CONCERT: The Sumner Silver Band, led by conductor Vickie van Uden, performing at the Old Band Rotunda on Sunday. 

Remembrance Sunday 

‘an honour’ for band 

• By Dylan Smits 

THE SUMNER Silver 

Band performed its first 

Remembrance Sunday concert 

since the pandemic to a 

crowd picnicking in the warm 

weather. 

The band played a repertoire 

of memorial songs from 11am 

to about 100 spectators in front 

of Cave Rock. 

“It was fantastic. It was so 

great to honour Armistice 

Day,” said conductor Vickie van 

Uden. 

Remembrance Sunday, formerly 

Armistice Day, celebrates 

the end of World War 1. 

After a rendition of the Last 

Post and a two-minute silence, 

the 34-member band performed 

songs such as It’s a Long 

Way to Tipperary. 

Despite being mostly a British 

holiday, van Uden said the band 

performed to remember both 

Commonwealth and British 

soldiers who died in the world 

wars. 

From the UK herself, van 

Uden was a globe-trotting 

professional trumpet player 

before moving to Sumner and 

becoming conductor of the 

band. • Turn to page 4 

More police 

a top 

priority for 

Weenink 


NEW BANKS Peninsula MP 

Vanessa Weenink says increased 

police numbers and presence in 

the electorate is a top priority for 

her in Government. 

She said the greatest demand 

for additional officers comes from 

Sumner and Woolston. 

“People have complained about 

the lack of police around there. I 

know businesses are focused on 

that, with quite a huge increase in 

retail crime.” 

But Weenink is short on 

detail as to how her plan will be 

achieved. She told Bay Harbour 

News yesterday she is not sure of 

the processes involved. 

“There’s no book that I can 

read. I’ll start by learning through 

experience.” 

But whilst she says Sumner and 

Woolston are priority areas for 

her, it will be police chiefs who 

ultimately decide. 

“That’s really an operational 

matter for police to consider.” 

She also wants more police visible 

and accessible to the public. 

“A bit more of police actually 

walking around and out and 

engaging with people.” 

Weenink said she will meet 

with police based in the electorate 

as soon as she can.

Fire chiefs prepare residents 

for a high-risk fire season 


FIRE AND Emergency New 

Zealand has been meeting 

with Bay Harbour residents’ 

associations to help them 

prepare for the hot, dry fire 

season ahead. 

“It’s just about 

bringing that 

awareness back 

to people, that 

it’s going to be 

drier. 

“We just need 

Dean 

Harker 

to be a bit more 

cautious than 

perhaps we have 

been over the 

past couple of years,” said FENZ 

community risk manager Dean 

Harker. 

Harker said FENZ has met 

with the Diamond Harbour 

and Redcliffs residents 

associations, to refresh 

community-wide and personal 

property preparedness. 

“It’s pleasing to see the public 

is concerned and wanting to 

know how they can be better 

prepared and increase their 

readiness as well,” he said. 

Harker said fire risk will be 

highest from early January to 

March. 

On Banks Peninsula and the 

Port Hills, high winds from 

the El Nino weather pattern will 

be a major risk for spreading 

fire. In New Zealand, El Nino 

can bring more rain to the west 

and more dryness to the east. 

Harker recommended 

residents pay attention to the 

wind forecast to decide what 

time of day to conduct activity 

with a fire risk. 

Even a stone hitting a lawn 

mower could ignite grass, 

which could be spread by wind, 

Harker said. 

“There’s times of day that 

might be good to do that.” 

The terrain in the Port Hills 

and Banks Peninsula makes it 

more at risk of fire, Harker 

said. 

“The slope actually makes fire 

travel faster.” 

Harker said FENZ 

recommends residents prepare 

their own properties to combat 

the risk of fire. 

“(Things like) making sure 

that the gutterings are all 

clear. Not having firewood 

DEVASTATING: 

The Port 

Hills fire in 

February 2017 

burned more 

than 1600ha, 

claimed the 

life of one 

firefighter and 

destroyed nine 

homes. 

or anything like that stacked 

around or beside your house. 

