promoting sustainable use of our/your beach.

Horse owners might think they have a right to ride on our beaches but I have a right to stop it if I know it is negatively impacting on my and others rights. Environmental issues aside, horse poo all over the beach where people swim, walk and play does impact negatively on enjoyment.

I am not a horse hater. I have owned horses, and mustered and drafted cattle on horseback on a daily basis for years. Once upon a time I, too, rode on the beach but now I know better.

There are other areas in Raglan where you can ride a horse. One place is Wainui Reserve, just above the beach, and it has fantastic views of the beach, sea and coastline.

And dogs are not allowed – just horses.

Kind regards Fred Lichtwark.

‘Get on with it’: Mayor

W

aikato District Mayor Allan Sanson says the “doors remain open” for further discussion with Waipa District and Hamilton City councils about the future of water services.

But after years of talking he wants all three councils to “get on with it” and reach a firm conclusion about the best way to manage water, wastewater and storm water.

Sanson was responding to strong signals from Hamilton City Council last week that it may consider forming a shared waters management company with the other two councils. The proposal, which would see each council retain ownership of its own water and waste water assets, has yet to be formally agreed by HCC or discussed with the other two councils.

Sanson said he would welcome a tangible proposal from the city but Waikato District Council’s position was clear.

“My council still considers an asset-

owning CCO the best option for our ratepayers and for the wider region. That’s consistent with what multiple experts have told us over multiple years and that’s what’s going to give our people and the wider region the most benefit,” he said.

“But each council must do what it believes is in the best interests of its own ratepayers so let’s get on and bring this issue to a conclusion. It’s gone on long enough and I look forward to talking to the other councils once HCC has confirmed its position.”

Waikato District Council had a longterm relationship with Watercare Services and would continue discussing how the council could work more closely with Watercare if there were benefits for the district, he said.

“We’re very strongly committed to improving the way we provide water and wastewater services. So it’s business as usual until we know what’s on the table and can make final decisions.”

WDC

Wastewater rates set to rise

T

he cost of wastewater rates in Raglan will increase between $124 and $180 from July 1 as council makes changes to reduce the risk of sewage spills into the environment.

The Waikato District Council is seeking feedback from the 11,0000 ratepayers who use its wastewater services on a programme of works, with three options presented for consideration.

Mayor Allan Sanson said three sewage spills in Raglan Harbour in four months last year was a major wakeup call, and the council acknowledged that it had considerable work to do to restore public confidence in the management of its wastewater schemes.

“We have spent considerable time and money to commission an independent investigation of the wastewater services we provide, and we now present you with some options to consider for the year ahead.”

Everyone who pays a wastewater rate will have received an Annual Plan 2017/2018 consultation document in the post regarding the significant changes the council is proposing to its Long Term Plan 2015-2025.

Across the district, rates will rise from between $47 and $254, depending on the

choices made and where ratepayers live.

Currently there are five different rates for wastewater across the district and council is in the process of aligning them into a single rate. In Raglan, that will mean a rates rise of $124.69 for option one, $156.05 for option two, and $180.09 for option three.

Council has already committed an extra $1.76 million on jetting clean a proportion of its town networks (50% in Raglan, 10% elsewhere), improving the link to Raglan of the computer monitoring system, two additional generators and a public education programme starting in Raglan, which will add $67.82 to targeted wastewater rates for 2017/18 (currently $752.68).

Option one then also includes maintenance and separating the water supply and wastewater services, which would lift the increase to $112.58 – up to $865.26.

This option does not offer any improvements to performance levels in wastewater services, so the council’s current target of five spills per 1000 connections in dry weather per year would remain.

Options two and three include the works programme of option one, and: expanding the education programme to district-wide; accelerating work to prevent stormwater

infiltration of networks (option three only); expanding pump station storage; ensuring standby generators are available 24/7 district-wide; a full upgrade of the computer monitoring and alarm system; investigating resource consent options for emergency overflows to mitigate legal risk and costs; and further jetting/CCTV work.

The main difference between options two and three is the amount of jetting/CCTV work (cleaning and data collection) to be invested, with option two concentrating only on assets 100m from a waterway and option three targeting a district-wide approach.

Option two will add $143.94 to the 2017-18 targeted rate of $752.68 (to $896.62) while option three will cost an extra $167.98 (to $920.66) – a difference of $24 per ratepayer, however the consultation document warns that option three could result in greater spends in the future in order to meet increased performance targets.

