Burglar caught dealing 

drugs while out on bail 

Sign of the Kiwi break-in 

among man’s convictions 

• By Ric Stevens 

A MAN with a criminal history 

21 pages long made 51 drug deals 

by text message in three months 

while confined at home on a 

monitoring bracelet. 

Tony Dean Adams, 36, was 

wearing the bracelet for other 

offending, including the burglary 

of the 117-year-old Sign of the 

Kiwi café on Summit Rd. 

When police raided his house, 

they found two shotguns, 

ammunition, two homemade 

tasers disguised as water pistols, 

90.64g of methamphetamine, 

18.68g of cannabis, and $6870 in 

cash. 

They also found items associated 

with drug dealing and drug 

use: a quantity of plastic bags, 

three sets of electronic scales, 

cellphones, numerous glass and 

rubber bongs, cannabis grinders, 

glass pipes, and an empty laundry 

detergent container with a false 

bottom used to hide things. 

The house was protected by an 

elaborate camera system, with 

monitor screens in the lounge 

and bedroom, together with an 

audio alert to warn Adams when 

someone came up the drive. 

In June, Adams was sentenced 

in the district court to five years 

in prison for two sets of offending 

during 2023 and early this year. 

He then appealed that sentence 

to the High Court as being 

“manifestly excessive”. 

Justice Jonathan Eaton reduced 

his prison term on appeal to 

four years and two months after 

reviewing the district court’s 

assessments of Adams’ previous 

convictions and prospects for 

rehabilitation. 

Justice Eaton’s High Court 

decision contains some of the 

numbers detailing Adams’ 

criminal history, along with 

the latest offences to which he 

pleaded guilty. 

BREAK-IN: Tony Dean 

Adams and an associate 

were caught on CCTV during 

a burglary at the Sign of the 

Kiwi café in April last year. 

He said that in the early 

morning of April 15 last year, 

Adams was sitting in a car 

outside the Sign of the Kiwi, and 

waited while an associate broke 

down the front door to try to 

gain entry.

title 

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

Te Kura O Paeraki Mt 

Pleasant School’s year 

5/6 hockey team beat 19 

Canterbury primary school 

teams to win the Sports 

Canterbury winter hockey 

tournament last Thursday 

at Nunweek Park. It was 

an outstanding win for the 

team, who qualified for the 

Canterbury tournament 

after being undefeated 

in the south-east zones 

tournament three weeks 

ago. Coach Alex Simmonds 

was impressed at how the 

players rose to the challenge 

throughout their six 

tournament games. 

NEWS 5 

“They were persistent in 

tackles and their calling and 

passing was fantastic. Even 

in front of the goal there 

wasn’t any selfish play – if 

another team mate had a 

better shot, they passed it! 

It’s such a well-deserved 

win for the players, who 

have really worked on 

their skills this season with 

Carlton Redcliffs Hockey 

Club.” Simmonds said 

the Mt Pleasant players 

are all so proud to be this 

year’s Canterbury school 

champions. The school 

is already planning its 

tournament team for 2025. 

Phone data reveals extensive drug trade 

• From page 1 

The associate also went into a 

garage at the historic building 

and took various items. 

He got back into the car and 

Adams drove away “at speed”, 

but was stopped by police a short 

time later. 

The car was searched and 

police found a lock-picking set, a 

window punch tool, a small axe 

and a large number of car keys, 

along with 18.3g of cannabis leaf 

and 0.15g of meth. 

In the vehicle’s rear seat, they 

found a paintball gun and an 

imitation pistol. When they took 

Adams into custody, they found 

a glass pipe with meth residue 

hidden in his underwear. 

Adams refused to provide 

police with the pin code to his 

phone. 

He was released on electronically 

monitored bail and later 

pleaded guilty to burglary, possession 

of cannabis, possession of 

meth, possession of meth utensils 

and refusing to comply with his 

obligations for a police search. 

While he was on bail, police 

obtained an order giving them 

access to Adams’ phone data. 

“Data analysed on (Adams’) 

phone for the period August 9 

to November 9, 2023, showed 

he was regularly dealing 

both methamphetamine and 

cannabis,” Justice Eaton said. 

