New Location
To our valued customers
We apologize if you have been having a problem finding us. Unfortunately, the council failed to advise us of the impact their plans in building the new transport interchange would have on us and the access to our premises.
We were later advised by a council officer that they had forgotten to advise us that we would be impacted, we weren’t advised however that we would be completely cut off, making it almost impossible for you, our valued customers, to come in for all your computer needs.
In the ongoing process they have abused and obstructed our customers, illegally breached our boundary line, and obstructed easy access to our premises. We do apologize for this and assure you that we are working to get this sorted.
We are excited to share that you won’t need to battle to get into our premises anymore as we have relocated to 1/7 Hinemoa Street, Paraparaumu. This is in the ‘Old Mill’ building the first building on the right just over the railway crossing. We are on the corner and entrance with parking (no potholes!) is from Hinemoa St.
You will find us here in our new bright premises serving you our valued customers as we have since 1996 with our holistic approach to computer sales, support and service.
There you will find our huge range of power adapters, laptop adapters, cables including most audio, video, and computer.
Batteries, computer parts and of course a great range of ex lease computers, laptops, tablets etc
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Kapiti Coast Distilled: A Family and Friends' Foraged Gin
In an exciting development for local spirits enthusiasts, Elsewhere Gin has released a limited edition Kapiti expression that truly captures the essence of our coastal region.
This unique gin, priced at $95 per bottle, is the result of a heartwarming collaboration between Elsewhere Gin and Mark Rose's parents and their friends in Kapiti who embarked on a community foraging adventure, handpicking an array of native botanicals including kohekohe, kauri tips, strawberry guava, horopito, and kawakawa. These locally sourced ingredients were combined with classic gin botanicals, lemon, and rosemary to create a spirit that is both familiar and distinctly Kapiti.
The gin offers a sensory journey through our coastal landscape. It opens with subtle vanilla notes from the kohekohe, followed by the sweetness of strawberry guava. The addition of horopito lends a peppery kick, while kawakawa adds a unique herbal complexity. The finish showcases the zesty lemon and aromatic rosemary that grow abundantly in our region.
"This gin is a love letter to Kapiti," says Rose. "It's not just my creation, but a true community effort. Every sip tells a story of our unique ecosystem, our shared knowledge, and the incredible flavors we have right here in our backyard."
With only a small batch produced, this Kapiti gin is expected to sell out quickly. It's more than just a drink; it's a bottled experience of our local terroir and community spirit, perfect for those who appreciate the finer aspects of craft spirits and the beauty of our coastal home.
Available exclusively through Elsewhere Gin, please contact Michael Anderson for this limited edition gin that offers a rare opportunity to taste the Kapiti coast - and its community - in a glass.