Changes to performance-level targets is not part of this consultation process – but option two would allow council to develop wastewater improvement plans with a vision to introduce a new performance target of no more than three overflows per 1000 connections in dry weather per year; and option three a performance target of no more than one spill per 1000 connections.

If council chooses to improve its performance levels – which will require further consultation prior to developing the Long Term Plan 2018-2028 – then wastewater rates will rise again in 2018/2019 depending on the work required to achieve the new targets.

The best “guesstimates” would see further increases of $27 for option one (from $865.26 to $892.95), $124 for option two ($896.62 to 1021.29) and $225 for option three ($920.66 to $1146.20) in the following year.

Council’s recommendation is to pursue the works programme of option two because “it balances future environmental protection with affordability”.

The consultation document is available at the council’s offices and libraries, or online.

Feedback (submissions) can be given by post, email, online or in person by 5pm, Monday, May 8. A hearing will be held on, or around, May 30-31.

I

t was a mystery why suddenly Bush Park Wainui’s Millennium Ponds’ fountains suddenly began to flow again.

The chairman of the Friends of Wainui Bush Reserve was certainly “puzzled”, for it had been agreed to get a solar pump to get water streaming from the fountain again and that hasn’t happened yet.

A group of kids celebrating a 5th birthday party at the reserve a few weeks ago certainly enjoyed it, splashing under the fountain and playing in the water.

But credit is due where credit is due, says Bruce Tresidder, a retired tanker driver who has a bed and breakfast across the road from the bush park.

He says it’s been a long time coming that Raglan resident and old-timer Felix Davy gets the recognition he deserves for not only building the Millennium Ponds and fountain but for helping him to get them flowing again – although it has been a bit of a start-stop situation requiring many hours of standing in the cold and icy Wainui Stream.

Bruce says 88-year-old Felix built the fountains and the ponds, helped hand-plant thousands of native trees and dug out the tracks at the reserve in the 1990s, yet was never invited to the opening ceremony for the Millennium Ponds or publically acknowledged for his work.

“This is to give Felix recognition of that time,” he says, after contacting the Raglan Chronicle to tell the tale.

Bruce discovered Felix’s story after inquiring at The Club who he might contact about the old fountains because they hadn’t been going for some time and he liked to tell his guests to go look at them.

“Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make this and they were not working!”

The ponds were stagnant and full of mosquitos, he says.

“So I tracked Felix down and we spent the last couple of months getting the fountain going again.”

The fountain draws water from the Wainui Stream.

“Felix came and showed me where the pipes were.”

No longer the spry man of his fencing contractor years, Felix struggled through the bush on two bad knees to find them for Bruce.

The pipes and filters were all blocked with silt, says Bruce, who at 68 is not exactly a spring chicken himself.

“It took a week or two before we could get a proper flow going. And then we got the flow going and it was the most amazing sight in the world.”

Felix was so happy, says Bruce – there were tears of happiness in the old man’s eyes.

It had been a long time since Felix last ventured to Bush Park Wainui.

The 10-hectare park area is part of the larger Wainui Reserve and has been planted and tended by Friends of Wainui, founded

by Seth Silcock, since 1993.

“It was a shambles,” says Felix of the bush park’s original state. “It was covered in weeds.

“Peter Weiss propagated most of the plants, and when I was there with him we planted 10,000 trees.

“I benched all these tracks out with a spade. I quite enjoyed doing that sort of work and got stuck in.”

Felix says he came up with the idea to build the ponds when Seth asked him if he could do anything with the area.

“Where the ponds are, used to be swamp. We dug the swamp out and made the ponds” using rocks that were found in the surrounding lawn area.

“As fast as they barrowed the rocks over I made this,” says Felix, who intentionally made the ponds shallow so that children would play in them.

He says he loved seeing children play in the ponds again, recently, under the spray of the fountain.

“In its original state, I used to maintain it once a fortnight.

“I made sure you could see the bottom of it.”

He’d scrub out the ponds so that they were nice and clear, he weeded around the rocks and surrounding area, and “trimmed the edges with Seth”.

But after six years of volunteer work to help establish the reserve area – including 600 hours in the year he built the Millennium Ponds – he walked out over a disagreement about planting.