Keeping your lawns nice and 

short as well.” 

He said FENZ has been 

conducting a “multi-agency 

approach” to best prepare for 

the tougher season. 

FENZ is also using its 23 

automated weather stations to 

determine fire risk based on 

temperature and wind strength. 

Harker said during risky 

periods, fires will be restricted 

to those with a permit or 

banned entirely, depending on 

the assessed risk.

Bid to 

increase 

speed limit 

• From page 1 

“I’ll meet with them and see what 

they would like to say and see what 

their priorities are.” 

Weenink also has a set of infrastructure 

priorities for the electorate. 

She wants to get funding for the 

better maintenance of Dyers Pass 

Rd, or see it transform into a subsidiary 

state highway to prioritise 

funds towards it. 

Weenink also wants to see an 

increase in the limit on State Highway 

75 between Halswell and Little 

River from 80km/h to 100km/h. 

“That’s one thing that I’d like 

to see if the evidence says it’s safe 

enough to do that.” 

Weenink said she will start 

“hopefully by Christmas,” advocating 

for these issues. 

“I think it’s important, when we 

can, to have face to face meetings 

to be able to highlight the things 

that are really important to the 

electorate.” 

Weenink plans on attending as 

many community events in the electorate 

“as she physically can.” 

She encourages her constituents 

to visit her monthly stall at the Mt 

Pleasant Farmer’s Market from 

February, or email her at

Growing Christchurch’s ‘lungs’ 

Silver band 

entertains 

in Sumner 

• From page 1 

She has toured with Kanye 

West and played for Queen 

Elizabeth II. 

The band’s performance was 

a family-friendly affair, with 

members putting out picnic 

rugs, and games for the children 

watching. 

“They were entertained so the 

parents could sit and watch,” 

Van Uden said. 

She said the band was not 

bothered by the hot day. 

“They are so used to playing 

these glorious summer days. We 

had such a beautiful, cool breeze 

coming from the sea, but not 

enough that it blew the music off 

the stands. It was just perfect.” 

The band will next perform at 

the Sumner Community Carols 

outside the Village Inn on 

December 8. 


AN AMBITIOUS project to 

plant areas of Banks Peninsula 

with 10,000 giant native trees is 

nearly halfway to its 2025 goal. 

“We like to 

think of the southern 

Port Hills as 

a potential area 

to grow the lungs 

of Christchurch,” 

said initiative 

Sophie 

Hartnell 

co-ordinator Sophie 

Hartnell. 

Since 2021, 

signatory groups 

of the Te Kākahu Kahukura initiative 

have planted 4165 totara 

trees as part of the Podocarp 

Enrichment Programme. 

They passed the milestone of 

4000 podocarps at the end of the 

last planting season in October. 

Giant podocarps include some 

of New Zealand’s most iconic 

natives, such as totara, kahikatea 

and mataī. 

Hartnell said totara were 

planted first due to the species’ 

relative growth speed and resilience. 

Te Kākahu Kahukura is a collaboration 

between 18 environmental 

organisations, agencies, 

hapū, and private landowners, 

overseen by the Banks Peninsula 

Conservation Trust. 

Its name represents the goal 

of the project. Kākahu means to 

dress or clothe, while Kahukura 

is a Māori god, in legend 

responsible for creating Banks 

Peninsula’s forests. Natural 

regeneration, planting and 

pest control are all parts of the 

initiative. 

Planting the giant podocarps 

is a key aspect. The initiative’s 

signatories will begin planting 

kahikatea and mataī next year. 

Hartnell is unsure whether the 

programme will reach its 2025 

goal due to the pandemic causing 

delays at the start. 

“We anticipated we could get 

the 10,000 in the ground, it may 

take a bit longer.” 

The large trees will seed the 

land and make way for thriving 

native forests. 

Hartnell said it is a crucial 

local solution to help address 

climate change and the global 

biodiversity crisis. 

