My 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero nomination

Margaret from Puketapu

Mary Danielson from the Puketapu Hotel in Hawkes Bay. On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Mary’s Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary, her son and loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the year many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
Feb 14, 2024 was the Cyclone anniversary. Again Mary pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the Cyclone cleanup and Mary understood that we still needed her. Thankyou and aroha.

Worst Xmas ever?

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
