A social media post about a $495 a week underground flat in Central Wellington has sparked outrage from Wellington renters, who have described the unit as “like a dungeon” and something from “the set of Parasite”.
The basement unit – one of five units in a residential building on Jessie St in Te Aro – has two bedrooms and access to a private bathroom, upstairs from the unit itself, on the ground floor of the building.

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.

Kia ora Wellington Whānau

Happy New Year and welcome to the beautiful summer of 2021 (Yay) I see Hataitai beach is busy and love seeing the tamariki and whanau enjoying these amazing Wellington days at the beach and local parks - how lucky are we!

There's been a lot in the news the past few weeks about the changes in food being served in early childhood centre's and new regulations that came into affect from the 25th Jan.

At Greta Point AE, we are very fortunate to have Jo here who provides awesome meals for our children each day, and she is also very aware of the changes and has already been catering for this.

Attached is a PDF that explains what the changes mean for those of you who need to provide lunch boxes at Daycares and Kindergarten's - but you want hassle free mornings not making up lunchboxes (shameless plug here for our Center) and to be assured that someone is looking out for these regulations and providing Heathly Heart Gold standard food - come and see us at Greta Point Active Explorers.

(please note there is a waiting list for spaces)

Tūī are thriving in Wellington and conservationists say Wellingtonians deserve plenty of credit for their success.
Council possum trapping, Zealandia and people planting flax and kowhai are factors that helped their recovery.
Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust spokesperson Craig Shepherd said tūī and kererū numbers had skyrocketed in recent years.
The Johnsonville based trust is getting so many tūī it is struggling to cope. The trust wants to build two new aviaries for recovering tūī and it has set up a Givealittle page.

Arts icon Bill Sheat gives his name to dance scholarship

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Wellington arts icon Bill Sheat has given his name and money to a trust to support New Zealand dancers.
Sheat died in January after a short illness, aged 90. Long-time friend and former Royal New Zealand Ballet dancer Sandra Norman approached him with the idea of a scholarship when he became ill.

Wellington arts icon Bill Sheat has given his name and money to a trust to support New Zealand dancers.
Sheat died in January after a short illness, aged 90. Long-time friend and former Royal New Zealand Ballet dancer Sandra Norman approached him with the idea of a scholarship when he became ill.
In later years he became increasingly outspoken over what he regarded as the “Americanisation” of performing arts in New Zealand.
A proud New Zealander, he favoured Kiwis being in key positions, so they could tell stories that New Zealanders could relate to.
Sheat was well known in Lower Hutt as a partner in a law firm.
