It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.
May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”
Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.

Variegated apple green and cream leaf with double pink and white flowers which come in succession right through Summer.
The actual plant is 16cms high.
It will flower for you this season.
Does very well in pots and in a sheltered position perhaps under the eaves on a north facing wall as, like all Geraniums, it will be slightly frost tender.
It will acclimatised to Wairarapa conditions. It is not hothouse grown.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Name: Orbea Variegata
Has thick fleshy leaves, with no spines.
Each year it thrusts out dramatic brown speckled flowers which hang down the side of the pot on thin curved stems. A five pointed star within a circle within a large 5 pointed star which is about the golfball size ( but flat not round)
The last pic is of my parent plant.
The first two pics are of the plant that is on sale.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
A happy little rosette succulent in a ceramic dish ( with drainage hole in bottom)
No chips or cracks in the dish.
The price is for the succulent plus the dish which measures 17cms in diameter.
Nice Christmas present maybe.
Thanks for looking.

Access to MacDonald Cres via The Terrace is still available.
As part of our works to repair the wastewater leak, our team came across a collapsed section of pipe which requires urgent repair. This resulted in immediate road closure, meaning we couldn't advise the public earlier.
As a part of this urgent work, a pumping truck will be on site. We will aim to keep noise down, however we expect the truck to run until 7pm.
We are working with affected residents and businesses to keep them updated on any increased noise.
We will provide an update tomorrow on the status of the road closure.
Don't head off on your Christmas road trip without making sure your car is safe with a 20 Point Vehicle Health Check for your just $40 (save $25)*
Hurry, ends on December 15th!
As part of our works to repair the wastewater leak at the intersection of Willis St and Dixon St, we need to close the western side of Dixon St.
We have found an issue that we need to investigate which requires closure of this section of the road.
We will provide an update later this afternoon.
