Style explores the best of Christchurch, giving readers the opportunity to 

develop and celebrate their individual style in life, home and fashion. A monthly 

publication, Style is presented on high-grade gloss stock with a hard cover. 

Delivered flow-wrapped to top real estate value homes around Christchurch, 

it targets readers with a high disposable income. Designed to inspire, Style has 

a lengthy shelf life that offers excellent value for your advertising choice. 

Star Media is not responsible for any actions taken on the 

information in these articles. The information and views expressed 

in this publication are not necessarily the opinion of Star Media or its 

editorial contributors. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of 

the information within this magazine, however Star Media can accept 

no liability for the accuracy of all the information. 

As July begins we find ourselves right in the heart of winter. At Style this means 

luxurious winter interiors, fashion, and excitement on the ski fields, as well as a 

good excuse to seek out cosy new hot spots around the city. 

In this issue, I speak with Phil Keoghan, one of New Zealand’s most highprofile 

celebrities and action men (pg. 16). Phil is in Christchurch promoting his 

film Le Ride, which will have its world premiere at the New Zealand Film Festival 

at the end of the month. I also had the opportunity to speak with Caleb Nott 

from Broods – another hugely talented Kiwi, who is making big waves on the 

international music scene (pg. 12). 

We take a sneak peek inside a stunning Parkbridge apartment and get a taste for 

living the simple, yet luxurious, life. We also showcase the complex’s newly finished 

pool house, designed by Warren and Mahoney (pg. 20). Our interiors writer 

Georgina McCormack is back from the international furniture fairs and highlights 

this year’s trends, with style-setting examples from Mattiazzi, Resident (from New 

Zealand) and Tom Dixon. 

Looking ahead to the ski season, we provide some advice for keeping your 

children safe and warm on the slopes, as well as highlighting hot new junior ski 

fashion (pg. 46). 

Andrew Brown takes traditional Spanish dish paella and gives it a local twist with 

New Zealand greenshell mussels (pg. 54). And warm your belly this winter with 

our cocktail of the month, complete with coffee, Kahlua and vodka. 

Enjoy the latest Style,

SEEK. 

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella products are 

now available at World. This stunning bodycare range dates back to 

1221, when Dominican monks arrived in Florence and began to study 

and experiment with the properties of officinal herbs grown in their 

monastery’s gardens. This practice continued over the centuries and, 

in 1612, the monk Fra Angiolo Marchissi opened the pharmacy to the 

public. Today, the products are still being produced at the same site, 

following artisanal procedures and using raw materials of the highest 

quality – the company avails itself of modern technology and state-ofthe-art 

equipment. 

Redcurrent has opened at Westfield Riccarton. Located on level 

two, the exquisite new shop fitout offers a perfect display for all of its 

sought-after brands, including Citta Design, MOR, and Saben. On our 

hit list is the Redcurrent Cable Knit Lounge Socks – super cosy for 

the winter months. 

Barrington Mall has recently welcomed a Silver Moon concept 

store into its mix. Boasting brands such as Pandora, Karen Walker, 

Daniel Wellington and Swarovski, the jewellery store is bound to 

bring fresh faces into the shopping centre.

Frogmore has relocated from Victoria Street to

The Great Hall, at the Arts Centre, on the 

corner of Worcester Boulevard and Rolleston 

Avenue, has opened its doors again. The Great Hall 

recently won top honours at the 2016 Canterbury 

Heritage Awards. Judges praised the “commitment, 

professionalism and outstanding seismic and 

conservation programme undertaken by the Arts 

Centre after the earthquakes.” 

Casual and Country in Ferrymead has reinvented

Five 

Minutes 

With Broods’ Caleb Nott 

Broods is a Nelson-born, brother-sister music duo 

steadily rising to stardom. Performing on July 14th, this is 

Christchurch’s chance to experience Georgia Nott (lead 

vocals) and older brother Caleb Nott (production and 

backing vocals) on stage. Victoria Tait speaks with Caleb 

about music, inspiration, and fame. 

This brother and sister team have music in 

their blood. From a young age, Georgia and 

Caleb Nott performed with their parents 

at wedding and church performances in an 

ABBA tribute band. However, it was at the 

2011 Smokefreerockquest that their musical 

career took flight, after gaining the attention 

of judge Joel Little (producer of Lorde’s 

2013 hit single Royals). Two years later, they 

released debut single Bridges – which MTV 

described as “a bittersweet synth-pop echo 

chamber” – and were signed to Capitol 

Records. Now based in LA, the pair have 

produced second album Conscious (June 24), 

and are on tour in New Zealand this month. 

How do you describe your music? 

In one sentence, I guess I would describe it as 

beat-driven emotional pop. 

What creative process do you go through 

when songwriting? 

We don’t have one particular process or 

formula that we follow; it’s different every 

time we go into the studio. Sometimes 

we will start with just a beat, and then 

sometimes we start with some of Georgia’s 

lyrics and build from there. It also depends 

on who we are writing with and what works 

for everyone. 

What can we expect from your new album? 

The biggest difference in this album is 

the energy. Everything is bigger and more 

thought-out, hence that name Conscious. 

Also, it’s more diverse and covers a wide 

range of themes because it was written over 

a much longer time frame than Evergreen. 

We went through different life experiences, 

and our influences were constantly changing. 

Conscious includes a collaboration with 

Lorde, who I believe has been very 

supportive of your music. Can you tell us 

more about that? 

Ella was very easy to write with; sometimes 

you just have those sessions where everyone 

gels, and that’s when the magic happens. We 

were just all in Auckland at the same time 

and thought we should do some writing 

together, so we did! 

What is your impression of the New 

Zealand music industry? Do you think we 

are developing a particular style and sound? 

The New Zealand music industry is one of 

the most supportive in the world, I think. 

Our country goes out there and punches 

above its weight every year, and I think 

it’s something that’s only getting stronger. 

The world is only just starting to feel our 

presence. With everything being online the 

world has this access to what we do now. 

I don’t think there is a certain New 

Zealand sound so much as a genuine 

sincerity in the music we make. There is no 

bulls**t here, everyone in New Zealand 

writes about real stuff, none of this “drop it 

low in da club” crap that has saturated so 

much of the pop market recently. I think 

that’s what people find so refreshing about 

what we do down here. 

You have already achieved so much, 

including opening for Ellie Goulding. 

What is your most desired goal? 

I think our only goal is to work as hard 

as we can, and try and keep evolving and 

developing as writers and performers. 

Our other main goal when we started this 

project was longevity, which is a lot harder 

to achieve these days. You see a lot of 

bands come and go very quickly; it’s a very 

competitive industry. 

Who inspires you? 

Our inspirations are always changing, but we 

do have some influences that will always stick 

around. My ongoing inspiration is probably 

Danger Mouse and Radiohead, and Georgia 

will always admire Bat for Lashes. 

Get results.

Phil Keoghan is one of New Zealand’s most high-profile 

international celebrities, best known as the host of 

The Amazing Race. He tells Victoria Tait about his 

epic journey to film Le Ride and his list of things to do 

before he dies. 

