Upper Clutha Messenger 2 July 2025 by Upper Clutha Messenger

ROTARY

The much-anticipated annual Rotary Club of Wanaka book & jigsaw sale, which will feature thousands of second hand books, will take place this weekend for three days (from Friday, 4 July to Sunday, 6 July).

The book sale has traditionally attracted hundreds of people to the Lake Wanaka Centre in search of a great read at a bargain price.

Rotary Club of Wanaka president Marie Fitchett said the public response to donating books and jigsaws over the past few weeks has been wonderful.

“We have had thousands of books and a lot of jigsaws dropped off at Mitre 10 MEGA,” Marie said. “The Rotary

team are busy sorting them and preparing for the sale.”

The books have been categorised to make browsing easy and are priced from $3. Some newer books and special interest books are a little more expensive.

“It’s a big job to categorise and price but well worth it when we see the response and the funds we can raise for the community,” Marie said.

All funds raised will go to help the Rotary Club of Wanaka support worthwhile projects and causes.

The book sale will take place over three days at the Lake Wanaka Centre from July 4-6. Opening hours are 10am-4.30pm each day.

The best real estate partnerships can be born over something as simple as a walk, a co ee, and a quick chat.

That’s how the collaboration between Harcourts Wanaka agents Gavin Vize and Bel White began — two people with di erent backgrounds and skill sets who, just six months into their partnership, are already hitting their stride.

What started with shared values and mutual respect has quickly evolved into a dynamic, high-energy team. Gavin and Bel bring complementary strengths to the table, combining decades of professional experience with a genuine, client-first approach that’s already delivering standout results.

“Real estate is a people business,” says Gavin. “It o en starts with a connection to the brand, but ultimately, it’s about working with people you like and trust, people who care about your goals. When Bel comes on board, it’s like flicking on a turbo switch. She li s the energy, and things just click.”

school fundraisers, and local initiatives like the Lake Hawea Fire Brigade and Family Fishing competitions.

Together, Gavin and Bel share a vision built on clear communication, honest advice, and five-star service.

Bel, who relocated to Wanaka a decade ago and raised her young family here, brings a background in administration and a natural talent for building strong relationships. A er a few years travelling with her family and creating unforgettable memories, she returned to Wanaka ready to re-enter the workforce -- jumping into real estate with drive, focus, and a strong sense of purpose.

“Every client experience matters,” says Bel. “We’re proud of the work we do and the results we’re achieving, and it’s exciting to see that momentum building.”

And if client testimonials are anything to go by, vendors feel the same. The vendors of 12 Sentinel Drive praised the communication, enthusiasm and positivity as “fantastic” and described Bel as amazing and very professional.

Vendors of Marbleleaf Lane in Albert Town were also full of praise. “They used each other’s strengths to help us through the process and Gavin was great at knowing the facts about the current market. Both Gavin and Bel made us feel like part of the team and their combined enthusiasm, experience and shared goals resulted in a sale that worked for all parties,” they said.

If you’re considering selling, Gavin and Bel would love to help. Reach out for a free market and property assessment -- and find out what makes this dynamic team decidedly di erent.

Gavin, a qualified accountant with nearly 30 years’ experience in sales and marketing, has a deep understanding of market dynamics and a sharp eye for strategy. He’s called just under 400 property auctions across Central Otago and is known for his calm, informed approach and ability to guide clients through every stage of the selling process.

He’s also an active member of the Wanaka and Hawea communities, lending his time to charity events,