“During this period he made 51 

identified drug deals through text 

message, 26 of which were linked 

to methamphetamine, three to 

the selling of cannabis and 22 of 

which could not be attributed to 

either drug.” 

After his home was raided, 

Adams pleaded guilty to 

supplying methamphetamine, 

selling cannabis, possessing meth 

for supply, possessing cannabis 

for supply and unlawfully 

possessing firearms. 

Justice Eaton said in addition 

This report was produced by 

Open Justice – Te Pātītī, an 

NZME initiative funded by 

NZ on Air 

to being on EM bail when he was 

dealing drugs, Adams was also 

serving a sentence of intensive 

supervision under a probation 

officer for driving while 

disqualified, burglary, receiving 

and theft. 

Before that, he was sentenced 

to a 12-month prison sentence for 

his 34th offence of driving while 

disqualified. 

“In total, Mr Adams has 

accumulated 10 convictions 

for possessing or procuring 

controlled drugs or possessing 

drug utensils over the last 10 

years or so,” Justice Eaton said. 

“Three of these convictions 

relate to cannabis, one to ecstasy 

and six to methamphetamine. 

“His adult criminal history 

is also littered with driving 

offences (approximately 35), 

dishonesty offences including 

burglary (approximately 34) and 

breaches of sentence and release 

conditions (approximately 15).” 

Justice Eaton said he had no 

doubt the latest offending was 

driven by drug addiction. 

Adams had acknowledged 

his offending escalated from 

committing burglary and car 

thefts and other dishonesty 

offending to feed his drug habit, 

to drug dealing from home to 

serve the same purpose. 

He had no convictions for 

firearms or ammunition until 

this year.

Ship’s trainees, veteran on a visit 

The HMNZS Canterbury 

was recently back 

in its home port of 

Lyttelton for a five-day 

visit. Delphine Herbert 

had the chance to go 

onboard 

THE ROYAL New Zealand 

Navy vessel, the HMNZS 

Canterbury, has spent the 

past month gearing up for an 

international deployment. That’s 

included visits to Lyttelton, 

Napier and Wellington, while 

training junior officers for future 

operations. 

The vessel’s primary mission is 

to deploy personnel, vehicles and 

cargo, either at ports or using 

landing craft, helicopter airlifts 

or boats. It has its own mini hospital, 

with two ward-like rooms 

and the equipment to perform 

surgery, if necessary. 

Onboard were 154 sailors, as 

well as 13 current trainees. 

Also onboard for a fleeting 

visit was 104-year-old WW2 

Naval Officer, Lieutenant 

(retired) Keith Williamson. 

Ship commander Bronwyn 

Heslop gave the Canterburybased 

veteran and his family a 

tour of the ship, showing him 

the updates in technology since 

he finished his service almost 80 

years ago. 

Keith enlisted in the Royal 

Navy in 1941 and completed 

basic training in the UK before 

being deployed on the HMS 

Stork, escorting merchant ships 

between Liverpool and Gibraltar. 

Once commissioned, he joined 

Combined Operations, working 

on Landing Craft Infantry – 

Large (LCI-L) ships with the 

army to deliver troops to theatre. 

“What amuses me is I didn’t

‘The ship is the coolest in the world because it is Army, Air Force and Navy together. 

And so our motto is called kotahitanga, unity, so it’s the Defence Force united.’ 

– Ship commander Bronwyn Heslop 

do anything exceptional in my 

navy career. I was very ordinary 

but, because I’m 104, that seems 

to make me a bit different,” Keith 

told Seven Sharp. 

The HMNZS Canterbury is 

regularly deployed to the Pacific, 

and Heslop said the training 

carried out during Canterbury’s 

stint in New Zealand was 

important. 

“Just to train people to give 

them experience of how to 

conduct themselves both at sea 

and ashore. 

“Just trying to bring back some 

of the training that we’ve missed 

with attrition and with Covid-19 

and an absence of ships readily 

available at sea.” 

Cantabrian Ordinary Hydrographic 

Systems operator Cameron 

Norton said it had been 

exciting to sail into an area with 

which he was familiar. 

‘’It was amazing, like being 

able to be on the foc’s’le (forward 

deck) as we’re driving into 

Lyttelton and get to see this place 

again, like on a navy ship. It was 

pretty cool.” 