He went back once to have a look at his ponds but told his wife, who died about 10 months ago, “I’m not going back again – it’s an eyesore”. The fountain was dry, the ponds were stagnant and the rocks covered in weeds.

“And then Bruce rang me up.”

“That explains that mystery,” says John Lawson, chairman of Friends of Wainui Bush Reserve, when contacted about the fountain.

John says there is a lot of silt in the stream and over the years the fountain blocked up and stopped working a number of times, and been restarted.

The silt from the water would also collect in the ponds, which then had to be cleaned out every couple of weeks.

He says Friends of Wainui decided it would be better to replace the gravity fed fountain system with a solar pump, and circulate water in the ponds instead of using the water from the stream.

But then all of a sudden the fountain was working again.

“If they can get the current system working – which we have given up on – we welcome that but they seem to be having as much luck with it as we were.”

Raglan farmers help bail out flood victims

R

aglan farmers have helped provide some relief to those stricken by the recent floods in Edgcombe.

Hay bales being loaded on to the truck to be taken to Edgecumbe.

PGG Wrightson Real Estate agent Richard Thomson says a truck and trailer full of hay was last week delivered to farmers most in need after the swollen Rangataiki River submerged the township and surrounding rural areas.

Many paddocks were completely underwater and Federated Farmers helped to move more than 3500 cattle off farms.

Farmers face a hard winter because feed, usually grown in winter, was lost in the floods. Remedial work has to be done to pastures that were underwater for days and supplentary feed supplies have also been destroyed.

Richard says he was telling Rod and Bobbie Shields, the owners of Mangatawhiri Rd property he is selling, about the hardships his farmer friend in Edgcombe is facing and they straight

away offered up 18 round bails to help out.

A truck and trailer fits 44 round bales so Richard did a ring around of farmers he knows, and Wally Hawken, Roger Peart and Martin Koning who all donated to the worthy cause.

Richard, who was a farmer himself for 20 years, organised the truck, loaded it up and paid for the transportation.

“I want to thank the generosity of these guys,” he says of the Raglan farmers who gave hay.

He says the hay was sent to his mate, David Prout, who lost half his fields in the flood, to allocate it to those most in need.

“Half of David’s farm was submerged – he lost half of his fields.

About 30 farms were seriously affected.”

Pipers help blow away the competition R aglan pipers Deirdre Bourne and Brett McCardle recently helped blow the competition away at the New Zealand Pipe Band Championships in Nelson.

The couple play in the Hamilton Caledonian Pipe Band – because they are the only remaining pipers in Raglan – and the band cleaned up the grade-four competition at the nationals on March 12.

“We marched on in there and took out the pool of 22 bands,” says Deirdre, who took up bagpiping as a child after falling in love with the sound at a Christmas parade.

Brett, who is born and bred in Raglan, played in the Raglan Pipe Band as a kid.

“We won our grade. We won all the possible prizes in our grade,” says Deirdre.

That included for drumming, piping, street march, dress and ensemble (how the band sounds together).

“The best possible score of the day was eight and we got eight. So that was pretty cool.

“No-one else in grade four got any trophies. We got a whole pile of trophies and go up to grade three, which is a bit more challenging – you have to be snappier in your playing.”

The 53-year-old laughs that it might be more fun remaining in the bottom grade and “winning all the cups”.

Deirdre says the band of 12 pipers and seven drummers had a really good buildup to the nationals.

“Last year we were sitting on fourth, and this time it was everyone else going “why did I come?’”

The band knew, and everyone knew, that they “had the sound”.

“It’s all about the sound,” says Deirdre.

You know that sound created by a really good bagpiper that “makes people cry and stuff”. “If you can create that sound, that is amazing. Then if you can get a whole group of people making it, that’s something special.”

That’s not usually something a grade-four band can do, laughs Deirdre. They can make people cry because they can sound really awful.

“Usually it’s not quite there.

“We played our best on the day. It comes down to those four minutes. Quite often you leave your best performance under the trees but we managed to pull it off.”

Friendship bench at Raglan Area School

The children of class E4 at raglan Area School made a Friendship Bench at the end of the term. The kids came up with the idea when brainstorming how to make E block better. This bench is for kids who feel left out or lonely - they sit on the bench so the other kids can know to invite them to play, or go and chat to them. No bullies allowed. On the same day, the children also made Friendship Team sashes.

