One of the super cool things to do over summer is to take your car for a drive along a spectacular west coast beach.
Aucklanders are fortunate to have two stunning beaches – Karioitahi and Muriwai – where you’re allowed to drive, provided you have a permit.

Aucklanders are fortunate to have two stunning beaches – Karioitahi and Muriwai – where you’re allowed to drive, provided you have a permit.
Getting a permit costs nothing and only takes about five minutes. Even better, it can all be done online.
Beaches are legal roads and all road rules – seatbelts, speed limits, driving behaviour and such - apply.

The Kiwi home ownership dream is now a whole lot more achievable, with the help of Capital Homes.
As city prices spiral beyond reach, and inner-city space becomes even more restricted, an exciting and contemporary living option beckons.
Paerata Rise - a new build lifestyle community just south of the metropolis - offers the best of rural and urban living. And it is built on firm local foundations with history at its heart. This is where Capital Homes' strength shines, with long-established suppliers and tradespeople.
The solid and secure new subdivision is being developed between Karaka and Pukekohe, on land once owned by Wesley College. The college is heavily invested in creating a community that will be loved for generations to come.
At Paerata Rise, just 40 minutes from central Auckland, some 4500 stylish homes will be built. Whether you are looking to buy your own home, expand a growing family, downsize for convenience or establish a new business, there's a custom-built option for you.
Everyone from young families to empty-nesters will be able to enjoy the benefits of leaving the city behind and embrace the space offered in this new and purpose-built subdivision. It's a fertile area that allows every community member to breathe in and enjoy the delights of living off a wider stretch of land.
Building a community is at the heart of the project. Capital Homes is Pukekohe-born and bred.
Each house is a bespoke design to suit each section, with each build completed to the highest standard. Quality internal features ensure a long life for your new home. A 10-year master builder guarantee future-proofs each and every one.
Buying into Paerata Rise means farewelling the hassle and bustle and ever-growing cramp of inner-city life and replacing it with the best of rural living, bolstered by the most modern amenities.
But you better be quick. Word is already out about the allure of Paerata. Auckland Council's just-released valuation round reveals that valuations in Paerata have increased by 151 per cent.
Average Auckland home value soars above $1 million for first time
No longer is home ownership out of reach. New beginnings are on offer at Paerata Rise. As a family-run business, with a combined 46-plus years' experience, Capital Homes will never treat you like a number, says director Grant Watson.