Born in Lincoln, Christchurch, and an ex-St Andrew’s 

College student, Phil Keoghan has always maintained a 

strong connection to Christchurch. After the February 

2011 earthquake, he returned home to record segments 

for American morning television programme The Early 

Show to help raise funds for the New Zealand Red Cross 

and also promote tourism in Christchurch. 

His career started at the age of 19, with his first 

on-screen role for children’s show Spot On, filmed in 

Dunedin and Christchurch. He went on to further 

television roles, including reporting for TV series That’s 

Fairly Interesting – alongside Tim Shadbolt, Neil Roberts, 

Sue Kedgley and Phil Gifford. With stars in his eyes and a 

natural on-screen presence, he moved overseas to extend 

his opportunities and, today, has worked in more than 

100 countries as a television host, producer, writer, and 

cameraman. 

Phil has won numerous awards for his work, including 

10 Emmy Awards (of 17 nominations), all for The 

Amazing Race as a producer and a host. In 2012, he was 

recognised as one of six “Emerging Leaders” during the 

Sir Peter Blake Leadership Awards, for his support of 

the Christchurch earthquake relief and funds raised for 

multiple sclerosis. In 2014, he was made a Member of 

the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services as a 

television presenter and to tourism. 

Phil is also a published writer, releasing No Opportunity 

Wasted: 8 Ways To Create A List For The Life You Want 

(2004). This is man who plans to live his life to the fullest, 

and with a strong sense of adventure has already broken 

a world bungee jumping record, gone diving in the world’s

STYLE | in profile 17 

longest underwater caves, eaten a meal on top of an 

erupting volcano, and renewed his vows under the sea 

while feeding sharks. 

In 2009, Phil took part in Ride Across America, a bike 

race in which participants clock up more than 4800km as 

they travel from Los Angeles to New York. Stopping at 

39 cities, the course is described as being 30 per cent 

longer than the Tour de France. Phil’s efforts were driven 

by his ongoing commitment to raising funds for multiple 

sclerosis research. To further boost the profile of his 

efforts, he set himself the goal of completing the race in 

40 days, which meant160km per day. Not only did he 

conquer another challenge, he helped raise more than 

$637,000 (USD $450,000). 

Four years later, Phil donned his cycle gear one 

more, this time in France. With his friend Ben Cornell, 

they recreated the original route of the 1928 Tour de 

France. Averaging 240km a day, for 26 days, Phil and 

Ben traversed both the unforgiving mountains and the 

Western Alps, on original vintage steel bikes, without 

gears and marginal brakes. 

A documentary, Le Ride, was made simultaneously, 

primarily to raise the profile of New Zealand champion 

biker Harry Watson, also originally from Christchurch. 

Harry Watson was part of the first English-speaking team 

to take on the Tour de France. 

What was it about Harry Watson’s story that inspired 

you to embark on 1928 race route, 85 years later? 

Harry Watson was a cycling champion from New Zealand 

and yet hardly anyone has heard of him. If he was an All 

Black he would be considered a hero. To take a six-week 

journey by sea to France and take on the world’s best 

in what is arguably the toughest sporting event in 1928, 

on roads that were not sealed, riding an average of 150 

miles [80km] a day is incredible. When they arrived they 

learned that the six riders promised to them to complete 

their team were not available, so they had to race as a 

team of four against teams of 10. I was so blown away by 

this untold story that I was inspired to do a documentary 

about Harry Watson and attempt to recreate the 1928 

Tour de France route. 

What can people expect from the subsequent film, 

Le Ride? 

I hope the audience will appreciate what these brave 

riders from Down Under endured day after day. That 

they embarked on this gruelling journey without seeking 

recognition and just got on with it. In an era where 

everything is announced on social media, it’s incredible to 

DoUg JENSEN 

think Harry went looking for adventure and then returned 

to his job as if nothing happened. He did not seek fame 

or fortune. I bet if you mentioned Harry Watson’s name 

to anyone you would be met with a questioning look. I 

had never heard of him either and now I hope his name is 

never forgotten. 

How did you physically prepare for this ride? Especially 

as you were attempting this on a vintage steel bike 

without gears? 

The 1928 bike was not ready to ride until a week or so 

before the actual ride around France so I had to train on 

my regular bike, which weighs about 17 pounds [7.5kg]. 

The 1928 bike weighs twice as much and has no gears. 

The biggest challenge was riding for hours and hours 

without cracking mentally. Some of the days were 200 

miles [320km] and I had to prepare my head for that.

Did the one bike last the distance? 

Ha – you will have to see Le Ride to find out. 

Did you ever thing you wouldn’t make it? 

When I thought I couldn’t go on I thought of Harry and 

his team! We had better nutrition and better roads and 

we had a support team. It was punishing enough for us, 

but every time I thought of Harry, I was able to push on. 

What made you choose to donate funds from Ride 

Across America to multiple sclerosis research? 

My producing partner and wife, Louise, and I used to 

sponsor an under-23 cycling team in the US and a 

professional women’s cycling team. Initially we were 

approached by an existing cycling team who supported 

MS and we decided to continue the association. It wasn’t 

long before we met so many people affected by MS and 

realised that we could do a lot to raise funds for research. 

So, we helped raise over a million dollars for MS. It seemed 

appropriate that we continued our support with our film. 

DoUg JEnSEn 

I believe you have a list of things to do before you die, 

what’s left? 

Focus on making this world a better place. My list is less 

about my personal goals now and more about how I can 

contribute to improving the lives of others. Whatever that 

takes I will stick on my list. 

gEtty 

gEtty 

Who would you choose as a companion to compete in 

The Amazing Race? 

Maybe my daughter Elle. She is smart and tough and an 

athlete. We might argue a bit as we are both stubborn, 

but she would get the job done! 

Having travelled to more than 100 countries with The 

Amazing Race, is there an experience or country that has 

had a huge impact on you? 

India is always mind-blowing. Such a colourful and vibrant 

country. I think everyone should try and visit India. It’s hard 

to put into words, so just go if you can. 

What is your greatest achievement? 

Being a father and good husband. I have a great family 

and every day I appreciate my wife and daughter. I’m sure 

it’s not easy for them with me travelling so much, but we 

have a lot of quality time together when I’m home. Lots of 

adventures! 

The world premiere of Le Ride is on July 29, at the Isaac 

Theatre Royal, as part of the New Zealand Film Festival.

Some stories are so special they deserve to be shared and recognised. That’s why it’s appropriate 

to acknowledge the enormous recent accomplishments of Harcourts Gold’s Papanui office. 

John McFadden, Business owner and Managing Director of Harcourts gold comments... 

“It is an absolute privilege to lead the Harcourts Gold team and to be a part of the success story that is Papanui. 

From humble beginnings, Papanui remains our first and flagship office, now with our franchise in its 20th year, we have grown 

significantly, and are proud to have served our local communities and Canterbury’s real estate needs for such a long time. We appreciate 

all the support our clients have shown us during the good times, and how we have worked together in the hard times over the last few 

years. Your ongoing support means the world to us! 

