park idea needs 

community input 


IF DIAMOND Harbour 

residents want a dog park, a 

group is needed to spearhead it. 

This is what the Diamond 

Harbour Community Association 

told resident Liz Wyllie 

when she suggested a dog park 

idea at the association meeting 

last Monday. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member Scott Winter, 

who was present at the meeting, 

had received advice on the matter 

from the city council, which 

he passed over to Wyllie. 

“They would need to find 

some city council land, and for it 

to be called a dog exercise area, 

not a dog park as there are fewer 

regulations for an exercise area,” 

he said. 

Wyllie said she was told the 

city council parks team, which 

oversees Christchurch’s urban 

and regional parks and botanic 

and heritage gardens, has “no 

money so we will need to get 

some financing to fence it and 

put in water.” 

She is now trying to decide 

whether the idea is something 

she can commit enough time to. 

SUPPORT: Residents are keen to have a dog exercise area 

established in Diamond Harbour. 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Does 

Diamond Harbour need a 

dog park? Email your views 

to samantha.mythen@ 


Wyllie had suggested the idea 

of a dog park to the Diamond 

Harbour Facebook group in 

July. 

“So many people have dogs 

would be lovely to have a place 

that they can play and run not 

annoying others,” she said. 

“I hate having to drive to town 

for this when we live in such a 

lovely place.” 

Another resident had 

suggested the idea in June, with 

many people supporting the 

idea. 

“My dog gives it two paws up,” 

said resident Robert EH. 

City council community 

parks manager Al Hardy said 

if the idea was supported, the 

community board could then 

request city council staff to 

investigate the suitability of an 

area and any funding available 

for establishment.

Break-ins prompt call 

for more street lighting 


SEVERAL RECENT break-ins 

and a car theft in Diamond 

Harbour have residents 

wondering whether improved 

street lighting will prevent 

further thefts. 

After Scott Halliwell had his 

work truck broken into and 

tools stolen during lockdown, 

he approached Banks Peninsula 

Community Board member and 

fellow Diamond Harbour 

resident Scott Winter 

about the idea of street 

lighting. 

“I do think putting in 

lighting could be a good 

idea. I live at the old end 

of Koromiko, the dark 

part of the street, which 

is not very well lit,” he 

said. 

“It could act as a 

deterrent as it’s more likely to be 

seen and noticed when acting 

suspiciously.” 

Winter said several other 

residents had also approached 

him with their concerns about 

the thefts, and he brought this up 

at last week’s community board 

meeting. 

Chairwoman Tori Peden 

said, as a result, the board had 

requested more information 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you 

think Diamond Harbour 

needs more street 

lighting? Email your views 

to samantha.mythen@ 


from the city council on the 

potential for installing and 

extending more street lights in 

Diamond Harbour. 

“If there were potential 

plans for this, it would go 

back to the community 

for consultation,” she 

said. 

Said Winter: “It 

would then be up to the 

residents on whether 

they want more lighting 

or not.” 

Tori Peden Community board 

member Howard Needham 

said it would be a matter of 

“strategic placement,” balancing 

needs for safety with preventing 

light pollution. 

City council acting head of 

transport Lynette Ellis said 

the city council is currently 

preparing the information 

requested from the board. 

“We are aiming to present 

this to the board in October or 

November,” she said.

NEWS 

• From page 1 

After hearing about a fellow 

gym member’s experience of taking 

part in the multisport event 

and realising she could compete 

in tandem, Hone decided to enter 

in the 2022 Coast to Coast, persuading 

Trevor to enter with her. 

“I knew that with Trevor by 

my side I could somehow get 

through it,” she said. 

Lucy and 

Trevor are 

currently 

training with 

two bike rides, 

three runs and 

one kayak a 

week, following 

a programme 

from Team CP 

endurance coach Richard Greer. 

Complete “newbies,” to the 

event, Lucy said they are both 

feeling “exhausted and rather 

bewildered” with their training 

right now. 

