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.

Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

While other candidates eyeing the mayoral chains – being relinquished by outgoing mayor Dave Cull – supported increased youth involvement in local body politics, current city councillor Vandervis was having none of it.

Young people did not "know enough" about candidates, he said, and he did "not want to see more young voters".

What do you think about his comments? Do you agree? Or do you accept his apology?

Where in the world is Barry Kloogh?

That's the question out-of-pocket investors have been asking since investigators raided the financial adviser's business in May.

They have since discovered that two of his companies – Financial Planning Ltd and Impact Enterprises Ltd – have been liquidated, owing more than $12.5 million.

The investigation – led by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) – has so far raised more questions than answers for anxious investors who fear they have lost everything in an apparent Ponzi scheme.

Stuff went looking for clues with the aim of asking what happened to their money. Stuff found him hiding in plain sight on Tuesday – in a modest rental home in Dunedin, with two luxury cars parked outside.
