A new life for Naenae Hotel

Reporter Community News

The landmark Naenae Hotel is getting a major upgrade featuring long-term accommodation for up to 40 tenants.
Its new owner, Eastbourne-based developer Anthony Walton, has big plans for the building which dates back to the 1950s. He wants to create a community hub to breathe new life into the hotel, that once had five bars and five bookmakers.
The hotel is currently closed for upgrading and earthquake strengthening.
Walton also owns a renovated hotel in Carterton, the Marquis of Normanby.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
