One of the Wairarapa's hidden gems!

Pixie from

Enjoy a beaut day in the our own back yard at Rewanui Forest Park open day this Sunday 10.am -2.30pm. 334 hectare's of the best lowland forests in the Wellington region with areas of bush, open grassland and commercial plantations of both native and exotic species.
Just 15 minutes from Masterton, on your way to Castlepoint & Riversdale beach. Enjoy a fun family day outdoors with lots of activities for everyone. The kids will have a ball with pony rides, a logging truck on display, wood working displays and even a sheepdog demonstration and sausage sizzle.
Guided and self-guided walking tours running too. Take a walk with an experienced guide along some of the Rewanui loop walks and learn a little about exotic and native trees.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
