Enjoy a night stroll among the lights in the parklike setting of Meadowcroft Gardens, amidst the lights.
Very popular with daylight tours, the garden is usually only opened at night to friends and family. Discreet lighting brings the garden alive after dark and provides a rare opportunity to see another side of this unique garden.
Proceeds will help to fund the Earthquake Strengthening of Te Horo Hall.
The garden will be open between 7:30 - 10pm. $15pp and $5 for children (Cash only please). Raffle tickets will also be on sale - 1st prize is $1000 of groceries generously donated by NW Otaki.
Due to water features and reduced lighting this garden walk is not suitable for young children. Off road parking will be available.
**an opportunity not to be missed in this special garden **
BIG THANKYOU and CONGRATULATIONS to Neil and Avis for making their garden available to all.
The dismantling of the Three Waters reforms have lumped an extra 5% to the Kāpiti Coast District Council's proposed rates increases, bringing it to 17%.

March in Kāpiti, like most of central New Zealand, was around a degree cooler than normal, and much drier.

Our daily average maximum temperature of 20.3C was 1.4C cooler than the 13-year average, and almost a degree cooler than March 2023. But, despite lower temperatures we still reached 20C on 21 days, so it could qualify as a summer month.
As usual for time of year, east coast Blenheim and Masterton, at 21.6C had the highest average maximums in central New Zealand, with Nelson, Levin and Lower Hutt virtually the same as Kāpiti. However, Kāpiti’s overall mean temperature of 16.0C was the highest in central New Zealand,
We enjoyed the equivalent of 19 sunny days, only one fewer than average.
Total rainfall of only just under 40mm was recorded at the airport making it the driest March in nine years, with most falling in one episode at the beginning of the month. The little rain received in the following three weeks did little to ease the drought-like conditions. March 2023 had almost three times this amount of rain.
In April we can look forward to temperatures averaging around 19.5C, with 17 sunny days.
Time to FALL BACK! Use that extra hour to compare your bills with NZ Compare and you could save hundreds of dollars!
Daylight saving ends Sunday at 0300, don't forget to adjust your clocks!
Happy April Fool's Day, neighbours!
While we were tempted to play a trick on you today, we thought it would be more enjoyable to hear the practical jokes and pranks that you have pulled off (or been victim to) on April 1st throughout the years.