Ordinary Hydrographic 

Systems operator James Marsh 

agreed. 

“Yeah, it was quite exciting 

just coming down the coast and 

seeing places that you recognise 

and stuff like that.” 

Ensign Bravo Watchkeeper 

under training Renèe Woodward 

said trainees gained valuable 

first-hand experience. 

While the days could be busy, 

the crew were well looked after 

and their tummies were kept 

full. 

“We always get Duff, so Duff is 

dessert, so it will be like biscuits 

or slice or anything. It’s really 

good. It’s 10 out 10 . . . food’s a 

pretty big morale-booster for the 

ship’s company, so food is a very 

integral part of keeping the ship 

moving and going forward.” 

Heslop said the Canterbury 

was a unique vessel. 

“The ship is the coolest in the 

world because it is Army, Air 

Force and Navy together. 

“And so our motto is called

kotahitanga, unity, so it’s the 

Defence Force united.” 

While in port Heslop and 12 

of her crew attended a concert 

at Rapaki Marae, to help raise 

money for the restoration of the 

old Rapaki schoolhouse. 

The Canterbury was last 

in Lyttelton to help with the 

response to Cyclone Gabrielle in 

February 2023. It was stationed 

at Campbell and Auckland 

Islands when the storm hit but 

headed back to the mainland. 

Commander Heslop said the 

co-ordination was incredible. 

“A huge response, Ngāi Tahu 

were amazing and brought 

generators, the army brought 

bridges over from Burnham, and 

lots and lots of stores. 

“We did lots and lots of 

shopping for feminine products 

and nappies and things to 

take up, and then we sailed for 

Napier.” 

HMNZS Canterbury’s next 

destination is Samoa for the 

Commonwealth Heads of 

Government meeting with King 

Charles in October. 

The vessel will be back in 

Lyttelton next year for the 15th 

anniversary of the Christchurch 

earthquakes.

High schools excel at big tourneys 

Christchurch schools 

have seen success at 

national and regional 

level during last week’s 

New Zealand and 

South Island secondary 

school tournaments. 

Sports reporter Sam 

Coughlan wraps up the 

best from the premier 

competitions 

Netball 

St Margaret’s took out the South 

Island netball competition at Ngā 

Puna Wai, beating Dunedin’s 

Columba College 39-28 in the 

final. 

The win was the school’s third 

South Island title this year, following 

the year 9 and 10 teams’ 

victories in their respective 

competitions. 

St Margaret’s beat Christchurch 

Girls’ High School 40-27 in the 

semi-final before their win over 

Columba in the final. 

Girls’ High played St Andrew’s 

College – who lost 37-36 to 

Columba in their semi-final – in 

the third-place playoff, which was 

won 37-28 by Girls’ High. 

The top four teams all advance 

to the national competition next 

month.

Basketball 

St Andrew’s College’s girls basketball 

team (top right) won the 

South Island competition, adding 

to the Whelan Trophy they won 

the week before. 

The final was a rematch with 

Kaiapoi High School, who they 

beat in the Whelan final, and the 

result was no different this time/ 

St Andrew’s came away with a 

tense 67-65 win. 

St Andrew’s had previously 

swept aside Columba in their 

semi-final before playing Kaiapoi 

– who beat Christchurch Girls’ 

High in the other semi-final. 

Girls’ High went down to 

Columba, 80-50, in the playoff 

for third. 

Christ’s College fell just short 

of taking out the boys’ competition, 

losing 94-84 to Waimea 

College in the final. St Andrew’s 

boys’ team finished fourth, losing 

83-60 to Rangiora High School in 

the third-place playoff. 

Football 

St Thomas’ boys’ and St Andrew’s 

girls’ teams recorded their 

best-ever placings at a national 

premier tournament. 

St Andrew’s finished third in 

the girls’ competition, beating 

Epsom Grammar 4-3 in a penalty 

shoot-out to claim bronze after a 

0-0 draw. 

Their 1-0 loss to Auckland’s 

Baradene College in the semi-final 

the previous day saw them 

narrowly miss out on making 

their first-ever final. 

In the boys’ competition, St 

Thomas’ run to the semi-finals 

was ended by Tauranga Boys’ 

High School in a shoot-out, with 

Tauranga winning 5-3 on penalties 

after a 2-2 draw. 