Punching above our weight, it is an enormous achievement that a local business can out perform real estate offices based in international 

locations including California and companies in China, Indonesia, South Africa and Australia, as well as every other New Zealand office. 

It is true that our teams’ big heart, hard work and massive spirit is without equal anywhere. “

Karen Pasco looks through one of Christchurch’s 

most prestigious apartment blocks, Parkbridge, and its 

new pool house, designed by Warren and Mahoney, and 

built by Summitbuild. 

PHoToGraPHY Charlie JaCkSon 

The impetus for living in what many New Zealanders would 

call non-conventional spaces is often born from circumstance 

or inspiration from others. For Gowan and Glenda Pickering 

the motivation to live in the Parkbridge apartment opposite 

Hagley Park was brought on by these very things. 

Gowan’s job at IBM saw the couple travel the globe 

– New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Jakarta were all 

destinations they called home for periods of time. This 

meant when they returned to New Zealand they wanted 

to replicate the easy lifestyle they had become familiar with, 

far from the conventional quarter-acre section many New 

Zealanders aspire to have. 

“We had become accustomed to apartment living. I like 

that we can lock this place up and go away and don’t have to 

worry. We have a beautiful garden but don’t have to do any 

Window tinting for heat, fade, 

glare and privacy control 

Windows with poor 

thermal performance 

mean heat gain in 

summer and heat loss 

in winter. Unprotected 

windows also let in more

of the work, a pool, and underground parking, so we’re dry 

in all weathers. It’s a really simple way to live,” says Glenda. 

For the past five years the couple has resided in their 

275sqm property overlooking Hagley Park. Although 

on what many would call a busy corner of central 

Christchurch, the traffic noise is minimal and the 

clever original design by Sir Miles Warren means the 

hedge conceals Park Terrace and the park becomes a 

continuation of the beautiful traditional gardens. 

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is a statement 

in how nothing need be compromised when creating collective 

living. Wide halls, spacious bathrooms and sizeable bedrooms 

make sure this is a luxurious place to call home. 

The living space is a long double-aspect room, which 

encompasses the formal lounge, dining and more informal 

sitting area with the kitchen just off to the side. Glenda 

has cleverly created different rooms within this long space 

by using a darker colour at either end to almost shorten 

the room. 

The interior is a testament to the global life they have 

lived, with treasures adorning walls and side tables – many 

with an Asian influence (though Glenda admits she is now 

trying to cull her bits and pieces as she continues to make life 

even easier). In the master bedroom suite the voluminous 

space is enhanced with shimmer and light from the wallpaper 

and soft furnishings. 

In the early morning, the couple sits on the east side 

of the building with the sun streaming in as they enjoy 

reading the paper. The balcony is just the place to sit on 

a summer’s evening and watch the world go by, says 

Glenda. 

“I love it here because the view is ever-changing. We 

watch mums push prams, runners and the different seasons 

in the park. You are never lonely because there are people 

always around and nobody can see in.” 

Unfortunately, in the February 2011 earthquake, the 

apartment block was affected by the grounds dropping 

300mm. The two historic buildings, Fleming House and 

McKellar House, which the apartment block was originally 

designed around, were deemed unrepairable.

Residents have moved out one by one as the apartment 

remediation work was undertaken. Gowan and Glenda’s 

home was the first to undergo repairs, overseen 

by Warren and Mahoney architect Guy Evans and 

undertaken by Summitbuild. 

Also impacted was the pool house, a communal swimming 

area frequented by inhabitants throughout the year. Guy 

was tasked with the redesign of this building, too, taking 

into account the needs of the body corporate as well as 

the surrounds. “The design brief was to put it back but 

reconfigure a few things. One of them was to open up to a 

new barbecue area.” 

This recreational area includes a pool, changing room and 

outdoor entertaining space. 

The terracotta tiled roof was replaced with copper to 

compliment the surrounding buildings, and this lighter weight 

covering offered more flexibility in the pool house design. 

The exterior wall, which curls around the whole apartment 

development, was inspiration for the new curved roofline and 

glass wall of the pool enclosure. The interior gabled ceiling 

with its stern off-centre steel work creates an interesting 

juxtaposition. 

Guy was inspired by artist James Turrell who specialises 

in light and space workss. The vivid blue light that 

provides a bright hue in the pool is a nod to his work. 

The blue tiled wall at the end of the pool gives depth and 

provides a contrast to the otherwise pale décor. 

It is here residents come for fun or physical fitness and 

where they can indeed bask in the joy of knowing they have 

made their lives less complicated in a luxurious setting.

How much would you pay for a bottle of champagne? Luxury 

champagne maker Goût de Diamants upped the stakes by releasing 

a special diamond-studded bottle. Originally designed for an 

unnamed private client, it is now known as the most expensive 

bottle in the world, retailing at a staggering $1.8 million. The bottle 

has a 19-carat diamond encrusting the logo, on a label hewn from 

18-carat solid white gold. Inside, Brut Diamond is a blend of grand

Exceptionally 

Crafted 

After seeing it firsthand, Georgina 

McCormack returns to New Zealand 

to share the trends emerging from the 

international furniture fairs. 

Mattiazzi. 

International furniture fairs have been taking 

place all around the world over the past months 

– in Milan, New York, Sydney, London, and 

Copenhagen. These are the shows that define 

the future trends in furniture, lighting, colour, and 

design at large. 

This year there is a definite interest and 

excitement around “exceptionally crafted” and 

“intelligently designed” products. In other words, 

products that are not only beautiful to look at, but 

are made with integrity, and honour the materials 

from which they are made. 

One brand paving the way in this area is Italianbased, 

family-run Mattiazzi. Brothers Nevio and 

Fabiano Mattiazzi founded the company in 1979. 

Their network of wood shops is so diverse they 

could support any manufacturing process the 

brand may need. Their highly specialised craftsmen 

operate the most sophisticated machinery in the 

world to create chairs, benches and tables that 

are akin to works of art. 

The other brand making an impact 

internationally is Resident. Founded in New 

Zealand, this company is using world-leading 

technology and design processes to create 

furniture and lighting that is innovative, sleek and 

timeless. An example of this is the newly released 

Odin Chair by Jamie McLellan. It started life as 

a commission for a series of boutique alpine 

properties in Niseko Japan. A simultaneously 

humble and striking piece, the Odin Chair was 

designed to feel like an appropriate mix of both 

Nordic and Japanese cultures. There is a structural 

harmony in how the four die-cast aluminium 

legs cradle a seat base and curved back rest in 

laminated solid ash. The Odin is set to become a 

design classic, and investments in ‘forever pieces’ 

of furniture and lighting from brands like these are 

sure to be worthwhile.

Tom Dixon. 

At the other end of the scale, larger brands 

have been creating louder, more ‘out of the box’ 

stands at these events. At the Salon de Mobile 

in Milan this year, rather than a traditional stand 

with furniture and lighting on display, Tom Dixon 

instead presented ‘The Restaurant’ – a fully 

operating restaurant. Waitresses served incredible 

food on Tom Dixon homeware pieces while 

clients and customers dined upon and amidst the 

lighting and furniture pieces they were releasing. 