“The Canterbury Plains are 

sort of stripped of any . . . native 

biodiversity. The Port Hills 

seem like the perfect place to

remedy that.” 

Te Kākahu Kahukura began 

in earnest in April last year, 

with organisations signing a 

memorandum of understanding, 

although conservation work was 

already under way. More organisations, 

such as the Lyttelton 

Port Company, have signed up 

since then. 

The initiative is part of the 

BPCT’s overall ecological vision. 

One of its goals is to plant four 

1000-hectare native forests 

across Banks Peninsula by 2050.

Akaroa skipper

NEWS 5 

ON BOARD: 

Kaiapoi 

Girl Guides ready 

to set sail on the 

101-year-old 

Fox II. 

about teaching 

kids how to sail 


AN AKAROA skipper has 

turned his passion for sailing 

into a commitment to educating 

children. 

Roy Borrelli 

has provided 

sailing lessons 

for children 

for 18 years 

through the 

Cansail Charitable 

Trust. 

Roy Borrelli 

“It gives me a 

higher purpose 

in life,” he said. 

Borrelli’s involvement with 

Cansail began when he met 

Grant Robinson, the previous 

owner of the Fox II – a 101-yearold 

sailboat – forging an instant 

connection that led him to 

volunteer. 

Reflecting on his early years 

with the charity, Borrelli said: “I 

enjoyed it so much I ended up 

buying the boat from him and 

continuing working for the charitable 

trust to keep it going.” 

Originally from New York, 

Borrelli moved to Akaroa 

22 years ago with his wife Sarah 

and twin children. 

The 57-year-old first volunteered 

for the Akaroa fire brigade 

and St John. 

He now plays a pivotal role in 

Cansail by providing the Fox II 

for teaching purposes. 

The ketch was crafted from 

Kauri timber in 1922. It is a 

maritime treasure Borrelli and 

his team of 15 volunteers work 

tirelessly to maintain. 

However, he said the effort 

of maintaining the boat is outweighed 

by the satisfaction of 

contributing to the community. 

Borrelli said he often sees the 

children’s confidence improve on 

a trip. 

“We had one girl who was 

terrified of water. By the end of 

the trip, she gained confidence, 

overcoming post-traumatic 

stress from a previous sailing 

incident.” 

Borrelli and his volunteers 

focus on imparting essential 

sailing skills to children during 

their programme, which runs 

seven days a week from October 

to May. 

“Teaching children is reward 

enough for the volunteers,” he 

said. 

During a typical day trip, the 

crew will teach the basics of 

navigation, nautical terms, boat 

safety, steering and how to operate 

the sails as a team. 

“They have fun in a new, 

initially scary environment, 

overcoming anxiety to become 

confident sailors by the trip’s 

end,” he said. 

The programme, which teaches 

up to 1500 students annually, 

prioritises low decile schools and 

special needs children. 

School groups – usually 20-25 

people – are asked to contribute 

$200 for a class trip, a discounted 

price due to donations the charity 

receives. 

Borrelli said no group is prevented 

from sailing due to economic 

hardship, and all funds go 

back into maintaining the aging 

Fox II. 

His commitment to creating 

memories for children goes beyond 

technical instruction. 

“It feels positive and rewarding 

helping teach children,” Borelli 

said. 

“I am sure that every teacher 

and child can see how passionate 

and excited I am about sailing.” 

smoke 'n' barrel - woolston 

A business that started out as a food 

truck with a successful catering arm, 

has grown into amuch bigger 

hospitality enterprise – a restaurant 

and bar named Smoke ‘n’ Barrel, 

located in the heart of Woolston 

Village. 

Owned and operated by experienced 

chefs, Indiana-born Cory Blackburn 

(the Hoosier) and Kiwi Chris Geary, 

and Cory’s wife Renee, it opened in 

March this year in the premises previously 

occupied by The Twisted Hop 

at 616 Ferry Road. 

“The building had been empty for 

about three years, so it was great to 

bring some life back into the space,” 

says Renee. 