St Thomas then fell 3-0 to last 

year’s champions Westlake Boys 

High School (Auckland) in their 

third-place playoff. 

Rugby League 

St Thomas of Canterbury College 

took out their second consecutive 

national rugby league title with 

a 24-18 victory over Auckland’s 

De La Salle College in the final 

of the NZRL national secondary 

schools premiership. 

They blitzed out to an early 

18-0 lead inside 10 minutes, and 

were able to hold on despite a

Yarns on a life lived at a million miles, from beloved broadcaster, podcaster and

First up: this is absolutely not a guide to life. I’ve done some impressive stuff, but 

I’ve also slept on the floor of an old Greek man’s house and lost my dignity in the 

Brunei jungle. I say yes to everything this life has to offer - I’m from the ‘women 

can have it all’ club - and, boy, have I got the stories to show for it. 

From surf-lifesaving to a hungover Army deployment, being broke with a gum 

infection in Europe, spooning Richie McCaw on a mountain, 

improvising make-up for Paul Holmes, running my first 

ultra-marathon and reinventing myself after redundancy: 

every wild, brilliant and hilarious experience has taught me 

something new. Whether it’s how not to care about being 

judged, how to fake it till you make it, how to throw yourself 

into the unknown or how to push through the pit of despair, 

I’ve come to love that we are all works in progress. If I fail 

from time to time, that’s okay too. 

Open the book of this open book (me). I want to show you the raw, 

the real and the vulnerable of a full-volume life and how the greatest moments - 

or at the very least the greatest yarns - come about by just giving it a crack.

spirited fight from De La Salle, 

with the final score 24-18. 

Head coach Andrew Auimatagi 

praised his young charges and 

said they had gained a lot of confidence 

from last year’s title. 

“We had the belief that we 

could give it another shake up. 

They’re a really talented group 

with quite a few boys returning, 

so we went in with a little bit 

of confidence that we could get 

there.” 

Forward Bishop Neal was

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has 

23 beds for tamariki to stay during 

times of whānau stress or crisis. On

The Masterpiece 

by Belinda Alexandra 

The moving and gripping new historical novel from the much-loved bestselling 

author of THE MYSTERY WOMAN, for readers of Fiona McIntosh, Natasha Lester 

and Madeline Martin 

A wartime betrayal, a race against time ... and a secret hidden in a painting.The 

must-read new novel from the author of The French Agent and White Gardenia. 

Paris 1946: A young woman, Eve Archer, has come to Paris to find Serge Lavertu, 

the father she never knew. But before Eve can find the courage to tell him who 

she is, Serge is arrested, accused of selling a French national treasure to Hitler 

during the war and murdering the original owner. Could Serge truly be guilty of 

treason or has he been set up? 

Only one person knows the truth that might save Serge from execution: Kristina 

Belova, a beautiful Russian artist recently returned from a concentration camp 

and suffering amnesia. As Eve desperately prompts Kristina to recall what 

happened during the war, she uncovers a passionate love triangle and a secret 

about her own heritage that will change Eve’s view of life forever.

53 VERNON TERRACE HILLSBOROUGH 

This lovely home was only on the market for 13 days before 

we received a pre-auction offer and the new family can’t 

wait to move in. My owners did an amazing job readying the 

home for sale and presenting it perfectly to visitors. 

I had over 30 buyer groups through the door at only 5 open 

homes! A number of the visitors were wanting to move 

into the Cashmere High zone, upsizing and wanting an 

investment property. 

High demand for quality properties in Hillsborough 

continues and I have disappointed purchasers that are keen 

to buy.

How mentorship helped 

propel a drone startup 

GEORGE KHELLA is on a mission to 

tackle wildfires using drone technology. 

His company, Narix FSD, is developing a 

system of autonomous drones to detect and 

suppress fires before they can spread. 

However, the project didn’t just spring 

from technical know-how; it was shaped 

by the guidance of a dedicated mentor 

through Business Mentors New Zealand. 

In mid-2022, George recognised the 

need for expert advice to overcome the 

hurdles of turning his concept into a viable 

product. 

Despite his engineering background and 

deep interest in drones, he faced challenges. 