The Anzacs We will remember them...

ANZAC Day: Tuesday 25 April 2017 F – commemorates those killed in war, as well

irst observed in 1916, ANZAC Day – 25 April

as honouring returned servicemen and women, their families and also the communities who still remember the sacrifice those service personnel made.

It is also a day to remember current New Zealand Defence personnel serving in some far away land away from their families and friends.

The date itself marks the anniversary of the landing of New Zealand and Australian soldiers – the Anzacs – on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915, 101 years ago.

Thousands lost their lives in the Gallipoli Campaign: 87,000 Turks, 44,000 men from France and the British Empire including 8,500 Australian and 2,779 New Zealanders, may they all rest in peace.

The Raglan Returned and Services Association (RSA) again plans to commemorate this solemn day with a parade that will march to the cenotaph on Bow Street at 11.00am. Form up for the parade will commence around 10.30am and all service personnel and ex-service personnel are welcome to join in.

There will be many guests and dignitaries in location including Barbara Kuriger (MP for Taranaki/ King Country), Clint Baddeley (District Council

Representative), Alan Vink (Community Board Representative), and Roger Gallagher (Raglan Arts Council).

The service will be officiated by our Kaumatua Sean Ellison and Minister Kathleen Gavin. Wreaths will be laid at the cenotaph by a variety of local organisations and speeches will be conducted by the head boy and head girl from Raglan Area School.

161 Battery personnel will also be in attendance, having the freedom of the city. They will provide a catafalque guard, a flag orderly and will march in the ANZAC Parade.

The Master of Ceremonies will be Saen O’Brien, the new RSA President. Saen is a retired NZ Army Major with 27 years service including operational service in Angola, East Timor and Cambodia.

Recited on ANZAC Day is verse 4 of a poem written by Robert Laurence Binyon, often referred to as “Binyons Lines” or more properly “For the Fallen.”

Within the RSA this is referred to as The ODE. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun, and in the morning We will remember them.

RAGLAN Chronicle 7

Raglan’s younger generation helps Anzac tradition flourish R Lexi Holmes will share the story

aglan Area School head girl

on Anzac Day next Tuesday of her grandfather’s uncle who died 100 years ago in a hospital in Lyon, France, after being wounded during World War One. John John Grandeson, who was from Scotland, was an only son with seven sisters. Lexi says his loss brings the reality “that men died for us to live a better life” very close, despite the century that separates this 17 year old from a forebear who was not much older than herself at the time of his death.

Finding out about extended family’s war effort in preparation for her speech at Raglan’s annual commemorative service has certainly made the significance of Anzac Day more personal, says Lexi.

“It’s not glorifying war,” she insists.

“It’s remembering.”

Lexi will share the guest speaker role at the cenotaph next Tuesday with area school head boy Liam Dingle, who will also have a personal story to tell.

School principal Malcolm Cox says senior students step up every Anzac Day to help the Raglan community honour those who served in wars past. “There’s no having to ask them twice.”

They see the yearly ritual as a “privileged environment”, he adds, and the expectation is that the students giving the address will be supported on the day by other leadership team members.

It’s a tradition started by the school 14 or 15 years ago, Malcolm explains. One of his own sons, Joshua, was coincidentally the first student to speak at the local Anzac ceremony.

“It went down incredibly well with the audience and we have been invited every year since to provide a speaker,” says Malcolm. Having both head students in that role brings together different elements and “blends nicely”, he adds.

Malcolm sees more young people every year at the local service. They are connecting now to their own family stories, he believes, a trend which coincides with a vastly increased interest by younger people around the country in the Anzac tradition.

That “connectedness” from younger generations is now helping keep the commemoration very much alive, he says.

Malcolm also praises Raglan Club for fostering student interest in Anzac Day by running an annual essay-writing competition with “generous” prizes.

This year’s topic – the Gallipoli Campaign – has seen about 40 students from two of the district’s four schools compete for the $1000 prize money.

“It’s just one way of encouraging our young people to learn a bit of history,” says club manager Chris Lourie.

Coincidentally, Lexi is a previous entrant in the essay competition, as a year eight student.

Raglan RSA acting president Colin Hodkinson says the younger generation’s commitment to the Anzac ceremony downtown – either as participants or as service-goers – has “become huge” during his seven-year involvement with the association.