For the restaurant, the focus is on 

Texas BBQ food incorporating Kiwi 

and Mexican influences, with dishes 

designed for sharing. Renee and 

American-born Cory had catered 

their own wedding, so were confident

their unique style of BBQ would

“The beef brisket Reuben burger is

says Cory, “and I invite customers to

– I reckon they’re the best in New

specialises in New Zealand craft

with a continually changing 

selection of styles and flavours. 

In addition to the restaurant and 

bar on the ground floor, Smoke ‘n’ 

Barrel has an upstairs function 

space, which can accommodate up 

to 50 guests. 

“There is no hire charge for the 

venue,” Renee says, “and guests have

As well as providing a new restaurant

Smoke ‘n’ Barrel partners wanted to 

add value to the experience, Renee 

says. 

“The idea was to provide a place for 

people to hang out with family and 

friends, so we have introduced quiz 

nights, and also free throwback

nostalgic movies from the ’80s and

Living Between Land & Sea 

The bays of Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour by Jane Robertson 

This superbly illustrated history of the people who settled in the many bays of 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour is full of finely observed insights into the challenges 

of living in small, remote communities. Acknowledging the rich history of Te Hapū 

o Ngāti Wheke and their guardianship of this place, the book describes the early 

history of Māori in the region, as it takes a geographical sweep around the harbour 

from the signal station at Te Piaka Adderley Head to the lighthouse at Awaroa 

Godley Head. In between, the stories of the bays and islands of this picturesque and 

historic harbour are described with fascinating details of early and contemporary 

life including maritime history and dramatic rescues, farming and trade, wartime 

experiences and quarantine stations, tourism and recreation.

Once a King 

The Lost Memoir of Edward VIII by Jane Marguerite Tippett 

The real story of Edward VIII - the King who abdicated the throne in 1936 - told in his 

own words, using an unpublished memoir and other never seen sources. Fifteen years 

after having abdicated the throne to marry the woman he loved - Wallis Simpson 

- King Edward VIII, now the Duke of Windsor, published his memoirs. But whilst 

preparing the manuscript for his published and mostly ghostwritten book - which, 

unlike Prince Harry’s autobiography Spare, largely avoided controversy - the Duke 

also produced a private manuscript for posterity. This was written in his own words 

and with an uninhibited frankness. Once a King: The Lost Memoir of Edward VIII 

reproduces this uncrowned King’s previously unseen writing...it’s an extraordinary 

new portrait of one of the most famous characters in modern royal history and his 

recollections and innermost feelings, particularly around the abdication of 1936.

Fifty years on, the unsolved mystery of who killed Jeanette and Harvey Crewe in 

their farmhouse in 1970 continues to fascinate New Zealand. The subsequent trial 

of Arthur Allan Thomas was, for many New Zealanders, the first time they had had 

reason to question the fairness of our justice system. The unsolved mystery of who 

killed Jeanette and Harvey Crewe in their Pukekawa farmhouse in 1970 continues 

to fascinate. It remains one of the most controversial cases in New Zealand legal 

history. After two trials, two appeals, findings of police corruption it resulted in a 

free pardon. Combining gripping narrative, detailed research and new insights from 

key players, this book tells the complete story of the case for the first time.

Young creatives exhibit art 


YOUNG creatives showed off 

their art to family and friends at 

a Lyttelton exhibition on Friday. 

Pupils from Redcliffs School, 

Mount Pleasant School and Lyttelton 

Primary School worked 

with the kaupapa (a set of principles) 

of Whakaraupo Carving 

Centre Trust, highlighting the 

importance of birds and their 

protection. 

Gallery director Damian 

Mackie said the Rei Gallery 

Kā Kura Kā Manu exhibition 

gives young artists experience 

presenting their work. 

“It allows the young artists to 

express themselves in ways that 

they can through visual arts, 

but you have got to be brave to 

exhibit as well,” he said. 

