Beauty In A New Build

Murray Halberg Retirement Village

At Murray Halberg Village, a quality new retirement living option has emerged, with the Snell apartment block, named for Halberg's fellow Olympian Sir Peter Snell, nearing completion.

The attention to detail in the construction and finishing of these apartments is excellent, say Project Manager Johannes Cronje and Regional Construction Manager Matt Hutchinson.

Everything is high spec, built to last and beautifully finished. This quality extends through to things such as a silent fan system which quietly moves the air 24/7, preventing condensation. It can’t be heard, and it creates a healthier, warmer home for residents.

Natural light filters through full height windows and doors leading to a spacious balcony or patio, some with fabulous views over lush native bush.

“There’s a lot of confidence in the construction team,” adds Johannes.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Product recalls

Christine from Green Bay

I am appalled at the number of product recalls - salmon to snack balls to a huge range of toys. Not good enough manufacturers! Surely products are health and safety checked.
