Lower Hutt (Maori: Awakairangi) is a city in the Wellington region of New Zealand. Its council has adopted the name Hutt City Council, but neither the New Zealand Geographic Board nor the Local Government Act recognise the name Hutt City. This alternative name can lead to confusion, as there are two cities in the Hutt Valley, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt. The Upper Hutt City Council objects to the name of Hutt City. The former Hutt County included much of the area of both Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt. Lower Hutt is in the Wellington Region. It is the tenth largest city in New Zealand in population, and covers an area of 376.74 km². Geography The city centres on the lower (southern) valley of the Hutt River, to the northeast of Wellington. The valley widens as the river nears its mouth, so the central urban area of the city forms a triangle with its longest side along the shoreline. In the upper reaches of the city the Western and Eastern Hutt Hills become closer, culminating in the Taita Gorge at the northern end of Lower Hutt, separating the city from neighbouring Upper Hutt. Lower Hutt includes the cluster of small settlements that extend down the eastern coast of Wellington Harbour. These include the two large townships of Wainuiomata (inland) and Eastbourne (on the coast). The city also includes a large area of sparsely-populated land to the east of the harbour, extending to Pencarrow Head and into the Rimutaka Ranges. Lower Hutt includes the islands in Wellington Harbour, the largest of which, Matiu/Somes Island, is commonly referred to by its former name of Somes Island. Hutt River The Hutt River is one of the most significant features of the city, which occupies the lower regions of its flood plain. In the 20th century stopbanks were built to contain the river, but the threat of flooding as the result of heavy rainfall persists. In 1985 the river bursts its banks, and since then floods have been on a smaller scale. Smaller streams and storm-water drains have also caused occasional problems when rainfall persistently exceeds average levels. Much of the land adjacent to the river is protected as reserve and provides a much-appreciated recreational feature, with walking tracks and grassed areas over approximately 12 km of river bank. The central urban area of Lower Hutt (including Wainuiomata and Eastbourne) had a population of 101,500 at the June 2009 estimate.

The area that was to have borne the tracks was made into gardens, giving the town an attractive point of difference. If you arrive in Pahiatua from the north, you'll be greeted by a yellow WWII Harvard, which has been converted into a children's slide. Those arriving from the south will notice the white stone Polish Memorial. For eight years from 1944, Pahiatua hosted a refugee camp for children from Poland. The town has an assortment of accommodation, shops and eating places. Local trout fishing is excellent. Pahiatua's rivers are known throughout New Zealand; within half an hour's drive you'll find 200 kilometres of fishable water.

The grounds are expansive with approximately 2 acres of beautiful lawns and gardens. Included in the chattels for this property are Mountain Bikes and Canoes which are there for the Lodge Guests use, and of course the owners.

Phil and Kim have developed a wonderful property and have built the business up from scratch.

It is well located in the centre of town with the City Council, Government Departments, and the Visitors Centre all close by. Wanganui regularly holds events that bring visitors to town. There are several bars close by that could provide evening clientele if new owners wanted to extend the existing hours. The Venue:This well known cafe and restaurant has been around for many years. It's housed in an historic building providing two dining areas, plus a lovely sheltered courtyard. The current layout provides seating for 55, including outdoor seating, but could easily add additional seating. The current owners have hosted Opera singers and other musicians, and they have all commented on the acoustics of this building. The decor includes 50's and 60's Formica tables - all familiar for our childhoods. The owners have recently added a great collection of retro Music poster around the walls, which are proving really popular with regulars and visitors alike. The Business:The current hours are Monday to Saturday, 7.30 am to 4.00 pm. Monday to Friday is very steady with office workers and tourists. Opening Sunday for brunch, and evenings Friday and Saturday, could provide good options for growth. The rent is reasonable for its location.