Eve Rees, 13, from Lyttelton 

Primary digitally designed a tui, 

complimenting the overall bird 

theme. 

“It’s one of my favourite birds 

and I find it quite inspiring,” she 

said. 

Eve appreciates the bird for its 

colours and its song she hears on 

the way to school. 

She said the flax and green 

colouring in the image represents 

Māori culture and nature. 

Eve is proud of her efforts 

working hard for three days 

ARTISTIC: Eve Rees, 13, with her digital art of the Tui bird, and Max Finnelly, 13, and Nikau 

Mackie, 13, showing off their art piece. 

before the deadline to submit 

her work. 

Two pupils from the carving 

centre showed off a wooden 

hawk’s head with blood splatter 

to represent bird roadkill and 

the harm humans inflict on 

birds. 

Max Finnelly, 13, and Nikau 

Mackie, 13, worked with their 

carving teachers to paint and 

detail the piece with Māori 

symbols. 

“I am pretty proud, it’s like my 

first big piece,” Max said. 

He hopes to continue his 

carving journey when he starts 

at Hagley College next year. 

Mackie hopes the Rei Gallery 

on Norwich Quay will continue 

to serve as a space for young 

artists to present their work. 

• The children’s work 

will be on display at Rei 

Gallery until November 

27. On November 28 the 

exhibition will display 

works from the gallery’s 

artist collective until 

January 5. If you have an

Natural 

disaster 

planning 

GREAT TO see the article about 

the bays’ communities getting 

together for planning to respond 

to potential disasters, and to see 

each area working to develop 

its capability according to local 

needs, threats and priorities. 

The revamped Civil Defence 

and emergency management team 

has been really helpful and instrumental 

in facilitating this. 

In Redcliffs, we set up our 

response and resilience team in 

2017 after the Kaikoura earthquake 

led to a tsunami warning 

here. It was an initiative of the 

Redcliffs Residents Association 

and we modelled it on the Mt 

Pleasant response team. 

We welcome any local residents 

who would like to be involved 

with planning. The team has 

equipped a community emergency 

hub that can be opened as 

a co-ordination centre in case of 

need. 

We would love people to look at 

the emergency planning page on 

our website www.redcliffs.org.nz to 

get the information they need 

to make their own plans.

Redcliffs Residents Association

‘Littely’ steps up to help 

• By Sasha Watson 

VICKI CAREY may call herself 

a little person, but that doesn’t 

stop her from fitting into a 

“normal height” world. 

Standing at 122cm tall, Carey 

is no stranger to accessibility 

difficulties and that is why she 

has joined the city council’s 

accessibility advisory group as 

the first “littley”, in hopes of 

educating others. 

“We are not disabled, we are 

disadvantaged – we are normal, 

we just can’t reach high places,” 

said the 59-year-old. 

After moving to Christchurch 

from Blenheim with her 

husband, Wayne, last year 

Carey said 

she has 

found “more 

opportunities 

and more 

specialists” 

down here 

which has found 

Vicky Carey her confidence 

grow. 

“I am very excited to be in this 

position as I hope something 

will happen. Perhaps it won’t for 

this generation, but definitely 

the next. We need to work on 

making ‘normal’ accessible for 

WITHIN REACH: Vicki Carey spoke to Hornby Rotary Club before joining the city council 

accessibility advisory group, where she can make things better for “little people”. 

little people.” 

Carey will attend her first 

advisory meeting on Tuesday 

and is hoping to talk about 

making changes to doors, 

public toilets, chairs and tables, 

mobility parking, counters, 

shower heights and privacy. 

“These are the things normal 

people take for granted,” she 

said. 

“Most public toilet/shower 

doors are standing at a standard 

height of about 15cm off the floor 

. . . you’ll be able to see me if you 

take one step back.” 

She began working in 

accessibility advisory in 

Blenheim and said she “really 

enjoyed it”, even though there 

is a large stigma which is 

“devastating”. 

“With my life skills and 

how I’ve had to adapt, I hope 

I can help make things easier 

in reviewing the range for 

measurements and standards. 

