Bay of Islands Pohutukawa Honey from Don Buck Honey

I have available a special batch of Pohutukawa honey from some ISLANDS in the Bay of Islands in the Far North of New Zealand. The hives that this honey came from can only be accessed by boat. This honey was harvested between some fishing and diving and then brought back to the mainland on the boat. Produced by an affiliate beekeeper (although I helped harvest and pot it!) and brought to you by Don Buck Honey.

Pohutukawa honey is collected from the flowers of the Pohutukawa tree – fondly known as the ‘New Zealand Christmas tree’, since they decorate themselves with masses of red flowers every summer before Christmas. Pohutukawa honey is a very light colored honey, although this batch is darker as it has a dash of Kanuka honey in it which the bees also foraged while the Pohutukawa trees were flowering. It is one of the sweeter varieties of honey we make in NZ. Some people say they can taste a faint salty hint in Pohutukawa honey from the coastal climate the trees grow in.

I’m selling this in 370g pots for $14 or four for $50. Less again if brought in larger quantities. Also available in a Far North Five pot variety pack ($60).

Pickups are from Massey, or orders can be couriered to you with Post Haste. Go to my website to place an order or get in touch!

A good night's sleep starts with the right environment, and a stylish headboard can transform your bedroom into a cozy retreat.

In New Zealand, the quest for the perfect headboard blends aesthetics with functionality, offering various options to suit any taste.

This blog will assist you in enhancing your sleep space: stylish headboard options for queen beds in NZ.


Headboard Options: A Touch of Personality

Selecting a headboard with personality for your queen bed means considering style, material, and colour to reflect your unique taste.

This choice not only impacts the look of your bedroom but also expresses your style.

Whether you're drawn to the classic elegance of a wooden headboard, the sleek appeal of a metal frame, or the cozy comfort of an upholstered design, the right headboard acts as a bedroom centrepiece.

Style Variety. Choose from traditional, contemporary, or avant-garde designs to match your bedroom’s theme.

Material Matters. Wood, metal, fabric, and leather options offer different textures and vibes.

Colour Choices. Select from a broad palette to complement or contrast with your bedroom decor.

Custom Designs. Tailor-made headboards allow for a personalised touch, fitting your aesthetic and functional requirements.

Functional Features. Consider headboards with built-in shelves or lighting to combine style with practicality.

When selecting a headboard, consider the size of your room, the height of your ceiling, and the colour scheme of your space.

A large, bold headboard can make a statement in a spacious room, while a simpler design might be better for a compact space.

Installing a new headboard can be a straightforward DIY project. Most designs easily attach to the bed frame or wall.

Regular maintenance will keep your headboard looking fresh; fabric options may require occasional cleaning, while wood and metal might need dusting or polishing.

Design Trends in Queen Beds

For those seeking headboard options for queen beds in NZ, current trends lean towards statement pieces that act as the bedroom's focal point.

Bold colours, intricate patterns, or extended heights can create a dramatic effect, while simpler designs in neutral tones complement a minimalist décor.

Don't be afraid to mix and match styles and materials.

A rustic wooden headboard can look surprisingly chic against a modern interior, and a vintage metal design can add character to a contemporary room.

The key is to find a balance that speaks to your aesthetic and complements the overall design of your bedroom.

Function Meets Style

Finding a design that offers both functionality and style is essential when choosing a headboard for your queen bed.

A well-chosen headboard can provide support for reading or watching TV in bed while also enhancing the room's décor.

Look for headboards with features that meet your lifestyle needs without compromising aesthetics.

Supportive Structure. Ideal for comfortable reading and lounging in bed.

Aesthetic Appeal. Complements the bedroom's design and atmosphere.

Storage Solutions. Some headboards include built-in storage for convenience.

Sound Insulation. Upholstered options can help to reduce noise.

Versatility. Choose a headboard that can adapt to changing decor styles and needs.

Where to Find the Best Headboard Options

Exploring local furniture stores and online marketplaces can reveal many headboard options.

Custom furniture makers in New Zealand also offer bespoke designs, providing a unique solution that can perfectly match your space and style.

Transforming Your Sleep Space with the Right Headboard

Upgrading your queen bed with a stylish headboard from Beds4U will enhance the aesthetic of your bedroom and promise a comfort upgrade. This ensures that your bedroom is not just a place to sleep but a stylish retreat tailored to your taste.

Visit Beds4U to discover the perfect headboard that complements your style and meets your needs.

With our diverse headboard options, you can transform your sleep space into a luxurious haven.

Pick up from: Millich Terrace, Te Atatu South, West Auckland
1kg (Around 7-10)Minimum to purchase and I only have 2-3 Kilos every day. Can pre-order if you are interested but no fresh stock. I can also arrange contactless pick-up with payment transfer or send to any address in NZ with paid postage every Monday.


I grow the capsicum myself this year and do not use any chemical spray. Only use the yellow panels to catch flying insects. Better quality and cheaper than those you can find in Countdown. Sweet and crunchy.

Capsicums are also known as peppers or sweet peppers. Green capsicums tend to be sweet with a mild spicy flavour and are a good source in vitamin c.

capsicums can be eaten raw or cooked. Use raw in salads, or cut into strips and eaten with dips. Dice capsicums to add to pizzas; cut into chunks for kebabs; use in pasta sauces or in stir fries; roast capsicums to add to salads or sandwiches; or stuff them with a delicious filling.

Price: $12