“I needed business advice on commercialisation 

and production, especially in 

a complex field like unmanned aviation,” 

George recalls. 

This is where mentorship played a crucial 

role. George approached Business Mentors 

New Zealand and was paired with Michael 

Durie, whose expertise proved invaluable. 

“Michael helped me understand the 

business process, marketing needs, and the 

importance of networking and pitching,” 

George explains. 

One of the most significant impacts of 

the mentorship was on George’s approach 

to marketing and networking. Michael 

guided him through developing comprehensive 

marketing plans. 

The mentorship also opened doors. 

Michael facilitated introductions to 

technical experts and industry players, 

expanding George’s network and providing 

access to resources that were crucial for 

advancing the project. 

Michael’s support also helped George

George Khella, right, with mentor 

Michael Durie. 

navigate the complexities of running a 

startup and avoid common pitfalls. 

“One of the most impactful pieces of 

advice, was not to try to do everything 

alone,” George says. 

“Because I’m the sole founder and 

owner, I’ve been doing everything myself. 

So, it’s about looking at how we can get 

other people involved to help with the 

load.” 

The mentorship experience also included 

participation in programmes such as the 

UC Food, Fibre, and Agritech Challenge 

and the Ministry of Awesome Founder 

Catalyst programme. 

Narix FSD’s drone system for wildfire 

management is progressing towards its 

prototype stage, with plans for broader 

deployment in the near future. 

George says the impact of mentorship 

through Business Mentors New Zealand 

has been an invaluable part of his 

entrepreneurial journey so far.

Two arrested after 

sting on wreckers 

TWO MEN have been arrested over the 

processing of stolen cars by wreckers in 

Christchurch and Upper Hutt. 

The men, aged 21 and 39, were arrested 

as police conducted simultaneous warrants 

on Thursday last week. 

Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Sarah 

Graham said they were charged with 

receiving stolen vehicles and breaching the 

Secondhand Dealers and Pawnbrokers Act 

2004. 

Police were also taking restraint action 

under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) 

Act 2009. They would not disclose what 

the assets were, nor their value. 

Police believed the two auto-dismantlers 

were fuelling vehicle thefts in their areas. 

“In Canterbury, an investigation into 

a rise in car crime began in March and 

came to centre on two auto-dismantlers 

yards, one in Christchurch and the other 

in Upper Hutt.” 

A six-month police operation found 

they were buying multiple stolen cars for 

much less than the cars were worth. 

“After half a year of work by police tactical 

crime units, asset recovery units, and 

Customs New Zealand, we had sufficient 

evidence to execute (Thursday’s) simultaneous 

warrants. 

“The investigations into this activity are 

very much ongoing and are the reason 

why police have restrained assets,” Graham 

said. 

Detective Inspector Haley Ryan said 

Wellington police had been running 

Operate Drake for more than a year, to 

combat rising vehicle thefts in the region. 

She said they believed most of the vehicles 

not recovered were being dismantled 

and exported overseas. 

“Stolen commercial vehicles have much 

more value to the receiver being dismantled 

and sold for parts versus them being 

rebirthed and sold.” 

It would be naive to think other wrecking 

businesses weren’t involved in similar 

activities, Ryan said. 

Graham said police wouldn’t rule out 

further arrests. 

“This is the second auto-dismantler to 

be prosecuted in Christchurch in the last 

year in relation to similar offending.”

Thursday September 12 2024 Bay Harbour News 15


Tiny SUV packed with pep and personality 

THE IGNIS, along with the new 

generation Jimny are the funky, 

fun and affordable members of the 

otherwise staid Suzuki NZ model 

line-up. 

They are smallest new SUVs 

sold but have giant-sized personalities. 

Along with the popular 

Swift hatch they are driving the 

brand’s continuing strong sales 

growth here. It seems us Kiwis 

love Suzukis and our loyalty to the 

brand is rock solid. 

One of the main reasons they 

are in this enviable position is 

down to an appealing mini and 

compact urban SUV range. In 

today’s world of rising prices they 

are affordable new vehicles people 

want and are reliable and cheap 

to run. This takes on even greater 

importance with tougher economic 

times ahead. 

With a unique design and 

trendy, yet slightly retro, appearance, 

the Ignis made a triumphant 

return in 2016 after a long absence, 

having an almost immediate 

and positive impact. 

