Nominated by Bob Mitchener from Taupo: "Incredible India restaurant, Taupo. Not only do they make the most authentic, delicious Indian food I have ever tasted, but perhaps more importantly they are: Generous: these guys donate all left over food of the day to the homeless or hungry in Taupo. Service: Their service is thoughtful and kind. We always feel appreciated for using their establishment, either by the warm greeting we get, the offer of a drink if we are waiting for take out and their cute hand written messages on the carry bag of dinner. They certainly put the effort into the whole package not just making money."

There’s something for everyone, so get out and support local these holidays.
Easterfest, our annual pop-up style street festival, is on in Taupō from Good Friday to April 5. It’ll feature world-class street performers, an Easter egg hunt, a hot chocolate competition, Easter movies at Starlight Cinema and more.
If you’re in Taupō you can also catch the New Zealand National Finals Rodeo or watch the Lake Taupō Yacht Club Easter Trailer Yacht and Sports Boat Regatta on Saturday and Sunday.
In Mangakino, the Easter Event and Raft Race 2021 are happening on the Lake Maraetai lakefront on Sunday April 4. It’ll kick off with an Easter service at 9am, followed by music, races, games and food stalls from 9.30am and the raft race at 12.30pm.
Easter public holidays mean some of our facilities will be closed. Taupō, Turangi and Mangakino libraries will be closed on Good Friday, Sunday April 4 and Monday April 5.
Landfill and transfer centre hours vary by location. You can find out hours for specific centres by visiting taupo.govt.nz/rubbish.
If your rubbish and recycling is normally collected on a Friday, it will be collected on the Thursday before Good Friday – so that means rubbish normally collected on Friday, April 2, will be collected Thursday, April 1.
This means our contractors will be collecting a lot more rubbish and recycling than normal tomorrow (Thursday, April 1), so please be patient and expect it may be collected later than usual. We may also be using different trucks for different recyclables, so if some recycling is collected and some left, don’t stress! Another truck is coming! Monday collections will run as normal.
Our customer service centres in Taupō and Turangi will be closed on Good Friday but open 10am to 1pm for the rest of the long weekend. The Mangakino customer service centre will be closed from Good Friday and will reopen on Tuesday, April 6.
Taupō Museum will be closed on Good Friday, but otherwise open every day from 10am to 4.30pm. The AC Baths will be open from 7am to 7pm each day.

If yes to any of these questions, then please see our buyers this week. We will buy single items or complete collections.
The recent lockdown has seen many of us take the time to sort items we no longer require or simply want to turn into cash.
We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.

______________________________________________________
NORTHLAND: Wayne and Kate - Engraving Systems
"Wayne and Kate have been trying to support all the local sports clubs and businesses with great service and going that extra mile to help. They really have brought some life back into the community and should be acknowledged and rewarded for all the hard work."
AUCKLAND: Lynnae Palu - F45 Training Takapuna
"With no ability to trade in Level 3 or above, they still keep their members engaged and motivated with online workouts and daily challenges even though memberships are on hold and the gym is closed. They really are more like a family than a gym ❤️."
WAIKATO: Team at Incredible India - Incredible India Restaurant
"Not only do they make the most authentic, delicious Indian food. Their service is thoughtful and kind. We always feel appreciated for using their establishment, either by the warm greeting we get, the offer of a drink if we are waiting for take-out and their cute handwritten messages on the carry bag of dinner. They put the effort into the whole package not just making money."
BAY OF PLENTY: Team at Benny and Brew - Benny and Brew
"Our neighbourhood was missing a great cafe and meeting place. Since Benny and Brew have opened they have given our neighbourhood a massive lift. It's a place where you go for the people and the food and drink are delicious which is icing on the cake. For a bit, they were operating as a French bistro and the food was to die for! These guys have worked so hard and brought such joy to our neighbourhood"
HAWKE’S BAY - GISBORNE: Jazz and his family - Bossman Dairy - Creagh St Store
"Every member of this family who serves in the shop are very friendly, helpful and always smiling. They get to know all their customers and I have never walked into a shop that makes you feel so welcome. During our first lockdown for Covid, they put food such as milk, bread, out for people who may need it free of charge."
TARANAKI: Reece and family - Valentine's Valet
"Reece the owner of Valentine’s Valet, often helped by his Dad, mainly deals with lawns and gardens but he runs both a Carpet Cleaning and a Car Buffing business also. He is extremely hard-working, helpful and friendly and is happy to do the odd job that doesn’t fall into one of his usual categories. He comes to us fortnightly and we could not do without him. If anyone deserves an award it is — Reece Valentine!"
MANAWATU-WANGANUI: Jamie - JD Hair Design
"Jamie is amazing - not only does he offer incredible haircuts at an affordable price he is a genuinely caring man. With a heart of gold, everyone is whānau to him and he treats you like it. I always leave his salon looking fabulous but also feeling fabulous. He is the type of man that fills your inner well of good feelings while he makes you feel and look special."
WELLINGTON: Meredith and Craig - Avalon Service Centre
"Meredith and Craig Butland and their team do a wonderful job and go the extra mile to make sure every job is to the customer's satisfaction. They drop people at their workplaces and pick them up when work on the car is finished. They take the time to talk to customers about anything and are great neighbours to the local residents. Avalon Service Centre are definitely our local heroes in Avalon."
NELSON - MARLBOROUGH: Mary Jane and Colin - Lemon Tree Lane
"Lemon Tree Lane is a great big little gift shop. I am so grateful for Mary Jane and Colin's 'You are very welcome' and 'it's no trouble at all' attitude. Their prices are very reasonable, they always happily gift wrap with beautiful papers and ribbons as a part of their service. I truly can't speak highly enough of this community-minded couple and their classy, extensive range of items that never leave us disappointed."
CANTERBURY - WEST: Troy Cameron - ATC Accounting Services
"Troy Cameron is a local accountant. He is an awesome family man and it is not unusual to see Matilda, his Kune Kune pig, snuggled up with his dog and daughter in his lounge. It was the flying pig on his flyer that made me call him 2 years ago and as we had just gone into business which was scary in itself, let alone dealing with an accountant, we have never looked back. Troy goes the extra mile and his fees are more than reasonable"
OTAGO - SOUTHLAND: Richard Smith - CJ Sinclair
"The owner is Richard Smith whose family have been in the motor trade in the Ranfurly Naseby area for over 100 years. During the last years lock down our car broke down leaving us feeling quite uncomfortable as we live some distance from medical & other services. Richard came to our rescue. We need such companies and people in our rural areas. Richard demonstrates such excellent attributes required in our area."
