LATEST NEWS - SUNDAY STAR TIMES
Entitled Island Time, a photograph of our property is featured on the
front cover of the ‘Summer Escape’ section of the Sunday Star Times –
January 11th 2009. Inside is an article; Island Getaways, Escape the
Mainland for a Taste of the Islands, NZ-style.
The
photograph shows native boundary planting, blocks of vines and the
planted maze, labyrinth. This photograph was taken before construction
had started for the house and Tasting Room, the view east Taster. We
use to nickname the property ‘far from the madding crowd’. Waiheke
Island is just that, an island getaway, an escape from the hustle and
bustle of the city.
The maze is another feature of our property, an organic design planted
with three different native coastal shrubs, with an off-centre centre
in which can be found a sculpture of three timber and copper figures by
local artist Richard Wedekind. The maze can be accessed from the
Tasting Room courtyard. more >>