With its distinctive SUV looks 

and roomy passenger cabin, as 

well as sharp pricing, the Ignis 

ticks a lot of boxes for those on a 

limited new car budget. 

It instantly gets runs on the 

board with its cute front end, 

chunky wheel arches and eyecatching 

angled roofline. 

I like how the styling touches 

pay homage to previous Suzuki 

models from the mists of time. 

These include the “C” pillar slits 

from the 1970s Giugiaro-designed 

Fronte coupe, while the clamshellshaped 

bonnet and guard garnish 

are a nod to the original 1988 

Vitara SUV. 

Plenty of smart thinking has 

gone into the Ignis. A lot has been 

applied to what has been a fairly 

dramatic weight loss programme 

for this model, lessening the load 

on the engine and chassis, laying 

the foundations for more assured 

handling. Every 100kg shed, 

equates to a 5-6 per cent improvement 

in fuel efficiency. 

Advances in high-tensile steel 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

manufacturing with fewer welds 

and joins, all help the Ignis tip the 

scales at a lean 820kg in manual 

transmission form and 865kg in 

the automatic. 

The three-strong model line-up 

leads off with the $22,990 GLX 

manual, with a $1500 premium 

for the automatic. The higher spec 

LTD being reviewed here is only 

available as an automatic and sells 

for $26,500. 

A 1.2-litre 4-cylinder, 16-valve 

double overhead camshaft engine 

is common across all three models. 

This multi-point fuel injected 

powerplant has variable valve 

timing technology and produces 

66kW and 12Nm of torque at 4400 

rpm. 

Dualjet engine technology features 

twin fuel injectors for greater 

fuel economy. Improved thermal 

efficiency and low-friction technology 

reduce engine emissions. 

It does this brilliantly, with the 

manual producing just 107 grams 

per litre of CO2, and the automatic 

slightly more at 114 grams 

per litre. These figures are better 

than several hybrid models, which 

cost considerably more than the 

humble Ignis. 

While these aren’t the ingredients 

for fire-breathing performance, 

the engine has sufficient 

flexibility and responsiveness to 

satisfy most owners without sending 

their pulses racing. 

Acceleration is lively and the 

motor shows far more tenacity 

than its modest capacity would 

suggest but at higher revs it does 

become coarse and lumpy. In 

terms of power and torque, the 

motor has changed little from 

its days in the mini sized 2008 

Suzuki Splash. This was good for 

69kW of maximum power. 

The automatic in the test car 

proved smooth and efficient in 

lower speed urban driving. At 

open road pace it’s less agreeable, 

proving slow to kick down under 

hard acceleration when you need 

that extra burst of power. While 

the revs rise appreciably, along 

with your hopes for more oomph, 

these never materialise. 

The 1.0-litre turbo in the Suzuki 

Swift hatch would transform 

the Ignis, and most likely the 

price upwards, and this would 

be detrimental to what is after a 

vehicle for the cost-conscious new 

vehicle buyer. 

The cabin is modern, inviting 

and offers a decent amount 

of space for a diminutive hatch. 

There is plenty of head and 

legroom for front and rear occupants, 

while good ground 

clearance makes it easy to enter 

and leave. 

An elevated seating position 

ensures great all-round visibility. 

The LTD includes two individual 

sliding and reclining rear seats. 

The load area with the rear seats 

in use is a handy 271-litres, extending 

to 1104-litres with both 

folded down. 

For such a small car, this one 

is big on safety equipment with 

electronic stability programme 

(ESP), brake assist, six airbags 

and side impact beams. CVT 

models have hill holding control 

and shift lock. Pedestrian protection 

is to the fore with extra shock 

absorption built into the bonnet, 

front wiper area, front bumper 

and bonnet lip to reduce collision 

impact. A decoupling mechanism 

for brake and clutch pedals, an 

ISOFIX child seat restraint system 

and child seat tether anchorages 

are standard. 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 6; Handling 6; Build Quality 

6; Comfort 5; Passenger and Load Space 7; Value for 

money: 7; Safety – Not rated. 