It was a brilliant way to get people immersed in 

the collections and to see the products in use – it 

became the place to go and was easily one of 

the must-see events. The evening entertainment 

at The Restaurant was provided by the designer 

himself, Tom Dixon, with his band performing to 

a packed-out crowd. 

What were once traditional trade shows have 

now become a platform for brands to present 

their products to industry and clients in refreshing, 

contemporary and exciting ways.

Furniture 

Buying guide 

Buying new furniture in no easy task. Whether it’s hunting for a statement 

piece or undergoing a complete overhaul, there is a lot to consider. Before 

you get lost in the millions of shapes and fabrics available, and lose sight of 

what you are looking for in the first place, ask yourself these questions. 

Do you have an understanding of the size of 

your space? 

If not, get the tape measure out, measure twice and 

draw up a plan no matter how amateur. Nothing looks 

worse in a room than over- or under-sized furniture. A 

scaled plan will also keep your wallet in check as you 

will shop with the restraint of dimensions. 

Do you know the colour scheme that works 

best within your space? 

Blacks and greys may be on trend now, but can 

dramatically close in a space. On the other end of the 

spectrum, light and bright colours can make space feel 

too stark and clinical. The solution, test-drive fabric 

and paint samples before committing to anything. 

ShuTTeRSToCk 

ShuTTeRSToCk 

Do you love this piece? 

If the answer is no, put it back. If the answer is yes, 

proceed to the next question. 

Do you need it or just want it? 

Just as you would at the supermarket, create a 

shopping list to ensure you don’t get tempted by 

something you don’t need. Get somewhere to sit 

down and eat before you buy the silver cutlery. 

Are you trying to make a piece you already own 

work better? 

This is an easy trap to fall into – the coffee table 

that has never quite worked, but would if you had 

a new couch, dinner table, carpet, and wallpaper. 

Commonly known as a band-aid for a bullet wound. 

Rather than try fix it move it out and replace it with 

something you love. 

Is this piece a good investment? 

Make sure you give it a test before you buy. Sit on it, 

open and close doors and explore it thoroughly. If it 

feels flimsy, it most likely is and will not last the test 

of time. Aim to buy the highest-quality piece as they 

will last. Trends come and go, but quality will remain. 

With the future in mind, ensure you choose fabrics 

that will wear well, too. Stick to the classics.

Heating your 

Home englisHstyle 

radiator central heating is an effective and 

stylish heating option for new Zealand homes. 

WORDS ViCtoria tait 

Zehnder Charleston Radiators 

When I travelled to the UK and Europe in 

my early twenties, I was surprised to find how 

warm the homes were that utilised central 

heating and radiators. I don’t understand why, 

in New Zealand, we think we have to freeze 

indoors throughout the winter, and why our 

heating systems seem more compatible with 

an Australian climate than the realistic subzero 

mornings we experience here in the 

south. Thankfully, this school of thought is 

slowly changing, and homeowners are looking 

to more efficient central heating systems. 

Radiators are becoming more commonly used, 

and what follows is a breakdown of some 

relevant facts. 

How do tHey work? 

A boiler (generally located in the garage or 

laundry) heats the water through a series 

of pipes that pump the warm water out 

to the radiators. The water returns to the 

boiler for heating and continues its cycle. The 

temperature of individual rooms is controlled 

through valves on each heating radiator. 

Pros 

» Radiators create an even temperature 

within the home, thus, in turn, create a healthy 

environment. 

» Each radiator is warm to touch but won’t 

burn, making this a safe option for children, 

the elderly and pets. For extra safety there are 

also low-surface temperature models available. 

» They can be controlled by a thermostat and 

timer to ensure your home is warm when you 

need it to be. This also saves on energy when 

you are not home. 

» Modern, stylish options are available and 

can create a feature for the room. Or, disguise 

radiators by selecting them in your wall colour. 

Cons 

» There needs to be sufficient under-floor 

space for installing and running the piping. 

» Finding enough clear wall space for radiators 

can be tricky. (Though, they do come in a 

range of sizes.) 

» If installing within an existing home, the 

process can be disruptive and expensive.

Trends from 

Chelsea 

Landscape architect Craig Wilson takes 

us through the top trends from the UK’s 

RHS Chelsea Flower Show. 

It would be hard to argue there’s a more influential event 

on the international garden design calendar than the Royal 

Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show. The 2016 event 

was no exception, and now is a good chance to catch up on 

what was trending and what ideas could be applied to our 

Antipodean gardening and landscape context. 

Commentators have pointed out the following design 

elements as key markers of the 2016 Chelsea garden aesthetic. 

Large rocks were used to create both structure and feature 

in many display gardens. This was in both natural and altered 

forms, and included a 44-tonne granite cube – with an almost 

completely hidden internal rejuvenating woodland – in the ‘M 

& G garden’ by Cleve West. Catherine McDonald used large, 

perfectly rounded smooth stones in the middle of her ‘Hartley 

Botanic Garden’ to contrast her selected delicate perennials. 

Many of the designers employed the trusted use of clipped 

evergreens to create a link between the built structure of the 

displays and the often naturalistic plantings. An element of 

formality was also noted with the use of ‘pleaching’ (entwining 

branches to form a hedge) to elevate the clipped forms and 

create strongly defined spaces. 

Garden sculpture was used in many displays to great effect. 

While looking amazing, it is hard to surpass the ability of a wellcrafted 

garden sculpture to communicate its artist’s message 

and elicit an emotional response in the viewer. John Everiss in 

the ‘Meningitis Now Futures Garden’ beautifully creates a sense 

of empathy for sufferers of the disease by depicting a wooden 

figure caught in the middle of a stone wall trying to break free. 

Responsible plant selections were also well represented with 

an ‘arid’, low-water garden, which took out Best in Show. ‘The 

Telegraph Garden’, designed by Andy Sturgeon, made reference 

to geological processes, climate change and the possibility of 

garden design being responsive to the environment. 

ABovE 

‘The Telegraph 

Garden’. 

These elements can, and have, all been successfully applied 

to landscape and garden design in our Canterbury context. A 

show garden is never meant to be real and in reality only lasts a 

few days, but if well-conceived the underlying principles may be 

timeless in their relevance, regardless of setting.

ThE FINANcIAL bENEFITS 

oF LANdScApING 

Last month we discussed the many non financial advantages of 

landscaping. This month we will consider how quality landscaping can 

add significant value to your property. 

st. 

es 

Landscaping is the shopfront of your property, it immediately creates an 

impression before your home is entered and adds significant value through 

street appeal. Involving a landscape architect from the outset will help 

you formulate a vision for your project. Compared with architecture, 

landscaping can easily be undertaken in stages as time and budget permits. 

Making an initial investment in a master plan will allow the landscaping 

to evolve cohesively. A piecemeal approach can detract from the overall 

impact - likewise undertaking the entire landscaping cheaply ‘in one go’ can 

diminish the aesthetics of your landscaping. 

