'TIS THE SEASON

It is the season and beyond all reason we feel more pressure than at any other time to spend more money than we can afford, just to celebrate 1 day.

Not everyone subscribes to the 'silly season'. Whether that is because of religious or cultural beliefs, or a refusal to buy in to the commercialism of a day, it does not matter, people can and do make up their own minds.

I have to admit I love the whole package, especially the family get together.
And lights twinkling in the late evening.

Last year in Opotiki the Eastern Bay Energy Trust provided a stainless steel spiral christmas tree that was lit with green and white lights, it made a welcoming beacon for anyone travelling through our town at night.

But of course we are lucky here to be surrounded by natures very own christmas tree, the pohutakawa. A fine example of this being the 'Pohutakawa Tunnel' that welcomes all driving through Waiotahi towards our coastal town.



No matter what your reasons are for your season, we do not discriminate. We have the belief that everyone is entitled to live their life in an environment that offers a holistic approach. Whether you want solace for the soul, metaphysically speaking enjoying all nature has to offer, or just want a different lifestyle and location, don't look past us, we are always looking ahead.