There are not many “little 

people” in New Zealand, and 

there has been no voice,” said 

Carey. 

Her voice and vision of 

bettered accessibility have 

already been shared with the 

Rotary Club of Hornby team and 

Carey said: “While it was a big 

step to talk in front of a crowd, 

I am more confident now and 

was met with enthusiasm and 

support.” 

“Now, it is just about getting 

familiar with my role and I hope 

to make things more accessible 

for “little people”, but not out of 

reach for others.”

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

The Ōtoromiro Hotel and ocean view 

ŌTŪTOHUKAI IS the Ngāi 

Tahu name for the ridge west 

of Dyers Pass Rd that overlooks 

today’s Governors Bay. It 

means “the place where food 

was pointed out”, and from 

its heights looking toward 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour 

one can view the whole domain 

of what is an important region 

for Māori, providing shelter and 

food over many centuries. 

Today the harbour, its port 

hills and secluded townsites are 

home to tangata tiriti and tangata 

whenua alike. Before colonisation, 

one would have looked out 

over sweeping slopes of native 

pines down to the sandy bay 

below and on to the wide vista of 

the harbour out to the ocean. 

The secluded sandy bay below 

Ōtūtohukai was known to tangata 

whenua as Ōtoromiro, “the 

place of the miro” (Prumnopitys 

ferruginea), the endemic brown 

pine. 

When in season, the miro’s 

red berries attracted the kererū 

(native pigeon), and the pine’s 

fine-leaved branches were used 

for the building of whare. At a 

certain time of year, whenever 

the whakarua or north-easterlies 

were blowing, pioke (sand 

sharks) would move up towards 

Ōtoromiro Bay where the Māori 

of Rāpaki would gather to fish 

them from the shallows. These 

natural resources made Ōtoromiro 

a valuable mahinga kai 

area for Waitaha, Kāti Māmoe 

and Ngāi Tahu. 

In 1849, some 160 years 

after Ngāi Tahu laid claim to 

Whakaraupō, the British Crown 

acquired 65,000 acres (26,000 

hectares) around Lyttelton Harbour 

from the hāpu and iwi. 

The colonisation of Canterbury 

followed in quick succession 

from 1850, with the first Pākehā 

settlers of the land around 

Ōtoromiro, Robert and Mary 

Harris, followed by John Dyer 

and friends in late 1851. 

Dyer was a successful farmer 

and bought land down to the 

water, with a jetty and road built 

around 1858-62. (Thus it was 

Ōtoromiro came to be known 

for a time as Dyer’s Bay.) Access

The steamer Canterbury at the wharf in Ōtoromiro Governors Bay, 1890s. Te Ūaka The 

Lyttelton Museum ref 14985.84 https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1136091 

to the bay was either via steam 

or sail boat, the Māori walking 

trail from Ōhinehou Lyttelton 

through Rāpaki, or the old 

Māori track winding up and over 

Pukeatua (later the Dyers Pass 

Rd) to the Waitaha Canterbury 

Plains. 

As more settlers arrived 

to farm the harbour’s fertile 

volcanic soils, Whakaraupō 

became the orchard and 

market garden for the growing 

city of Christchurch. In 1856, 

the Canterbury Provincial 

Council provided funds for 

the construction of a carriageworthy 

bridle track out to Dyer’s 

Bay and beyond. 

William Foster opened the first 

hotel in the area, the Travellers’ 

Rest, around 1859, at the northern 

entry to the village more 

often referred to as Governors 

Bay by that time. 

Foster was granted a general 

licence under the Public House 

Ordinance in 1862, and when 

the nearby Foster’s stone bridge 

(now Radcliffe bridge) was built 

the following year, the Lyttelton 

to Governors Bay bridle path was 

open for heavy wagons. 

At some point early on, a Mr 

FW Beechey purchased the 50 

acre (20 hectare) lot above the 

bridle path overlooking John 

Dyer’s section down to the Governors 

Bay wharf. 