The river is crossed by four bridges - Cobham Bridge, City Bridge, Dublin Street Bridge and Aramoho Railway Bridge (rail and pedestrians only). Close to the southeast end of the City Bridge is one of Wanganui's more unusual features, an elevator leading to a monument on the top of Durie Hill. Prominent buildings of the city include the Sarjeant Art Gallery, and the Royal Wanganui Opera House, which was built in 1901. Cook's Gardens are a major sporting venue, used for cricket, cycling, and athletics. On January 27, 1962, a world record time for running the mile was set by Peter Snell on the grass track at the gardens. A considerable proportion of Wanganui's economy relates directly to the fertile and prosperous farming area that surrounds the city. Other local industries include engineering and port facilities. Business Broker's Comments:This is a good opportunity for a capable operator or working couple to build on the reputation established by the current owners. There is scope to extend the opening hours and seating capacity to add additional revenue.

flat The Credit Crunch Solution - The Attractive Alternative! The current global liquidity problem is having a huge impact on the ability of property investors to buy property. At the moment developers need investors more than ever but the problem is investors are unable to raise the money to invest and so the cycle continues. The 2008 credit crunch has produced and will continue to produce some of the best buying opportunities we have seen for over 15 years. Cash rich and deposit bond investors are going to be sitting pretty in years to come as they buy now property that developers are struggling to sell, often at huge discounts. Everything is on sale and you do not want to be the one that misses out. So why is the Deposit Bond so attractive for off plan property? Buying off plan property involves securing a property with a cash deposit and then waiting months maybe even years for completion. By using Deposit Bonds, the buyer avoids the need to put up the cash deposit that would normally be required to secure the property. When closing time comes the purchaser will come up with 100% of the purchase price using finance and cash. Simply put, the buyer will defer the cash required now, allowing them to keep their funds working for them. The project below is a property bond investor’s dream. Purchase in the first stage of Calibre and save between $50,000 and $100,000 Stage one of three is available for purchase now and offers sophisticated two bedroom apartments at an excellent price point for central Christchurch. The next two stages will be priced $50,000 - $100,000 higher than stage 1. These apartments will not be complete until 2010 so this is a fantastic opportunity for off plan investing with little or no money down. Calibre is located in the well known suburb of St Albans; close to central Christchurch. It is a multi apartment development with stylish features, full security systems and generous outdoor living. Priced at $325,000 - $330,000NZD (£120,000 - £122,500) these apartments offer great value for money and include two car parking spaces, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dryer, as well as FREE window furnishings. Pay only £200 now, nothing else until 2010 with deposit bonds The developers have agreed to pay the cost of the deposit bond so you could secure an apartment in Calibre today with only a £200 application fee and pay nothing else until 2010. If you elect to pay with a cash deposit all that is required is 10% of the property’s cost. This money stays secured in a lawyer’s Trust account until the development is completed. The rental guarantee means hassle free investment for you until 2011 The developers have such confidence in this development that they are offering a one year rental guarantee to see you through the initial renting phase.

flat MARINA COURT MOTEL FOR SALE AS FREEHOLD GOING CONCERN IN WHANGAREI - ROCK SOLID BUSINESS - STABLE INCOME - WELL MAINTAINED BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS - SOLE WATERFRONT MOTEL ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE IN WHANGAREI - HARBOUR VIEWS The Marina Court Motel sits bordering the shores of the marina on Riverside Drive in the heart of central Whangarei. It is the only motel with a waterfront position on Riverside Drive. The current owners have set up the operation to run on minimum daily input by offering long term rates on a regular basis, and this has generated significant good will and an excellent reputation within the international boating community, with yachties turning up who have never been to New Zealand but know exactly how to find the Marina Court because their mates have told them to stay there. This is truly a rock solid business opportunity with a steady and sustainable trade producing good profits for the owner. Due to the current business model this can either offer good returns with a more relaxed approach, or with more effort, correspondingly the returns can be raised as well by taking in more short termers who of course pay higher rates, but also require more servicing. Although the buildings have been maintained to a high level by the vendors, the opportunity still exists to reap the benefits from the capital gains that could result from some strictly cosmetic improvements for a relatively small investment. CONFIGURATION The Motel consists of 3 blocks. The owners accommodation is on the top floor of the house block. The Marina Court provides spacious and comfortable owners accommodation, with great views of the Marina area and always something of interest happening in view. There are two bedrooms, an office and open plan kitchen, lounge and dining. There is easy access to the reception area via the stairway. Downstairs in the owners block is a fully self contained flatette. In addition to the flat there is a veritable rabbit warren of storage spaces, workshops and garaging. The ground floor also contains the guest laundry which was refurbished in 2007, with coin operated machines. The two accommodation blocks contain 8 fully self contained units. There are 2 X 2 bedroom units and 6 X 1 bedroom units. Units 1,2,3,4,5 and 7 have been refurbished since arriving about ten years ago. Consent for extra units is available. The motel complex was repainted in 2001. The grounds are beautifully Maintained, with a recently recovered gazebo, a carport and freshly laid asphalt forecourt. The rooves of the two main blocks are near new, and the house roof is only about ten years old. A new underground water supply was laid in 2005. For health reasons the vendor is very keen to move on, and will consider any reasonable offers, or part trades. The Marina Court is a Freehold Going Concern which consists of Freehold Buildings sitting on leasehold land. The terms for the lease hold on the land are 21 years lease in perpetuity, which means it is an absolutely watertight agreement guaranteeing right of renewal. The lease cost represents a small portion of the outgoings as an overhead, and compared to the cost that the land would realise as a freehold it represents bargain basement value. A property like this in it's location with freehold land would cost far, far more than the current offering. Make no mistake, this is a Freehold Going Concern, without the capital outlay, opportunity costs and interest payments required to secure the land. When factored into the equation with lifestyle, location and income it represents real value. FEATURES Whangarei is the commercial centre for Northland Whangarei, with an urban population of over 47,000, is a modern and vibrant city situated at the head of a picturesque harbour. Whangarei is New Zealand's warmest and most northern city and is famous for showing visitors an easy-going good time.