Overall points out of 10: 6.5 

The LTD is well appointed with 

cruise control with speed limiter, 

power steering, electric windows 

and electrically adjustable door 

mirrors. A computer displays 

fuel consumption (instantaneous 

and average), six-speaker audio 

system, Bluetooth audiostreaming 

and hands-free calling, 

and 60:40 folding rear seats. 

Other standard features worth 

a mention include keyless entry 

with push button start, Apple 

CarPlay, Android Auto and a 

reversing camera. 

Playful and surprisingly composed 

road holding are a good 

fit with the vehicle’s effervescent 

personality. However, being taller 

and narrower than other cars in 

this class, body lean enters the 

handling frame sooner when 

nudging things along through 

tight corners or over undulating 

terrain. This only becomes if you 

continue to unreasonably push 

the vehicles handling limits. 

The steering is light and not 

as direct as I prefer, but fine for 

the around-town driving life 

this car is designed for. Another 

plus for urbanites is the vehicle’s 

excellent turn-on-a-dime 4.7 

metre turning circle, that makes 

light work of U-turns in narrow 

streets.

Mid-Century Maximised 

318 Cannon Hill Crescent, Mount Pleasant 

3 bedrooms, 1 living, 2 bathrooms, 1 carport 

Situated on the coveted lower slopes, this time-honoured residence reflects an 

exceptional architectural pedigree shaped by masterful minds across the ages. 

John Trengrove’s original 1960s vision that harnessed intimate lower slopes 

views and immense sunlight has been elevated through Sheppard and Rout’s 

extensions and recent enhancements by Stephen Fitzgerald, maintaining the 

mid-century integrity while introducing a modern aesthetic. 

The freshly repainted interiors showcase an interplay of eras, where 

quintessential mid-century elements like cork floors, sloped ceilings, and a splitlevel 

layout are enriched by quality fixtures, feature wallpaper, contemporary 

light fittings, new carpet, a brand-new kitchen and bespoke tiled bathrooms, 

thoughtfully curated alongside an interior that honours the home’s enduring 

character. 

The home offers panoramic views of the estuary, city, ocean, and Alps, with 

large windows and thoughtfully placed decks blurring the lines between interior 

comfort and outdoor splendour. 

Reflecting this design ethos, the kitchen features high-end appliances and doors 

to the rear deck, perfectly aligned for a picturesque outlook. Connecting to 

the lounge, the sun-drenched deck invites late afternoon relaxation, while the 

landscaped garden and flat lawn offer a peaceful escape.

1 Ridgeway Place, Sumner 

4 bedrooms, 2 living, 2 bathrooms, 1 car garaging 

Magnificently immersed in the landscape, this contemporary residence fosters 

an intimate connection with nature, overlooking rural hillsides and the ocean 

from its privileged position on the upper slopes of Richmond Hill. 

Demonstrating the finesse of its 2020 completion, the home flawlessly 

complements the surroundings, presenting a living experience that is as refined 

as it is awe-inspiring. 

Encased in matte black aluminium and distinguished by schist stone accents, 

this 222sqm layout unveils expansive glazing and overheight ceilings that 

masterfully frame sweeping vistas across Sumner, the hills, valley, and endless 

ocean horizon beyond. 

Defined by a commanding schist wall, the open-plan living, kitchen, and dining 

area reveal a quiet sophistication, where a sleek gas fire and a David Trubridge 

light merge utility with visual allure. 

With a focus on fluidity, this space flows onto the wraparound deck and lawn and 

offers a clear view of the idyllic swim spa and plunge pool, catering to leisure and 

an entertainer’s lifestyle. 

Occupying an approx 1594sqm corner section with a flat aspect, this home 

capitalises on its tranquil setting while remaining closely connected to walking 

trails and Sumner’s vibrant amenities, where the beach, popular cafes, and a 

wealth of conveniences are just moments away, making it a valuable find for 

families and lovers of the outdoors.

We celebrated the achievements of our Ray White New Zealand members 

at our 2024 Annual Awards and what a night it was!! 

More than 1,300 attendees came together for the evening to acknowledge the 

accomplishments of our network members. 

It was great to recognise the exceptional performance and continued business 

growth within the Ray White group here in New Zealand. 

Our very own Craig Prier was recognised for his long-standing contribution to 

real estate as a Ray White Life Member.