It was on this land, at the 

centre of the growing village, a 

second hotel was established in 

1870 – the Ocean View Hotel, 

with one May Haulk the founding 

proprietor. 

Apparently unlicensed, or 

perhaps just ‘off the records’, 

the hotel featured comfortable 

boarding rooms for travellers 

with that iconic view at the head 

of the harbour. Along with the 

village church, St Cuthbert’s, 

built by Edward Morey in 1860, 

this village tavern would have 

been at the heart of the mid- 

1800s English village life taking 

form around Ōtoromiro’s secluded 

bay. 

By this time, Dyer’s Bay had 

long been known as Governors 

Bay, based on the doubtful 

legend Governor Grey anchored 

Her Majesty’s sloop of war Fly 

there in 1850, instead of in Lyttelton 

port, when he came down 

to greet the first Canterbury 

pilgrims. 

Times were obviously tough 

for the hospitality business back 

then and there are a further 15 

proprietors recorded after Ms 

Haulk over the next 30 years, 

through to 1900 when Joseph 

Bowes ran the Ocean View from 

1898-1902. 

Six more managers came and 

went until George Parsons took 

the licence on from 1908-09. 

Despite the high proprietor 

churn, the Ocean View Hotel 

in Governors Bay remained a 

viable business and focal point of 

village life under that very name 

for another 70 years after Mr 

Parsons sold it on. 

The longest serving Ocean 

View publican was Dave Rogers 

from 1940-1965, followed by Pat 

and Judy McCarthy from 1965- 

1975. 

In 1980, the Ocean View 

became the Smugglers Arms for 

20 years before being renamed 

again as Governors Bay Hotel in 

the year 2000. 

The current proprietors Jeremy 

and Clare Dyer have made the 

old place their home since 2003. 

The heritage hotel was one of the 

very few Whakaraupō hotels that 

survived the February 22, 2011 

earthquake. 

In 2020, on the 150th anniversary 

of its founding, the old 

Ocean View Hotel was once 

again renamed, this time as 

Ōtoromiro Hotel, bringing our 

naming story full circle. 

The establishment remains a 

favourite haunt of local harbour 

dwellers and ‘flatlanders’ alike, 

with its beautiful gardens and 

peaceful deck still affording 

a view over the waters of 

Ōtoromiro towards the ocean.

Sportier, spacious Honda Civic 

A SMALL hatchback hit here for 

decades, the Honda Civics isn’t 

feeling the same amount love 

from buyers these days, with 

many seduced by the masses of 

trendy SUV offerings on our 

market. 

With sales in excess of 27 

million since its global launch 

50 years ago, the Civic has 

really put on Honda on the 

world automotive map. Simple 

and clean lines distinguish this 

latest version from its intricately 

styled predecessor. There is more 

than just strong visual appeal. 

It is now a sportier drive, offers 

greater space, especially in the 

rear seat area, along with easier 

access to the cargo compartment. 

Upgraded suspension, chassis 

and a high-rigidity body improve 

dynamics and reduce noise and 

vibration NVH. Safety is further 

enhanced with an updated 

version of Hondas Sensing and 

TrafficJam Assist. Powertrain 

improvements provide additional 

performance and refinement. 

With a coupe-like profile 

inspired by European sport 

backs, this latest Civic sports 

a new exterior design in a 

distinctive and sporty way. 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

A low bonnet, front fenders 

and horizontal beltline add an 

expansive, airy greenhouse look 

and feel to the cabin. Compared 

to the out going model this one is 

bigger in almost every direction. 

By how much you rightly say? A 

fair bit really with a 35mm longer 

wheelbase. 

Both ends of the car look 

sharp. A unique tail light design, 

and high-mounted stop light 

spans nearly the entire width of 

the vehicles hatch, accentuating 

its wider rear track. LED lighting 

is used extensively for the 

exterior, including the wide-set 

headlights, daytime running 

lights, parking lights and fog 

lamps. 

