The new Madison Park Homes show home at 126 Colonial Drive, Millwater stands out from the crowd with its innovative new design, mono pitch styling and contrasting claddings of natural timber and stone.
The home is a showcase of the quality build principles Madison Park is becoming known for. Everywhere you look there are quality fixtures and fittings chosen from carefully selected suppliers. The home gives you a tremendous sense of space and lightness due to the clever use of large windows, high ceilings and oversize doors.
“Our philosophy is based on offering a range of inspiring home designs to encourage clients to think outside the ordinary”, says Ron Saxby, Madison Park New Home Consultant. “We hope our new show home will inspire visitors as they develop ideas, plans and specification for their own new home”.
We love giving advice and guidance. Come and see us at our new show home. Open 12 - 4pm, Tuesday - Sunday or take a virtual tour

Have you always wanted to scooter to work? Now is your chance!
About 600 electric scooters (e-scooters) have been launched in Auckland by California-based company Lime. The scooters can travel at speeds of up to 27kmh and have a maximum range of 48km. But not everyone is impressed, with some calling labeling the scooters as a "menace on footpaths". To read more about them, click here.
What are your thoughts on them? Will you give them a go? Will it be cheaper for you to scooter to work rather than drive and pay for parking? Or do you think they're a hazard for pedestrians? Share you thoughts with us in the replies below!

Crashes in Auckland are causing traffic delays for motorists ahead of Labour Weekend.
Auckland Transport advised motorists to allow extra time for their journeys this morning. A crash at 7.40am along the northwestern motorway was blocking the middle lane eastbound after Newton Rd, the New Zealand Transport Agency said. Footage from traffic cameras showed the speed on the motorway had been reduced to 50kmh.
Tamaki Makaurau Road Policing Manager Inspector Scott Webb says traffic congestion is going to reach peak levels on Friday and Saturday as motorists leave Auckland for the long weekend.
Inspector Webb says three people were killed and eight people were seriously injured on our roads across Tamaki Makaurau during Labour Day Weekend in 2017.