The Port Hills, Sumner beach 

and Avon-Heathcote Estuary are 

their training environment. 

They had never white water 

kayaked before, which was a 

“really steep learning curve.” 

“I don’t think I’ve ever been as 

scared as I was that first weekend 

on the white water, but we’ve 

practised lots on the estuary and 

each week it gets a bit better,” she 

said. 

Having researched resilience 

for more than a decade and now 

working as a resilience teacher 

with the New Zealand Institute 

of Wellbeing and Resilience, 

Lucy said she has been looking 

at the Coast to Coast challenge 

through a psychological lens. 

She started her research at the 

University of Pennsylvania in 

Philadelphia, which in 2009 was 

the only place in the world where 

she could study the field. 

Her own resilience was tested 

in the extreme in 2014 when Abi, 

her best friend Ella Summerfield 

and Ella’s mother Sally Summerfield 

were killed instantly after a 

Dutch businessman failed to stop 

at an intersection and crashed 

into their car near Rakaia. 


Physical training a challenge 

Abi Hone 

RACE BEGINNINGS: The start of the Coast to Coast 

multisport race at Kumara Beach on the West Coast. 

More than seven years on from 

the tragedy, Lucy said, without 

a doubt, her work has given 

her a mental advantage when 

taking on training for the Coast 

to Coast, but the physical side 

of training is often the bigger 

challenge. 

“I can overcome the mind 

games. I have that self-belief . . . 

but I need to put things in place 

to overcome the physical side,” 

she said. 

“I’ve got a very busy start-up 

business and my body’s not 

feeling as good as it used to. 

I’m tired all the time from 

training and it’s a juggle to keep 

progressing but allow time for 

recovery too.” 

More than 600 bales of 

spring pea straw were sold 

over the weekend during the 

annual fundraiser organised 

by the Ferrymead Lions 

Club. As a result, more than 

$2000 was raised, which 

will be donated to different 

causes such as Camp 

Quality for children with 

cancer at Living Springs, 

the Diabetes Foundation 

and New Zealand guide 

dogs. The next pea straw

Dinghy races start yachting season 

OPEN DAY: The new Pleasant Point Yacht Club facilities will host a dinghy race meeting this weekend. Senior boats compete in one of the many races 

the club holds each sailing season out on the estuary. 

• By John Cosgrove 

TACKING through Covid-19 

regulations ensures a fair wind 

for the Pleasant Point Yacht Club 

as it starts sailing this weekend. 

On Saturday, the club will 

launch its 101 st season on the 

estuary. 

Club committee member Nigel 

Humphreys said they will be out 

on the estuary from the South 

New Brighton Park as they host 

an open race for dinghy sailors. 

“Despite Covid we’ll be out 

there, but because of the delay 

in opening by many other clubs 

in the district we are expecting 

a slightly lower turnout than in 

previous years.” 

The race starts at 2.40pm and 

Humphreys said spectators and 

those interested in sailing are 

welcome to come along. 

“Our 101 st season is going to 

be a good one as we have new 

boats and facilities on hand, 

they are great and make a vast 

improvement from five years in 

containers.” 

He credits the new facilities 

and the heightened interest 

in sailing due to the recent 

America’s Cup and Olympics 

as the reason for the growing 

interest in sailing. 

“Some come for the social 

side and some come to race, to 

help them all we will be starting 

junior and adult Learn to Sail 

programmes in October.” 

The junior course will run 

during the school holidays from 

October 11 through to October 

15, while the adult learn to sail 

course will run from October 17 

through to November 13. 

The courses follow the 

Yachting NZ coaching 

programme and will be run 

by the club’s learn to sail coordinators 

Dan O’Sullivan 

and Brett Hawkes, with 

assistance of experienced club 

members. 

No experience is needed to 

take part and the club will 

supply yachts and life jackets 

… but recommend suitable 

footwear and warm clothing.