commercial PRICE REDUCED!! The Old Royal Hotel building is For Sale in Thames, Coromandel Peninsula, NZ. The old Royal Hotel, Thames, is an icon of Thames' gold-mining past and stands at the gateway to the Coromandel Peninsula, one of New Zealand's most popular tourist areas. Built in 1904 to the highest standards in solid kauri, the ca. 1,000 m2 Royal Hotel building occupies a corner site in a quiet part of Thames, close to Victoria Park and the waterfront. To the delight of a supportive Council and neighbours, the building has been lovingly renovated under Architect supervision, preserving its superb character while incorporating contemporary standards. Rewired, restored and repainted, The Royal now awaits its new destiny. The Hotel features beautiful woodwork throughout and soaring ceilings. There is a sweeping porch on the ground floor, mirrored by a gracious verandah on the upper floor. A landscaped courtyard at the rear of the building offers further restful space. Resource consent has been granted for accommodation purposes. The developer's plans are available (included in the asking price) for a complete fit-out comprising:* A Boutique Hotel or Lodge with grand Reception and Office, plus 10 large ensuite rooms, many giving onto the upstairs verandah. One enormous room incorporates a kitchenette and is suitable for longer-term occupancy. There is little competition in the area for this sort of accommodation. * A Restaurant/Cafe with commercial kitchen, offering table seating for approximately 50 guests plus a very comfortable lounge area. This restaurant could be operated by the Hotel owner or leased out to a restauranteur. Thames is not overly supplied with quality restaurants. * A separate Tenancy, ideal for professional offices providing regular income - and patronage to the restaurant. * An Owner/Manager Apartment. The hotel is of a size that can be managed by a couple plus staff and the apartment design reflects that. There is on-site parking for 5 vehicles; provision to convert the street parking to angle parking for a further 7 vehicles (Resource Consent exists), and ample on-street parking in the area. The existing plans for a boutique hotel represent only one potential future for the Royal Hotel. It could equally be designed as a Rest Home, Commercial offices, Respite centre or self-contained apartments. The buyer will choose! A commercial operation will see an immediate GST claw-back of 12.5% of the purchase price: which could go a long way towards taking the Royal to the standard desired by the new owner. The Royal Hotel Thames would appear to be especially attractive to migrant entrepreneurs under the new rules, offering the right level of investment and job-creation. Professional advice should be sought. The potential revenue from the Royal Hotel as proposed is very exciting and the complex offers its new owners a gracious apartment home; a potentially exciting and profitable business; the Coromandel lifestyle on the doorstep; and great prospects for capital gain. About Thames:Thames is an historic town situated between the calm waters of the Firth of Thames and the majestic ranges of the Coromandel. It is another world: but just 1 hour 20 minutes from Auckland International Airport - or less, when the $50 million replacement for the Kopu Bridge is completed. The major towns of Tauranga and Hamilton are an hour and a bit away. Thames offers many attractions: browsing through the numerous and varied speciality shops, a colourful gold-mining history, beautiful forests and coastlines. Thames is a great base from which to visit the Coromandel Peninsula. Most places on the Coromandel are within 1 to 1.5 hours drive from the town. The Kauaeranga Valley lies in the hills just behind Thames and offers extensive walking tracks and camping opportunities as well as some of the more adventurous activities that the Peninsula has to offer. The Thames Coast, a beautiful stretch of scenic coastline just north of Thames, also offers a variety of activities and is famed for its fishing. The population of approx 7,500 is well serviced by a large supermarket, air conditioned shopping mall, many large chain stores and well as boutique shops - and 5 cinemas. There is a good trade/service sector, strong industrial group, commercial centre, hospital and medical centre supporting Thames and the larger Coromandel region. The Government has just spent $20 million on a new hospital in Thames - the base hospital for this part of the Waikato. The influx of skilled staff has produced a residential accommodation shortage. Thames boasts many pre-school/childcare facilities, several primary schools, a high school, as well as tertiary courses and continuing education programmes. There are also hundreds of sports groups, clubs, organisations, service groups, arts & crafts, gardens and outdoor activities available.

