Hi neighbours - freedom campers visiting Kaikōura this summer will be banned from popular sites and will face fines for poor behaviour under a new bylaw.

850 people signed a petition calling for the removal of council-designated preferred camping sites following a chaotic summer. The bylaw would ban camping at spots like Kiwa Rd in Mangāmāunu, and in the Kaikōura township.

Did you sign the petition? Or do you think we're being too harsh on freedom campers?

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.

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.

At 33 years of age Pat Walsh reckons he's New Zealand's youngest cinema owner.

And it's a labour of love at Geraldine Cinema where he is regularly adding to his collection of film memorabilia, including the recent purchase of a 1929 New Zealand-built sound projector.

The cinema buff said he had had an interest in movies and the pictures since the age of 14.

"I am the youngest cinema owner in New Zealand.

"I bought the Regent Cinema in Rangiora when I was 21."

At Rangiora High School he resurrected the school's projector and charged students .20c to watch movies during lunch breaks.

"It would pay for my lunch," he said.