Upshot Coffee 

consent 

application 

delayed 


UPSHOT COFFEE’S resource 

consent application has been 

delayed, but will be submitted 

before the end of the month. 

Coffee shop co-owner Justin 

Good said the application is currently 

being finalised by a planner 

and lawyer. 

Good had hoped to submit it 

last week. 

“We had to get submissions prepared 

by several parties to support 

the application,” he said. 

“But [it] will be submitted as 

soon as possible.” 

Upshot Coffee has been operating 

with a temporary accommodation 

licence in Heathcote Valley 

under the Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Act. However, the legislation 

expired in June, meaning the 

cafe’s licence also became void. 

The city council compliance 

team has since agreed to non-enforcement 

until September 30, allowing 

the coffee shop to operate 

until then. 

In order to continue long-term 

operation, resource consent 

is needed. While the resource 

consent is being processed, the 

owners are hoping to get an 

extension of non-enforcement to 

stay open. 

Pioneers of the Bridle 

Track 

This coming Sunday marks the 

128 th anniversary of the colonial 

governor Lord Glasgow’s signing 

into law the Electoral Act of 

1893 that finally gave all New 

Zealand women over 21 years 

of age the right to vote in their 

parliamentary elections. 

With the passing of this legislation, 

the country became the 

very first democracy in the world 

to provide for women’s suffrage. 

The centenary celebrations 

of Women’s Suffrage 1893-1993 

were accompanied in Lyttelton 

by a Bridle Path mural, proposed 

by the artists Ronnie and Sarah 

Kelly, depicting pioneer women 

climbing the Bridle Path. 

Selected by the Lyttelton Harbour 

Basin Suffrage Committee, 

their completed work can still be 

seen on the wall that runs from 

the start of Bridle Path Rd, at the 

western end of London St, to the 

base of Ticehurst Rd. 

Featured in the Christchurch 

Star on September 4, 1993, the 

artists are shown in front of a 

section of the 42m mural with 

the museum’s own Ann Jolliffe 

and Wendy McKay. 

These centenary celebrations 

were included in the museum 

contribution to a 2015 exhibition, 

Through the Glass Ceiling, at 


Treasures from the past 

the Tin Palace in Lyttelton. The 

exhibition featured a sculpture 

of New Zealand’s renowned suffragist 

Kate Sheppard alongside

portraits by Julia Holden depicting

These groundbreakers included 

Elizabeth McCombs,

New Zealand Parliament as the 

MP for Lyttelton in 1933 on the 

40 th anniversary of Women’s 

Suffrage.

Local law firm welcomes 

new senior lawyer 

The Ferrymead office of long-established 

law firm Saunders & Co offers the full 

spectrum of legal services for residents in 

the Bay Harbour News area. Comprising 

partner Nicola Coombes, associate 

Charlotte Grimshaw and lawyer Buvi 

Naash, along with support staff, earlier this 

year the team welcomed a new member, 

senior lawyer Linda de Paor. 

Originally from Ireland, where she grew 

up in a seaside suburb of Dublin, Linda 

says she always wanted to be a lawyer, but 

also loved English literature and French. 

Accordingly, she initially completed an 

arts degree in English and French at 

University College Dublin, which included 

a year at a university in Brussels. This 

was followed by an intense post-graduate 

law course and further study at the Law 

Society of Ireland, with mandatory inoffice 

training. 

“The professions of solicitor and 

barrister are separate in Ireland; those 

wanting to be a solicitor study at the Law 

Society of Ireland and those wanting to 

become a barrister study at King’s Inn,” 

Linda explains. 

Senior lawyer, Linda de Paor 

After she qualified in 2003, Linda’s 

career path included working in general 

practice, in-house legal work at a financial 

institution and four years at one of 

Ireland’s largest local authorities practising 

property and commercial law. 

