The old unit at the hospital had nowhere for parents or caregivers and families to stay overnight – they had to sleep in a family room elsewhere in the hospital or at the marae on campus.
The new unit is part of an ongoing upgrade to the hospital site to help meet growing demands for health services in West Auckland.
Inside the new unit is a lounge for people who have just given birth, a separate parent kitchen and dining area, six cot bays with sleeping areas for parents and three dedicated rooms for overnight stays.

They will still visit your garden on sunny days, but then when it's cold or wet they 'regroup' into colonies in tall trees, sheltering on the sunny side from the cold and the wind. They can be found in parks or on golf courses, anywhere where there's tall trees.
These monarchs will wait out the winter and return to our gardens in the spring to mate and lay eggs on swan plants. They need our help! (Thanks Elizabeth Amber for these gorgeous photos!)
Please help us look after our beautiful butterflies. This website is somewhere you can learn more about them.

So I merged onto NW motorway from Waterview heading east, it was usual observation of nearly every vehicle mobilised that morning up each others business, so i proceeded to hang back to create a sizeable gap which i know can annoy others. But then it seemed everyone else around did same in unison and then suddenly the unthinkable happened, the motorway opened right up and everyone was suddenly moving at 80kms with a good gap had between each vehicle, and the sun rose and I saw that miracle folks. I got to Remuera from Blockhouse in 25 mins?! Kia Ora Westies....
