Just Listed! "PINEHAVEN" Lifestyle Block, Whangaroa

Leonie from

Minutes from Whangaroa and Tauranga Bay is this 2.25 hectare (5 1/2 acres) lifestyle block with views to St. Paul's Rock, Taratara and Whangaroa Harbour.

"Pinehaven" is a secluded lifestyle block with its very own shale pit quarry, mature pine forest and bordered by magnificent native bush and wildlife.

The established loop road provides access to and from the elevated house site.

Watch the sun rise and set from your very own piece of native paradise and enjoy what the winterless north has to offer.

Only minutes to Whangaroa's wharf and sports fishing club, and the sandy beaches of Tauranga Bay. It is a 30 minute drive to both Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands and Doubtless Bay

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.

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!