During this time, Linda married and a 

few years later, with a second child on the 

way, the family had the opportunity to 

take time out for some international travel. 

“My husband was then offered a job in 

New Zealand, with a two-and-a-half-year 

work to residency visa. That was just after 

the earthquakes. We were only going to 

stay for the two and a half years, but we fell 

in love with New Zealand and the lifestyle 

here, and here we still are.” 

Within the first year, the family moved 

to Cass Bay. 

“Even though things were difficult to 

adjust to in the post-quake landscape, we 

have never looked back. Cass Bay is a truly 

beautiful place and being beside the sea 

is in keeping with the experience of my 

husband and I growing up. Though we still 

love Ireland, and miss it, our two boys, 

now 13 and nine, are true Kiwi kids. Our 

youngest was born here. They love surfing 

and skiing – they’re very ‘outdoorsy’.” 

Linda says there are other families in 

similar situations living in Cass Bay, and 

because of that it is a very close-knit 

community. 

“We are lucky to have good friends and 

we support each other, so this makes us 

especially happy to live here.” 

To practise law in New Zealand, Linda 

was required to sit some additional exams, 

and once she completed those, she joined 

a city law firm. 

“I thoroughly enjoyed working there, 

but when the opportunity came up at 

Saunders & Co in Ferrymead, I was 

delighted to take it. I wanted to be closer 

to home and be more connected to my 

locale, so it was the perfect fit for me.” 

Linda specialises in conveyancing for 

both residential and commercial clients 

as well as general commercial and private 

client legal work including drawing up 

wills and power of attorney documents. 

She is also keen to extend her practice into 

relationship property law. 

“I really enjoy my work and, in 

particular, I love the client interaction – 

getting to know clients and developing a 

rapport with them. As lawyers, we are in 

a position of trust, and I take that very 

seriously. 

“Our office environment is very 

harmonious, supportive and collaborative, 

and we socialise together as well. We are a 

very happy team both inside and outside 

of work.”

Return to Berlin 

by Ellen Feldman 

For fans of The Light After the War, a young woman haunted by a 

heartbreaking secret finds hope and forgiveness in a city shattered by war. 

Young Meike Mosbach and her brother escape Berlin just before the horror of 

Kristallnacht, leaving their parents and little sister to follow them to America. 

But their family never arrives. Haunted by their loss, Meike becomes 

Millie and graduates from college to work as a magazine 

journalist while David enlists in the army to work in intelligence. 

After the war, they both return to a shattered Berlin, hoping 

against hope to find their family. Postwar Berlin is a wild 

west where drunken soldiers brawl, spies ply their trade and 

‘werewolves’ - unrepentant Nazis - scheme to rise again. 

Consumed with rage at her former country, Millie’s job for 

the army rooting out Nazis from regaining a voice seems the 

perfect outlet. But her anger begins to thaw as she is faced with 

the daily reality of what the war has done to everyone, and the 

enigmatic Major Harry Sutton, who seems too eager to be fair to the 

Germans and far too perceptive about Millie. In the rubble of postwar Berlin, 

Millie must come to terms with a devastating secret and find the courage to 

embrace love - and a new beginning.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Proud Samoan builds 

future for family 

Tony Siva is a proud 

Samoan and even prouder 

since he returned to 

study and got himself an 

apprenticeship to become a 

builder. 

“My plan for the future 

is to buy or build my own 

house and hopefully go 

back to Samoa to rebuild 

my village,” he says. 

Prior to studying at Ara 

Institute of Canterbury, 

Tony worked as a sales 

assistant for Fonterra. He 

says he decided to become 

a qualified builder because 

he wanted to build a better 

future for his family. 

Tony completed the New Zealand 

Certificate in Construction Trade Skills at 

Ara, which was free through Ara’s Pacific 

Trades Training scheme. During his studies, 

Tony was encouraged to explore his culture. 

