Secure a slice of paradise
The newest real estate project in Raglan, Rangitahi, offers a small slice of seaside beauty on New Zealand's west coast.
This brand-new, environmentally friendly neighbourhood in the city seeks to give people land so they can start their own ideas, live a life of beauty and simplicity, and integrate into a laid-back seaside community.
Like any new community, Rangitahi will be set up to meet all of your needs. A café, a daycare, 14 kilometres of walking trails around and around the Peninsula, recreational facilities (tennis courts, basketball hoops, playgrounds, and frisbee golf), and a variety of retail stores and office buildings are just a few of the amenities.
To learn more about Rangitahi and the available sections, or to book a site visit, check out the website and contact Sam for more info.
Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
