Another Saturday morning of open homes! We visited three this morning:-
This was in a lovely setting with a big pond and a waterfall. Lots of land with it too.
This house had amazing views over the water and had really big rooms.
The third one was very unique with an indoor water feature and wavy walkway.
All were very nice. Still nothing that perfectly suits us but lots of interesting houses to consider.
In the afternoon we drove to Puketi Forest and went along the nature trail.
There were huge kauri trees – native to NZ and growing up to 50 metres tall with a girth of 16 metres (read here if you want to know more about them ). There were also lots of varieties of palm and a few Ponga (these are silver fern – the national symbol).

Hmmm ... a tree with a girth up to 16m?? So what's the girth of the human inserted for scale...? :)