commercial Caniwi Lodge & Chalets, a Lakeside Country Estate in Taranaki is for sale. As a statement of class this property in a beautiful sheltered valley, not far from the township of Eltham in Taranaki, has it all. The majestic cedar Lodge is elegantly positioned in an impeccable setting of park like gardens with extensive lawns and the 90 acre farm of the highest caliber is enhanced by woodlands of exotic and native trees. The farm grazes cattle and would suit horses, deer and horticulture including grapes and olives if the new owner desires.

The farmland is well manicured and suitable for other income means if desired. The farm walks are a wonderful pastime for guests of the Lodge. The pet pig " Mini " is the best of garbage digestors to be found. Brokers Comments One does not get to see this type of Lakeside country retreat that often in New Zealand and the Caniwi Lodge & Chalets certainly does have a class of its own. This property is ideal for corporate retreats and weddings and with a travel time from the city of New Plymouth of just over an hour, it is within easy reach for guest arrival. My initial thoughts were that the property would be an ideal integrated resort with the inclusion of more chalets in different positions on the many farm lookouts with luxury cabins amidst the cedar and redwood trees that are themselves a wonderful feature leading to the lake side. Perhaps the setting up of a network of golf cart driveways that would link up the lakeside jetty, The farms outer reaches and the Lodge facilities and accommodation units would be a way to go. To stay the way it is with a new owners flare and creativity also appeals. Eltham & Taranaki New Zealand's success as a dairying nation has many links to this rural town. Chinese businessman Chew Chong exported the country's first butter from Eltham to England in 1884. He also built the first dairy factory in 1887. Historically, Eltham has been the most highly industrialised town (per capita) in New Zealand and currently has a small population of 2100 with a range of shops and services. Today, cheese is the town's main claim to fame. Visitors to Eltham can enjoy the charming Victorian and Edwardian buildings; the walk around beautiful Lake Rotokare, which is fed by natural springs; and the chance to buy locally made gourmet cheeses. Protected by a proud snow-topped mountain, steeped in historic significance and pounded by the restless Tasman Sea, this is a region that's impossible to ignore...a sacred place like no other. First inhabited by ancient Maori attracted to its warm ironsand beaches, rich soil, prolific wildlife and venerable sleeping mountain...then by eager European pioneers keen to secure a piece of fertile country for farming...Taranaki is a veritable melting pot of cultures and lifestyles. Populated by descendants of ancient Maori through to early immigrants from Britain, Ireland, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, China, India and many other countries, Taranaki is an ideal blend of New Zealand's past, present and future. You'll still get a cheery wave from farmers and a hello from power walkers along New Plymouth's coastal walkway, but you can also enjoy contemporary food and entertainment, plus a glimpse into New Zealand's energy future via Taranaki's fast-paced oil and gas industries. Taranaki is not just a place where cows lactate in the midday sun and oilrigs spring up suddenly from lush green paddocks. It's also a destination of rich arts and crafts, adrenaline-fuelled outdoor activities, spicy lattes overlooking the sea, quaint country hotels, large-scale music events, invigorating walks and mountain trails. Stretching from Mokau in the north to Waitotara in the south and Whangamomona in the east, the Taranaki coastline takes in more than 200km of swimming, walking, surfing, diving, kayaking, fishing and exploring opportunities...offering everything from ancient Maori cave carvings at Tongaporutu, the Sugar Loaf Marine Reserve off New Plymouth and popular Opunake Beach with its annual carnival, to Patea's clash of river and sea, the majestic White Cliffs at Pukearuhe, and desolate foam-edged swimming beaches than seem to stretch forever.