The old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ holds true for landscape 

architecture. If the landscaping is cut-price, there have probably been 

corners cut along the way which will affect quality and longevity. The 

workmanship, materials and finishes won’t be on par with the services 

of a reputable landscape architect. Inferior materials which are unsuited 

to harsh Canterbury weather conditions will not last. Ensuring your 

landscaping is completed to a high standard prevents wasting time and 

money having to remediate landscaping failures. 

Obviously landscaping is the last step in a total build project. Unfortunately 

this often means landscaping can bear the brunt of any building budgetary 

blow outs. It is vital to ensure the landscaping budget compliments the 

investment expended on the architecture of the home so the efforts 

on your home aren’t degraded by bargain landscaping thrown in as an 

afterthought. 

As a rule of thumb, expending 10% of the value of your property on 

landscaping will provide the very minimum - basic plantings, a lawn with 

batten edging- and probably no hardscaping or structures. 15% of the 

value of your property is a middle ground budget- whereas spending 20% 

of the value of your property will result in high end quality landscaping 

which will compliment and accentuate your home and maximise your 

outdoor living potential. 

• Quality landscaping has been shown to greatly increase the sale price 

obtained when selling a property- particularly if you have used a reputable 

landscaper. 

• Landscape architects fully comprehend the process and legal 

requirements of consents and building permits necessary for your project 

and can manage this smoothly. 

• Landscape architects bring site specific knowledge to your project to 

manage tricky issues such as sloping sites, streams and access. It is vital to 

have in depth knowledge of planting seasons- otherwise expensive plants 

and shrubs can wither due to the wrong season or soil conditions. 

• The less obvious components of your project, such as site clearance, 

earthworks, drainage irrigation and retaining can all be expensive, a 

landscape architect will provide cost value for this work as part of the 

project. 

• Hardscaping and the addition of outdoor rooms can create the potential 

to increase the size of your house. 

• Landscaping is so much more than plants and lawns: fences, entrances, 

pools, outdoor fires and kitchens and water features are just some of the 

exciting landscaping features which can add significant value. 

• Landscaping can change the shape of your section- Sloped sections can be 

flattened, flat sections can be transformed to include rolling mounds. 

It is important to verbalise a budget at project commencement, otherwise 

landscaping could proceed without budgetary parameters. Goom 

Landscapes provides a concept design and a feasibility study including cost 

estimates so you proceed fully cognisant of costs- however our unique 

process enables adaptation of design and budget continuously throughout 

the project until you are entirely satisfied.

• What is your exterior style? What kind of 

homes do you like? Look around and take a 

mental note of what you are drawn to most. 

• What kind of exterior materials do you like? 

Once you’ve worked out the look you like, 

research what materials are available and 

find out about their durability. 

• How will you use your house? 

It’s important to most people to have 

good indoor/outdoor flow and attractive, 

sheltered outdoor living. Imagine your 

home in various seasons. 

• Landscaping is important. Look around and 

consider what you like and don’t like. Are 

you a structured formal garden type or do 

you like a contemporary native style? 

• Sustainability and future-proofing aren’t just 

buzzwords anymore. It’s very important 

for your new home to be environmentally 

friendly. Research insulation requirements, 

solar hot water heating, ventilation options 

and new technology to ensure your home 

will be affordable to run. 

• Interior décor is really exciting. This is 

where show homes can really help you get 

to know current trends, colours, beautiful 

furnishings and furniture. Collect home 

magazines and figure out what you'd love to 

emulate. 

• Also pause to give thought to architectural 

components inside. 

Do you like a raised ceiling? What kind of 

finishing do top homes use and which styles 

are you are drawn to? 

• Heating is also a consideration. Have a look 

at what show homes are offering. 

• Kitchens form the heart of the house. Show 

homes give you insight into the latest styles, 

materials and storage facilities available. 

• Bathrooms are another big component. 

They need to be as luxurious as you can 

make them, so start dreaming...

OuR City Centre 

Taking a positive look at what progress is happening in 

our city centre. 

FuTuRe CHRiSTCHuRCH 

WORdS viCToria TaiT 

The city centre gets its fair share of bad press due to what feels like a 

snail’s pace of construction. it is easy to feel disappointed and miss the 

development and ingenuity that is shaping our city centre. The reality 

is the engineering innovations are so complex that a lot is happening 

behind the scenes. The purpose of this column each month is to shine a 

light on an area of Christchurch and look at what we are achieving and 

how great our city will become. 

How Far we 

Have Come 


THe anZ CenTre 

Previously the site of the Triangle Centre, the new 

AnZ Centre is a sophisticated three-level structure 

diagonally opposite ballantynes. The ground-level 

area is available for shopping and hospitality, while 

commercial offices occupy the three large upper 

floors. The most striking feature is an atrium with a 

cascading glass roof. Tenants include AnZ, beca and 

– in a new concept store – Hallensteins and glassons. 

The AnZ Centre is due for completion by the end 

of February 2017, with an early opening of the retail 

tenancies for Christmas trading 2016.

February 2015: 884 

visitor numbers 

April 2011: 15,278 

February 2015: 

98,638 

About 760 cafés and 

restaurants are now 

open in Christchurch; 

nearly at pre-quake 

levels of 911 

(June 2010). 

Town Hall 

Warren & Mahoney 

Over the next few years, the Christchurch 

Town Hall in Kilmore Street is being brought 

back to life. Restoration is underway, with the 

initial strengthening of the structure by way of 

‘jet grouting’. This process will see 1000 large 

concrete piles injected eight metres into the 

ground using machines specifically imported 

from germany. With $127.5 million in the 

budget, the Town Hall is set to stand again in 

glory come 2018. 

THe ConvenTion CenTre 

One of our most exciting projects in the city centre, the 

Convention Centre Precinct will lift the look of Christchurch. 

linking the Square, new Central library, and the Performing Arts 

and Te Papa Ōtākaro/Avon River precincts, the centre itself will 

provide world-class meeting and convention spaces, supported by a 

mix of hospitality, retail, office, parking and accommodation spaces. 

The leading international convention centre and hotel operator 

Accor has been selected as the preferred operator for this new 

and exciting facility.

HEART 

versus 

HEAD 

LYNETTE MCFADDEN 

BUSINESS OWNER, HARCOURTS GOLD 

AND WELL KNOWN BUSINESSWOMAN 

Emotional 

versus LOGICAL 

Purchases 

I’m often party to conversations that 

reaffirm the power of emotion when 

purchasing property and every day I’m 

reminded of the enormous significance 

emotion plays in the sales process. 

In fact, real estate marketing, sales 

and activity places constant emphasis 

on igniting an emotional response 

in purchasers. Warmth, smell, colour, 

presentation, street appeal and texture 

are all emotional elements that a sales 

consultant should consider when going to 

the market with any listing. 

We’re taught our words and photos (and 

now video too) should “sell the sizzle, not the 

sausage”, and I’m always a fan of highlighting 

benefits for consumers rather than blandly 

listing a set of facts or statistics. 

Sure, that property may have four bedrooms 

and two bathrooms, but nowadays most 

properties do, so encouraging a hot-button 

response takes more than a brief set of 

bullet points. I guess the flipside to this is 

rhetoric that’s so contrived or lofty it bears 

little relevance to the subject property and 

the reader of the advertisement is so bored 

they switch off. 