Two Civic models are offered 

on our market starting with 

the price leading $47,000 Sport 

being reviewed here, or a $52,000 

special edition MUGEN. This 

makes clever use of a variety of 

high quality MUGEN body kit 

components to create a striking 

looking vehicle. 

A revamped version of the 

zippy 1.5 turbo engine is ready 

to rumble with more power and 

torque. It now produces 131kW, 

5kw more than its predecessor 

and 240Nm of torque a 20nm 

gain. In isolation, not massive 

bumps in power and torque. 

However, collectively they take 

performance up a good notch 

or two, with the torque getting 

to work from just 1700rpm. In 

real world driving the motor is 

all smoothness and tractability. 

Acceleration is brisk and 

satisfying and gone is the coarse 

edge the previous engine had 

when working in the higher rev 

range. 

A much-improved take on the 

Civics familiar Constant Variable 

Transmission (CVT) now 

features Normal and Eco driving 

modes and a user-selectable 

Sport mode. It feels more 

response and in tune with the 

engine, with enough electronic 

smarts on board to get the most 

out of it. 

A generously proportioned 

cabin and cargo space is among 

the best in the small car class, 

with a more accessible luggage 

area that’s 40mm wider. The 

standard 60/40 split rear seat 

back can be quickly folded down 

for more load space, with the 

side-pull cargo cover making 

it super easy to quickly open or 

conceal whatever you have in the 

rear cargo area. 

Impeccable attention to detail 

is evident everywhere in the 

cabin including an instrument 

panel design, with minimal 

cut lines to reduce windshield 

Rating out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; 

Build Quality 7; Comfort 6; Space 7; Styling 6; Test 

consumption 7.4L/100km; Value for money 6; Safety – 

5-star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 7 

reflections. The generous use of 

quality materials throughout, 

especially on touch points is 

a notable feature. Plenty of 

effort has gone into providing 

a premium look and feel to the 

switchgear and controls. 

This is the most technologically 

advanced Civic Hatch yet 

featuring a new 7-inch color LCD 

driver’s display. It shows a variety 

of user-selectable information, 

such as the current music 

selection and a trip computer, 

on the left and right side of the 

screen. 

The status of various Honda 

Sensing safety and driverassistive 

systems, including 

brake lights, headlights and turn 

signals that switch on and off 

with those functions. In addition 

to large, easy-to-recognize icons 

and a simplified navigation 

structure with fewer embedded 

menus, the touchscreen features 

a proper volume knob and hard 

buttons for Home and Back 

functions. A 0.8-inch finger rest 

immediately below the screen 

provides a stable surface to rest 

your hand – a handy idea. 

There’s a new single-camera 

system providing a longer, 

wider field of view than its 

predecessors radar-and-camera 

based system. Combined with 

software advances and a new, 

more powerful processor, the 

system is capable of more quickly 

and accurately spotting hazards, 

along with road lines and 

signs. Honda Sensing also adds 

Traffic Jam Assist, and the new 

camera- based system improves 

on existing functionality, such as 

more natural brake application 

and quicker reactions when using 

Adaptive Cruise Control. It also 

offers a more natural steering 

action when using the Lane 

Keeping Assist System. 

The suspension and steering 

were developed in Europe and 

feel like it from behind the wheel. 

It reaffirms my view, that the 

Civic Sport is the best all round 

riding and handling model in 

the current Honda range. The 

suspension reacts quickly and 

decisively to steady the car, when 

it’s under siege from sudden and 

unsettling changes in the road 

surface. 

With a wide and low-slung 

stance this newest Civic feels 

reassuringly well planted on the 

road. However, this makes it a 

bit of a liability when driving on 

our extensive network of metaled 

rural roads, with large mounds of 

gravel down the middle of them. 

These gave the vehicles under 

belly a good tickle up, and a bit 

of gravel rash for good measure 

on the one’s I sampled albeit 

briefly. Overall, the test car felt 

confident and composed with the 

suspensions nimbleness a real 

stand out.