The trend’s “a real testament to local schools and families”, he says.

The RSA also runs each year a second competition – one for the best wreath created by the district’s schools, he adds.

One of the RSA’s tasks each Anzac Day is to place small wooden crosses at the cenotaph to mark the names of deceased members, and Colin says it’s a measure of the increasing community respect for the occasion that “we have never lost one” of the crosses.

Edith Symes ● Raglan’s

Anzac Day ceremony

begins downtown at 11am Tuesday, and the opening parade will be joined by representatives of the 161 Battery RNZA from Linton, an army unit “adopted” by Raglan during the Vietnam War years.

Raglan Club Anzac Essay Competition

Winning Essay – Sophie Higgins- Te Mata School was caught in the worst of it. They say he was writing a letter home while lying in his dugout and it collapsed on top of him.

We all miss him dearly and his family will be distraught when they find out. Maybe i will write them a letter and give them my condolences.

13th July 1915

Today the whole battalion rejoiced as new has just been sent from home that a new hospital ship the S.S Maheno left port two days ago and is voyaging across the Tasman to rescue our wounded. The officers in the trench say that this is a much needed morale booster and I cannot disagree with them. Our spirits soar at the thought of all our wounded soldiers will be wounded and cared for and not lying in the trenches slowly rotting away.

25th July 1915

Students from Raglan Area and Te Mata Schools took part in the Anzac Day essay competition hosted by the Raglan Club.

28th June 1915 Today marks a year since the Turks beloved Arch Duke Ferdinand was assassinated. One could be forgiven to have thought they would be mourning this loss but alas, machine gunfire hardly faltered all day. So many soldiers have been killed or wounded by popping their heads over the parapets and trying to get an aim on the

relentless enemy. My heart splits in two at the thought of another day in this hell hole.

2nd July 1915

I was woken this morning by a rather large bomb that exploded only 10 yards away, some of the other men’s dugouts collapsed and they are now in the middle of digging a new one. Poor Clarkson, a fellow whom I’d become quite fond of

Most of us have no idea what’s going on outside of Gallipoli, apart from the odd letter from home, we can only hope that the rest of the allies are doing better than us. We are furiously hoping to gain more ground as we have been in a stale mate for a fortnight now and the Turks are showing no signs of budging soon. If only Matilda was here with me now, she’d take me into her arms and reassure me, give me hope that whether we win or lose I will return here once again.

1st August 1915

I have noticed that I’m getting dangerously thin; I caught a glimpse of

myself in the side of a beef bully container and didn’t recognise myself. My cheeks are hollowed out good and proper and I look a right mess. I see soldiers every day who look the splitting image of me but it never occurred to me that I might look similar.

We are in need of a good wash although the chances of that are very slim. If I was a lad I would have been slapped about the head with one of mother’s wooden spoons if the behind of my ears were dirty. I’d hate to think what would happen if mother saw me now.

6th August 1915

The commander of our trenches is getting sick of this damn stale mate so they’ve started to send in charges. Right and left soldiers climb over the walls of our trenches and dash across no- man’s –land in the hope of gaining a few metres. Wave after wave is being sent and we are getting mowed down by machine guns. I fear that I will be next, for whistles have been blowing closer and closer to my trench and the screams of dying men get louder with each hour. I knew that if I’m sent into one then I won’t come back out so I will write my last letter home shortly. It makes me sad to think that I will not see my dear kids grow up and marry but I hope that my wife will live to see them off.

I am also putting my journal in the care of my officer as I don’t wish for my writing to be buried along with me.

Repco new addition to Raglan Engineering hub

S

ituated on a piece of land that has a lot of local history, over the years Raglan Engineering has developed into a mechanical hub and is now adding a mini Repco store and a small motor servicing area to their list of offerings.

motors such as lawn mowers, chainsaws, weedeaters and ride-ons (small motor service area set to open early 2015).

While the Repco store will carry nowhere near the range that city stores provide, the product range has been specifically tailored for the Raglan Market.

From servicing vehicles to engineering supplies and services like welding and grinding to providing the farming community with tractor 3-point linkage accessories, Peter’s hope is that Raglan Engineering can now provide a wide-range of mechanical and engineering services to the community.

With some changes and developments afoot, next year will mark Peter’s 40th year working at 2 Park Drive and can say that the business is now a bit of a family affair.