“We were given our own tools for the 

course, and we learned how to interpret our 

culture through woodwork,” he says. “So as 

well as learning how to build a house and 

things like retaining walls, decks and fences, 

I also made a To’oto’o (Samoan chief ’s staff).” 

Ara’s Pacific Trades Training scheme 

provides extensive pastoral support to 

students. “It helps you get to your end goal,” 

Tony says. “There’s lots of care and support 

provided - like bus money, petrol vouchers, 

food vouchers, counsellors and advisors. 

The Pacific Island Students Association 

offers a lot too, and Ara puts on lots of social 

and sports events throughout the semester.” 

Tony says returning to study as an adult 

was a little daunting, especially as this was 

his first experience of tertiary-level study. 

“At first I thought it would be a bit awkward 

because of my age, being surrounded by 

kids who just finished school. But my 

tutors were great – they made learning 

relevant and fun – and I was encouraged to 

persevere and complete the course.” 

Tony is undertaking his apprenticeship 

with Home NZ Construction. He’s applying 

the skills he learned at Ara and picking up 

many more on the job, while earning a good 

wage. He’s quick to encourage other adults 

to consider learning a trade. 

“It’s never too late to study or change 

your career path. If you work hard and put 

the time and effort into a trade, I guarantee 

you’ll reap the benefits.”

Honda’s hybrid technology put to test 

HONDA IS no stranger to hybrid 

vehicles. 

It all started in 1999 with the Insight 

and since then Civic and Jazz 

(Fit) hybrids have long been on offer, 

and if you take into account Fit 

and Civic models that have landed 

pre-owned from Japan, then the 

company has a fairly broad hybrid 

representation in the New Zealand 

market. 

A new Jazz has just landed and 

the line-up includes a hybrid. 

However, it must be said that this 

hybrid works quite differently than 

previous generation versions. 

The newcomer has a two-motor 

system driving the front wheels. 

Yes, the petrol engine works in 

typical hybrid fashion, working 

to promote drive and charging 

the lithium-ion battery pack. The 

entire system is seamless and as a 

driver you’d never know there is a 

complex set of mechanicals under 

the bonnet. 

The e:HEV Jazz sits in a 

three-model line-up that starts at 

$28,000 for the entry-level Life. A 

Crossstar version adds $2000 while 

the e:HEV Luxe at $35,000 represents 

economical motoring and 

environmental benefits for those 

who want to join the electric revolution 

but also want the versatility a 

petrol-fuelled engine offers. 

One of the aspects I particularly 

like is the range of the Jazz hybrid. 

When I picked the evaluation 

car up it was full of fuel, offering 

around 800km before a fill-up was 

BIG CHANGES: The latest generation Honda Jazz has 

many styling differences from that of its predecessor. 

HONDA JAZZ E:HEV: State-of-the-art hybrid driveline. 

necessary. Of course, I never drove 

that distance, but in the 280km I 

did travel the fuel gauge barely left 

the top mark. 

In real terms, Honda claim at 

best possible usage a 2.8-litre per 

100km combined cycle average. 

My time in the e:HEV Jazz concluded 

with the readout showing 

4.8l/100km that I thought was quite 

remarkable given that my driving 

style is never that thrifty. 

What makes the e:HEV Jazz so 

economical is the way the engine/ 

motor combination works. The 

engine is largely biased towards 

recharging the batteries; sure, there 

is associated drive when required 

but the motors do provide a large 

part of momentum. 

What’s more, the hybrid Jazz just 

builds on what has made the model 

so popular in generations past, it 

has always been a fuel miser, even 

the petrol-only models are rated 

with a 5.8l/100km combined cycle 

average. That’s something that 

Honda has focused heavily on over 

the years, efficient engines have 

long been a priority. 

