Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. 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)

I have been looking along our local road, described by the Transport Agency in a letter from them dated 24 June 2019 as the '13.5km section between Poplar Avenue and Peka Peka Link Road' for road signs showing any name for it. I have found none so far.

The letter received from them was to tell us that the Expressway now functions as State Highway 1, which of course means that this is definitely no longer a name we can use for our address. This lettter was sent to us at State Highway 1, as was an earlier letter from them late in 2017. Is it a joke?
So were our Government and Local Body voting papers!
Confused? So is everyone else. Our visitors are directed to the middle of the Expressway (because many nav-guides/maps have not been updated) or they become totally lost. At times they end up in Otaihanga.
Main Road North has been used by some as an unofficial, alternative name, but it contravenes all of the rules for naming roads, and is obviously not accepted by our council. It has duplicate numbers and there have been near misses for people in trouble when emergency services chose the wrong number.
It is so hard to describe where we live without a name or road signs, and I believe that it is not safe to leave 13.5kms of a busy road unnamed, for many reasons.
A letter to the KCDC this week provided a one sentence answer stating that the renaming of our local road is on hold until revocation occurs.
That looks to be a long way off because revocation should not be able to occur until the local road is 'fit for purpose' according to Legislation quoted in Transport Agency communications.
It is my feeling that it can not be fit for purpose until it is renamed and fitted into the usual structures used for locating property and people in need.
So, can revocation occur?
If it should go ahead, will we live nowhere indefinitely?