I’ve also found an emotional purchase 

doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but 

the purchaser – and sometimes it really 

doesn’t seem to make sense to anyone else! 

I’ve seen families buy properties that would 

have provided some real accommodation 

challenges. One purchase was triggered 

by one of the parties falling in love with the 

garden and envisaging family weddings 

taking place (albeit in 20 plus years) and 

nothing could shift her from that purchase. 

Logic had no place in this deeply emotional 

buy, much as it had no place in the purchase 

of a property by two frail and ageing clients 

who decided on a home with multiple 

flights of narrow stairs, but a view you 

could only dream of. On the face of it, it 

didn’t make sense, but who am I or any of us 

to judge? 

So it’s fair to say emotion will always play a 

part in the world of real estate, but the other 

big player is its nemesis, logic. 

Investors are very rarely emotional. They 

require a strong analytic framework to 

determine whether a property stacks up, if 

returns are viable and if a profit can 

be made. 

Emotional purchasers who look for an 

investment property hoping for a great 

future gain can often be disappointed when 

the amount of money they put into fixing 

it up or on chattels to furnish it eats up any 

future profit. It doesn’t make sense to buy 

the most expensive and beautiful curtains 

only to find a new purchaser cares little for 

your taste or your ‘need’ to get back every 

cent you spent on them. It seems like 

common sense, but emotion and logic can 

collide like that. 

Great realtors are often great 

communicators that can assist a logical 

analytical purchaser brilliantly but also guide 

an emotional buyer in their choices. 

I’m always deeply emotional about buying 

a family home and tough on potential 

investment purchases. I guess you could say 

there’s room for a foot in both camps and a 

world of choice. Make good ones! 

In the meantime, keep warm and enjoy 

your home.

Drawing in the 

Countryside 

Anne Hudson explores how artist Kate 

Calder expresses the beauty of the country. 

Kate Calder delights us with detailed 

drawings inspired by the beautiful 

countryside in which she lives. Be it a 

bird’s nest filled with eggs, a hare, a bee 

or dragonfly, her drawings are exquisite. 

Through detailed observation of her subject 

and careful composition Calder produces 

outstanding work. 

She does not come from an art school 

background, but has studied under New 

Zealand artist Ben Woolcombe, and has 

spent time refining her own technique. 

Painting since high school, it was the fouryear 

sojourn in the Mackenzie Country 

– with its unique colour and the grandeur 

of the landscape – that markedly influenced 

her work. 

Often we ask or proclaim that anyone 

can learn to draw. Is it not a skill acquired 

with practice? To some extent this may be 

true. Certainly those with a trained eye and 

a knowledge of perspective can produce 

very accurate renditions, but is it art? There 

is plenty of debate on the source of talent, 

from DNA, 10,000 hours of practice, to 

reincarnation. 

I think Calder comes from the school 

of natural talent. No doubt her upbringing, 

love of drawing and the hours she has 

applied herself to her craft have helped, but 

her work has a freshness and authenticity 

that a natural response to the subject can 

only be the source. There is artistic licence 

in her work and her own interpretation of 

the object. 

She lives in the countryside, works in the 

countryside and is a keen observer of her 

surroundings. Calder uses the environment 

and her drawing to give us a glimpse of 

her life; she invites us to see things as she 

does. The hare, bee and dragonfly all have 

a special place in the environment fulfilling 

their own important role alongside us. 

Calder now lives outside Waikari with 

her husband and three children. She 

maintained her interest in art while running 

a busy café-cum-gallery but had little time 

to paint then. Now she enjoys farming 

and painting on a regular basis. She has 

exhibited at the Merivale Fine Arts, the 

Augustine Gallery and Art In A Garden, as 

well as at other private exhibitions. 

Calder is one of many countrywomen 

who, despite the hard work and sometimes 

isolation of their lifestyle, has found an 

added income and an added vocation, 

providing a source from which to enrich 

their own lives and that of their famil. 

Her work would adorn any home, of any 

style, with confidence.

Mittens – Better than gloves for smaller children, and much 

harder to lose if you fix them to the ski jacket. 

Goggles – Those with a high UV protection level are best 

for children. 

Thermals – Layers make it easier to cool down littlies when 

they start getting too warm. 

Ski Jacket and Ski Pants – Choose a jacket to fit the conditions. 

A massive puffer will be too hot once you children get active. 

Littlies are best in an all-in-one number to avoid snow getting 

trapped in between layers. 

Helmets – Absolutely essential, and compulsory for under-16s. 

Suncream – SPF 50 is worthwhile. 

Snow Boots – Important for little ones who will be running 

about playing. Look for a pair with really good grip. 

Tracker App – Keep an eye on the little ones with an app, 

such as Find My Kids or Family Tracker. 

Snack Box – Remember, skiing will burn lots of energy, so 

keep high-protein snacks (and lots of them) available. Don’t 

forget a water bottle as it’s a long walk to the café.

Simple Ways 

To Stress Less 

Do you want to feel more relaxed but 

struggle to see how you can create balance 

in your busy life? Annabelle Matson gives 

us five simple tips to de-stress our lives. 

For many people, busyness and stress is a daily 

experience. We feel hurried, distracted and weighed 

down by the obligations and responsibilities of our 

lives. When we don’t have enough balance, our lives 

can feel miserable and lack joy and substance. Days 

and weeks can go by without us ever stopping to 

take a breath. It can make us feel disconnected from 

life, disconnected from ourselves and others around 

us. True health and wellness comes from not only 

eating well, but also reducing stress and finding a 

sense of balance and harmony as often as possible. 

No matter how busy you are it’s possible to create a 

well-balanced life. Try these five simple strategies to 

get started.

STYLE | wellbeing 51 

1. Create a Morning 

routine 

take 30 minutes every 

morning to ensure you are 

set up physically, mentally and 

emotionally for a really great day 

ahead. When you first get up, 

physically engage your body by 

doing a short yoga routine, or 

20-30 minutes of exercise. or try 

centring yourself with 10 minutes 

of stillness or meditation. When 

you create a small morning 

routine for yourself, you will find 

you are so much better able to 

handle the challenges that come 

your way throughout the day 

than if you started the day in 

a panic. 

2. Breathe 

When we’re stressed, our 

breathing becomes chesty, 

which signals to the body we’re 

in danger. Become mindful of 

your breathing. intentionally 

stop throughout the day and 

take some deep, diaphragmatic 

breaths. this is an effective way 

to let your body know you’re 

safe. if you can, take 10 minutes 

to sit or lie on your back and 

count your breaths, letting go of 

any thoughts that come in and 

out of your mind. 

3. Meditate 

through meditation you find a 

sense of inner peace and calm 

and it’s the quickest way to 

establish more balance in your life. 

Find a practice that works for you. 

4. Learn to say no 

We carry around this unhealthy 

belief that putting ourselves first 

is wrong and selfish. But when 

we do things out of obligation or 

because we feel we “have to”, 

we approach these things with 

a sense of resentment and they 

create an unnecessary level of 

stress in our lives. 