Peter’s son Matt is helping out again in the workshop after an 18-month stint in Canada and with eight years experience working for Beaurepaires in Melbourne he has plenty of his own experience under his belt.

Matt’s older brother Stephen, who lives in Auckland, also helps out putting his management degree to good use assisting Peter with the finer details of procedures, stock control and general running systems.

“Many thanks to them,” says Peter as he looks ahead to the next step for Raglan Engineering.

So while you’re getting a WOF or service, your lawn mower handle welded or a new front steel gate made, check out the new mini Repco reseller store at Raglan Engineering No. 2 Park Drive. There are some great products coming in this week, including Christmas stocking fillers too!

Maki Nishiyama

FOR RAGLAN’S LARGEST RANGE OF 4WD AND CAR TYRES SEE :

The site at number two Park Drive was previously owned by the Hartstone family with the original workshop built in the 1940’s. Peter Williams, a long-time worker at the workshop, took over in 2000 starting what is now Raglan Engineering.

Over the last decade or so the area has developed into a mechanical hub with the addition of Williams Tyre and Mechanical, Park Drive Panel Beaters and other businesses.

“I was nervous as hell when I was about to take everything over but everything worked out and over the last 14 years I’ve had many great tenants,” says Peter.

The recent relocation of Raglan-based Aeronavics saw a space open up at Park Drive for a new venture.

“It’s something that was talked about for a long time but up to six weeks ago we had nowhere to put it,” says Peter on the addition of the mini Repco and small motor servicing side of the business.

For the past few years, Aeronavics who have relocated their main offices to a different site in Te Uku - were leasing the shed space and with their departure a decision had to be made: “find a new tenant or use the vacant space for ourselves.”

After a few meeting and inquiries, it was decided that a retail space would be put in with a mini Repco reseller store as well as a separate space for servicing small

The Herbal Dispensary invites you to an exclusive evening workshop with Antipodes

All In A Day’s Work

A series interviewing locals with interesting occupations

From left: Eva, Anna and McKenzie pictured with one of Anna's clients' Mutley. The two girls are holding the puppies that Mutley fathered.

This week the Chronicle caught up with dog groomer Anna Stevens.

How did you end up acquiring the skill of dog grooming?

I bought my parents a Miniature Wirehaired Dachshund 22 years ago and decided to purchase the equipment to groom their dog. Friends asked me to groom their dogs, then Taupo Vet Centre asked me to work in their veterinary centre and my experience grew from there.

What do you enjoy about it?

I enjoy chatting to the clients (many have become friends) and I really enjoy working with the dogs.

What's the challenging part of the job?

Knowing when to stop trimming and perfecting is the biggest challenge.

Are there breeds that are the trickiest?

There was one police dog that gave me a close up of his sharp teeth, but most of the dogs are very well behaved.

The way I see it there is quite an art to it, quite like a hairdresser.

Do you like to get creative with the styles you create?

Yes, I do. I enjoy grooming original styles and will try to achieve whatever the client asks, even if that means a full body Mohawk on a Schnauzer or a Poodle look for an Old English Sheepdog.

What else keeps you busy?

Being a mum to my four children and studying Teaching at the University Of Waikato, which involves a work placement at Raglan Area School of one day a week.

How do people and their pooches contact you?

Slice of Heaven Do you yearn for the simplicity of yesteryear?

‘Kowhai Cottage’ will bring back childhood memories of those never ending summer holidays at the beach, the long days swimming and sunbathing, the twilight beach walks, the backyard games and bbqs.

It is the ultimate kiwi bach: retro and quirky but also quiet, sunny, warm and comfortable with extensive views and its own harbour access, so you can keep your kayaks close to the water! Full of history but with the modern upgrades you would expect while still retaining its retro vibe. The furnishings are included so just bring your togs and relax.

Little Bach, BIG Views!

This 1940’s 2 bedroom home has loads of character and is cute & funky, reminiscent of the classic Kiwi Bach. Elevated & sunny it sits on a good old ¼ acre section (1017m²).

Stunning Harbour views and just a short walk to either Cox’s Bay or Lorenzen Bay for safe swimming and other water activities. A garage/ workshop provides dry & lockable storage for the toys. Develop or just enjoy it as is! This wee gem is sure to impress so you better get in quick!
