Our complex and ever-changing world can be a difficult thing to explain to tamariki. To help, Stuff has launched KEA Kids News - a twice-weekly video bulletin of news by kids for kids.

Just like the smart and curious kea, our inquisitive kid reporters will peck through local, national and international news to find stories and ask questions that connect with seven to 11-year-olds, to show them that truth is not only stranger than fiction but often a lot more interesting.

This boutique hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to combine a healthy and diverse lifestyle with an interesting and profitable business which naturally scales down during winter, allowing for a holiday.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.

Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.

A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.

This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.

Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

Looking for land to lease for a tiny house on wheels

Sonja from Upper Moutere

Dear neighbours,

My name is Sonja and I am looking for a piece of land to lease for my tiny house on wheels. I will be living in and working from the tiny house - so having good cellphone coverage (i.e. 4G Wireless for Internet access) is essential.

Dear neighbours,

My name is Sonja and I am looking for a piece of land to lease for my tiny house on wheels. I will be living in and working from the tiny house - so having good cellphone coverage (i.e. 4G Wireless for Internet access) is essential.

I need to be able to connect to power and water and I have a composting toilet. I will need an area for recycling compost. I would also love a little garden and/or vege patch.

The tiny house is 2.5m x 7.3m (9m including the drawbar). The piece of land needs to be reasonably flat with access to a vehicle with long trailer.

I am quiet and considerate but also like socialising. In my spare time I play table tennis, do waka ama, boot camp and love the outdoors.

My tiny house will arrive from the North Island (where it is currently being build) on 2nd October so I am looking to move on to the land that day.

Please let me know if you know or hear of a place that would be suitable for my tiny house and myself.

You can contact me on 021 176 3741 or sonja.adamek@yahoo.com.

I have been renting a tiny house on wheels for the last year and am happy to provide references from the land owners.

Cheers,

Sonja

Roses - FREE!

Lori from Richmond

I have a reasonable amount of well established Roses of various types in my garden, and I'm planning to dig them all out (not my type of thing).
It seems a shame to just dump them - so if anyone would like them, feel free to come and dig them out!

I have a reasonable amount of well established Roses of various types in my garden, and I'm planning to dig them all out (not my type of thing).
It seems a shame to just dump them - so if anyone would like them, feel free to come and dig them out!
I will try to take photos, but as they aren't in bloom, not sure what you can tell about them other than they have thorns that hurt :)
Update - seems I have enough takers - I will mark as taken once all are dug up