When faced with a social 

engagement or request, consider 

whether this is something that 

will light you up or bring you 

down and whether you have the 

physical or mental energy to be 

able to commit to it. When you 

learn to filter things this way, you 

rid yourself of resentment and 

obligation and, in turn, bring the 

best version of you to activities, 

social occasions, work and your 

relationships with loved ones. 

5. take aCtion 

instead of feeling helpless 

and paralysed by a state of 

overwhelming pressure, take 

control by choosing one action 

that will move you forward. you 

don’t need to see the end point, 

just take a small step to create 

a sense of momentum. this 

can make a huge difference to 

how you perceive a situation or 

circumstance and the momentum 

instantly pulls you forward.

VANuATu TOuRISM BOARD 


Yu Blong in Vanuatu 

Wendy Dunlop takes us on a virtual tour of these majestic islands. 


Imagine an archipelago dotted with golden sands, lush jungle, 

active volcanoes and ancient cultures. If this sounds like your 

perfect winter hideaway, in the words of the locals, “Yu blong 

in Vanuatu!” 

Just three hours from New Zealand, Port Vila is the hub of 

Vanuatu and located on the main island of Efate. Visitors will find 

agreeable resorts around the sparkling Erakor Lagoon or northern 

coast, with facilities focused on relaxation in a tropical climate. 

Choose a room, suite or bungalow with all-inclusive resort 

amenities and activities that allow you to be as active or as leisurely 

as you wish. Enjoy the independence of a self-catering apartment 

or resort, or relax in private paradise at the luxurious Havannah 

Resort, which hosts a maximum of 34 guests at any one time. 

Sightseeing on Efate includes Port Vila’s colourful history, 

markets and shops, as well as an insight into traditional village life 

at the Custom Village or at the Botanic Gardens. At the stunning 

Cascade Falls, walkers are rewarded with wonderful waterfalls and 

rock pools for a cool, freshwater swim. 

For a delightful day out, take the tour or ferry to the marine 

reserve of Hideaway Island. As well as an excellent restaurant and 

beach bar, guests and day trippers can hire snorkelling and diving 

equipment to make the most of the spectacular marine life. 

There are few more appealing sights than a lovingly restored 

wooden ketch under sail on a brilliant blue lagoon. A day aboard 

the Coongoola will transport you to some of Efate’s finest diving 

and snorkelling sites, introduce you to a turtle farm and provide 

you with a superb barbecue lunch on Tranquility Island. For a 

back-to-nature experience, you can enjoy a romantic stay here 

beneath thatched fales with the waves lapping nearby. 

Beyond Port Vila, the many outer islands allow visitors to 

appreciate the distinctive geographic and cultural entities that 

make up the 83 volcanic islands of Vanuatu. The islands of Espiritu 

Santo, Tanna and Pentecost are the best known and are accessible 

by Air Vanuatu services for day trips or longer. There are some 

wild adventures to be had there, too! 

Known as the “Sleeping Giant”, the island of Espiritu Santo is 

a diver’s Mecca. Within clear waters, along stunning reefs, view 

wrecks from World War II, when 100,000 American troops were 

based here. Explore Million Dollar Point and SS President Coolidge, 

which sunk in 1942. 

Take a day trek into Santo’s interior via a 30-metre bamboo 

ladder lashed with vines that descends to a canopy of green. 

Discovery Millenium Cave – open-mouthed in a 15-metre yawn 

through which a dark, eerie tunnel extends almost a kilometre 

until you emerge into dazzling sunlight beside the Vantar River. 

Sheer walls are sculpted into magnificent shapes and waterfalls 

plummet spectacularly as you float along the freshwater canal. 

Pentecost is famous for its land diving ceremonies – forget 

elastic, this is the original bungy using vines and a less-thanscientifically-calculated 

tower from which to launch! It’s not for 

tourists, however, and you only get to watch this cultural rite of 

passage into male adulthood. 

On Tanna, Vanuatu’s “Island of Fire”, peer into Yasur’s molten 

heart and feel a deep rumble shudder from its depths. At night, 

be riveted by its sound and light show as embers fall around like 

glow-in-the dark confetti. Nearby, Tanna’s villagers shun modern 

comforts to live traditionally in simple palm woven huts. 

With more than 115 cultures and languages throughout its 

islands, a diverse range of activities on offer and top resorts, 

Vanuatu can easily become your personal paradise.

in a pot heat the chicken stock and infuse with the saffron. 

Bring a large frying, sauté or paella pan up to heat, 

add the oil to the pan and quickly add the sliced chorizo 

and pancetta or bacon and fry until browned and crispy. 

Quality chorizo will always drop a red oil into the pan 

when cooked – this is a good thing as it is the combination 

of paprika and pork fat that has rendered out of the 

chorizo and adds flavour to the overall dish. add the onion 

and garlic and cook until soft. 

add the smoked paprika, rice and two-thirds of the 

infused stock, leave to cook on a medium to low heat, 

stirring from time to time. 

after 20 minutes the rice should be almost cooked. 

at this point, pour in the rest of the stock, and add the 

tomatos and mussels. place a lid on the pan and cook for 

10 minutes more. 

Finally, sprinkle with chopped parsley and half a lemon. 

chef’S noteS: 

Paella rice 

predominantly a shortgrain 

rice is used for 

this dish, but most food 

markets sell a paella 

rice. however, Valencia 

rice or Calasparra rice 

are considered the best 

options.

Situated within the newly refurbished Woolston Club

looking to stave off the cold with a hearty meal. On the 

brisk winter’s evening when I visited, I was tempted by the 

vegetable risotto, which was creamy and flavourful thanks to 

its key ingredient: roasted pumpkin. 

As you’d expect from an establishment with no less 

than five bars on the premises, Whitford’s has an extensive 

selection of drinks both by the glass and by the bottle, in 

addition to beer on tap. Operating under a club licence 

means the prices are friendly on the wallet, however, you 

will have to be a club member (or guest) to enjoy those 

benefits. Signing up is straightforward and can be done on the 

spot, and having reciprocity with all other clubs in the city, 

membership is extremely handy. 

Since renovations were completed last year, Whitford’s 

strives to impress with its superb range of culinary offerings, 

both sweet and savoury. The seasonal menus are tailored 

to the elements, with heartier dishes served in the colder 

months. 

We couldn’t get enough of the delicious black plum 

and white chocolate steamed pudding, which our waiter 

mentioned is the most popular dessert on the menu. I found 

myself devouring every last crumb from the cappuccino mug 

in which it was served. 

If you’re looking to combat the cabin fever that comes 

with the long cold nights over the coming months, Whitford’s 

promises to deliver all that is needed for an exceptional 

evening out with good company.

SenSationaL SUV 

Ross Kiddie looks over the popular Lexus RX350. 

Don’t be at all surprised if an SUV is the 2016 top-selling vehicle 

amidst the comprehensive Lexus line-up. Lexus New Zealand is 

anticipating that result as the company actively cashes in on the 

popular sport utility market. 