Driving the hybrid Jazz requires 

no special technique, if you weren’t 

told it was a hybrid I doubt that 

you would find anything different 

about it, except for the engine 

cutting in and out as it gets about 

its work. Honda has focused on 

simplicity and that’s what makes it 

so it intuitive to drive, the controls 

and layout are deep but simplistic 

to use. You can also select an electric 

drive only function, that will 

give you a range of about 40km, 

depending on weight in the car and 

the type of journey ie: hills or flat 

roads and driving style. 

The Jazz e:HEV is also loaded 

with features and specification such 

as full leather trim with heated 

seats up front, keyless entry and 

ignition, Apple CarPlay, cruise 

control, and 9in central dash 

display that incorporates large and 

easy-to-understand icons. 

If you are thinking that’s a lot of 

kit to fit into a small car, bear in 

mind that the Jazz is the space master. 

It may be compact, but Honda’s 

designers have made use of every 

centimetre of space and it works 

functionally. 

Luggage capacity is rated by 

Honda at 304-litres with the rear 

seats in place, extending to 1205-litres 

when folded flat. Honda’s 

legendary ‘Magic Seat’ configuration 

allows both fold-flat or flip-up 

flexibility, the latter giving higher 

load space. 

Honda, as a manufacturer, is also 

very proactive in terms of building 

safety into its models. The e:HEV 

Jazz gets a full suite of safety kit that 

is labelled Honda Sensing and it 

includes the electronic and mechanical 

functions that keep you out of 

trouble in the first instance. It forms 

part of the criteria that easily meets 

a five-star Australasian New Car 

Assessment Program rating. 

• Price – Honda Jazz e:HEV, 

$35,000 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4045mm; width, 1695mm; 

height, 1537mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1497cc, 72kW 

(+80kW), 131Nm (+253Nm), 

continuously variable 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 2.81l/100km 

I took the evaluation car on my 

normal highway route heading 

west to Hororata and returning 

to the city via Dunsandel. It is an 

adept open road cruiser with quiet 

motion and solid road feel. Vision 

through all quarters is vast, and if 

you look at the way the panoramic 

front windshield is angled well 

forward of the dash panel you get a 

fairly good idea of how well the car 

is engineered in the first instance. 

In terms of handling, the Jazz 

feels nimble and agile, that’s no 

surprise, it is light and what weight 

is in the car sits low in the floorpan. 

In comparison to its length 

and width, the height of the Jazz at 

1.53m doesn’t affect the handling, 

gravitational movement is minimal. 

What’s more, the Jazz gets a 

perfect ride, the spring and damper 

rates have been chosen sensibly, 

there is much comfort on offer 

without the compromise to suit 

better handling. I must mention 

also the feel through the steering 

wheel, there is good self-centering 

return and the promise of solid 

feedback from the fuel-saving Yokohama 

tyres (185/60 x 16in). 

Further to the fuel usage performance 

I mentioned earlier, the Jazz 

hybrid’s four-cylinder engine also 

has the goods in term of overall 

ability. Honda rates the 1497cc unit 

at 72kW and 131Nm, both outputs 

realised mid-way through the rev 

band, and if you add in an extra 

80kW and 253Nm from the hybrid 

system, there is strength well in 

keeping with the Jazz’s purpose. 

For the record, an acceleration 

time of 8.5sec to make 100km/h 

from a standstill is possible along 

with a highway overtake time of 

5.8sec to make 120 from 80km/h. 

Several of my acquaintances own 

a Jazz, or Fit, and one of them even 

has an old Fit hybrid that is still 

giving good service. That person 

is always boasting about fuel usage 

and the associated low running 

costs. 

I’ve tried to convince him that 

the new e:HEV Jazz is an obvious 

step forward when the time comes 

to upgrade. I know that he will be 

perfectly satisfied if that does come 

to fruition.

Moncks Bay Masterpiece in the Making 

1 Mulgans Track, Sumner 

Section 943m² 

Supremely positioned across from the idyllic waters of Moncks Bay, this 

943sqm (approx.) site represents a once in a lifetime opportunity and provides 

a magnificent setting for a modern abode. 