Not counting the Land Cruiser-based LX, there are two SUV 

models in the Lexus range, the NX and RX. Both would be 

considered genuine five-seater models; however, the RX is the bigger 

of the two and it is a full-size wagon at almost 4.9m, and sitting tall at 

almost 1.7m. 

And within the RX range there are many choices – mostly in 

specification, but you can also opt for hybrid power if you so wish. 

For 2016 the RX is completely new. It is fresh both inside and out, 

and incorporates a host of new technologies especially for safety. 

As its nomenclature suggests, the RX350 has a 3.5-litre V6 

petrol-fuelled engine. It is a powerful unit at 221kW and 370Nm 

and it drives through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Even 

though it is an engine that has been used widely throughout a raft of 

Toyota (and Lexus) product, it has had a power boost in RX form; 

consequently, it stands out for its strength and performance, along 

with respectable fuel-usage statistics. 

Lexus claims a 9.6-litre per 100km (29mpg) combined cycle 

average. I had two long, open-road drives in the evaluation car and 

I found that figure easy to replicate with a 10.2-litre (27mpg) figure 

showing on the fuel usage readout. At 100km/h, 7.5l/100km (38mpg) 

is possible with the engine turning over at just 1600rpm. 

And that is the secret to this big V6. It works tirelessly low down, 

hauling in quick shifts before the revs rise unnecessarily high. That is 

the beauty of the V6 engine, it has good torque flow yet whisks to 

high revolutions freely if required – when overtaking for example. 

The RX has an economy/normal/sport selector so that the driver 

can dictate how the engine works depending on preference. I used 

normal mode mostly, but did try the sport setting, which is great for 

providing overtaking opportunities. The RX will lunge from 80km/h 

to 120km/h in around 4sec, along with a standstill to 100km/h time 

of 7.8sec. 

All of the time the engine works without sound intrusion, even

when it is hauling in towards the 6300rpm red line. I guess you’d 

expect that in a prestige/luxury car, and it doesn’t disappoint. 

And the sophistication within the driveline doesn’t stop there. 

The RX has a complex, fully independent suspension system, and 

it carries drive to all four wheels. even though it has a generous 

200mm of ground clearance, the RX can’t be considered an offroader 

– put simply luxury sUVs aren’t aimed for those conditions – 

but the four-wheel-drive system is there for when grip is challenged. 

I never ventured off the sealed surface, but I can also report that 

four-wheel-drive, in the RX’s case, is there to enhance its position on 

the seal, promoting a secure handling feel when pushed into a corner. 

While the RX has performance that sits well in the sport sUV 

sector its primary role is to transport its occupants in the Lexus style 

of luxury and grace. It is a full five-seater with full leather trim, sat 

nav, heated and cooled seats, and most of the functions you would 

need every day as a premium car buyer. 

The evaluation car was entry-level, but it certainly doesn’t miss 

out on much. sure, it doesn’t get all of the trick stuff of its high 

specification stablemates, but then again it doesn’t need to in order 

to provide a satisfying driving experience. 

I’ve written many times recently that cars without the full kit are 

far more appealing to me, but I felt right at home in the RX350 in 

this form. It still gets the specification to justify its $95,900 price tag. 

Incidentally, the V6-only range tops out at $107,900, while the V6/ 

hybrid models list from $114,900 to $125,900. 

I’m often asked what car I would buy if I had easy access to 

money. I never really commit myself to answer that question as 

there is just so much to choose from in the market place that I 

like. however, I often answer by saying I like Lexus product, simply 

because the range is beautifully built, easy to drive, and so vast there 

is something for all buyer profiles. I’d love to have a drive in the 

450h, its V6/hybrid combination sounds tantalising. 

That aside, the RX350 has done nothing to change my opinion of 

the brand. It is an involving drive yet a vehicle that equips itself well 

in so many ways.

MoËt PArty DAy 2016 

The report as corks left at speed, the muzzles of champagne 

bottles, landed on the ear like a pleasant fusillade. These were 

the opening shots, which would be heard around the world, 

of the start of Moët Party Day and armies of bubbles made 

ready to invade the palates of global wine lovers. Deploying 

from their stemmed and fluted glass landing craft, these forces 

quickly established beachheads on the lips of party goers, each 

sip and swallow bringing them closer to victory. The real victors 

were, of course, those in attendance enjoying the excellent drink 

on offer and who could resist such liquid treasure as Moët?

Whispers of approval and appreciation left the 

lips of guests, as they filed past walls laden with 

the fruits of creativity. Not to be outshone, an 

assortment of food-laden platters demanded the 

attention of the palate, as the works did the eye. 

A buzz of excitement generated filled the air in 

anticipation of the awards yet to come, that, though, 

is a story for another time.

The Mother of all Virtues: Gratitude 

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a 

present and not giving it” – William Arthur Ward 

Over the last two months, I have been 

graced with gratitude in all senses of the 

word, from a vibrant palette of colleagues, 

friends and professionals. 

Since I was a young child, I have always 

been a true believer in the importance of 

taking the time to thank others for kind and 

thoughtful gestures made, returning that 

wonderful warm light, which filled you with 

joy you expressed through a genuinely 

happy smile. 

In my eyes, any moment someone takes 

time out of their precious day to stop and 

acknowledge you is simply priceless. After 

all, time is the most valuable commodity 

we have. 

When we encounter challenges and 

problems in our lives, it is often difficult for 

us to focus on our blessings. However, if we 

reach deep enough and look hard enough, 

we will be able to feel and recognise just 

how much we have. 

So, how do we bring gratitude into 

everyday living? There are a lot of books and 

websites out there; people have built small 

empires on spreading the word of gratitude. 

Social media is immersed in positive quotes 

for the day and quick-fix information pieces 

to instruct and inspire. From me to you, I’m 

going to keep it simple. 

Gratitude attitude: start on a Monday and 

finish on Friday. Buy yourself a little notebook. 

Paper – old fashioned? In this case, no! Have 

a page for each day. Divide each page into 

thirds. Label the first ‘Morning’, the second 

‘Afternoon’, and the last ‘Done’. 

How will it work? Make at least one entry 

under ‘Morning’ and ‘Afternoon’ with what 

you are grateful for and, under ‘Done’, state 

who you have shown gratefulness to and 

why. Here is an example: ‘Morning’ – I am so 

grateful for my morning drives to work from 

the country, listening to my favourite music 

and daydreaming of the future; Afternoon – I 

am so blessed I have a partner who takes 

time out of his busy day to text, “I love you 

x”. Done – Jane Seymour always waters my 

plants without me asking. Today, I bought her 

spring flowers to show my appreciation. She 

was overwhelmed. 

The entries need not be an essay, just 

simply a recording of the emotion or action. 

At the end of the week, look back through 

and absorb that feeling you have while 

reading. The sense of gratitude with, possibly, 

your new-found attitude. 

My sincere, heartfelt wish is that we may, 

in our individual lives, reflect that beautiful 

virtue of gratitude, so that it may fill our lives 

and those we love and cherish. If you think 

it, say it! 

Love Andrea x