Presented to the market for the first time in 55 years, this tightly held parcel 

previously played host to a cherished family home constructed around 1912, 

but the time has now come for another household to make its mark. 

This Moncks Bay location is unrivalled for sun, shelter and scenery, serving up 

intimate water views from its unobstructed position, ensuring the outlook is 

yours to enjoy indefinitely. Superbly planted throughout with an established 

platform and pathways and to help you visualize your dream. 

This vacant and elevated section currently has council maintained access up 

Mulgans Track or down from Kinsey Terrace. Potential to reconstruct another 

garage on the roadside below. Situated near the local yacht club, beach and 

coastal pathway, it’s also a short distance from Sumner Beach, where you can 

unwind by the sea or indulge and the area’s numerous bars and eateries. 

Demand in this area is extraordinarily high and supply remarkably low, 

meaning this established section with excellent walk-on access will be snapped 

up incredibly quickly. Selling “as is, where is”. 

Contact Paula or Simon for further information. 

Auction: Thursday 30 September at 12pm, on site (unless sold prior) 

Agent on Site: Saturday and Sunday 3.00 - 3.30pm

Family Favourite by the Beach 

69 Nayland Street, Sumner 

3 bedrooms, 2 living, 1 dining, 1 study, 3 bathrooms, 3 car garaging 

Offering an enviable coastal lifestyle, this three-bedroom residence promotes 

everyday ease and is positioned to please, being only a block off the beach in 

Sumner’s sought-after Golden Triangle. Designed by the departing vendors, 

this two-level property has served admirably as a family home for over 20 years, 

featuring living and accommodation options across both floors, ensuring it’s well 

suited to any number of circumstances. 

Comprising three bedrooms and three tiled bathrooms, two of each are located on 

the top floor, including the master with its ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. A versatile 

third living zone also occupies the top floor, flowing out to a sun-filled balcony 

where you can admire valley views, the Sumner hillside and glimpses of the ocean. 

The third bedroom and bathroom are situated downstairs along with a well-sized 

study that could be converted into a fourth bedroom should you require. 

The freshly carpeted layout also contains various ground floor entertaining zones, 

including an expansive open-plan lounge and dining area, which naturally runs off 

the kitchen, while a formal living space provides a private alternative for quieter 

occasions. Hardwood decking provides you with a superb setting for outdoor living, 

embracing both sun and shelter amid the established garden with its impressive 

ginkgo tree. Enjoying effortless access on the Sumner flat, this property offers no 

shortage of parking space, with an excellent off-street area complemented by a 

newly carpeted triple car garage with internal access. 

Gas heating and cooking connections, double glazing, a heat pump, gas fire, night 

store and partial under-tile heating heighten comfort and practicality, the latter of 

which is further amplified by ample storage options, a separate laundry, an alarm 

and a central vacuum system. With the village and beach also on your doorstep, this 

property doesn’t fail to impress. Contact us for more information. 

Auction: Saturday 2 October at 11.30am, on site (unless sold prior) 

Open Homes: Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday 1.00 - 1.30pm

few years, as well as upgraded flooring and carpets. However, the most recent 

enhancements come in the form of interior paintwork and a new master ensuite 

which deliver comfort and convenience from the outset. There is still room to 

further add your mark. The layout also displays functionality, featuring a shared 

kitchen and dining zone that’s naturally accompanied by the lounge. Indooroutdoor

the spacious deck, which flows beyond to the well-proportioned garden.

contentment, while a carport and wide driveway offer varied parking options 

for multiple vehicles. Enjoying the advantage of privacy and picturesque valley 

views, this sun-soaked property is ideally suited to families, being a stroll from 

Barnett Park, Moncks Bay and the Coastal Pathway, while the amenities in 

Redcliffs and Sumner are also a short drive away. Don’t delay; arrange a viewing 

today. This is for definite sale.
