This colonial-style, 4 bedroomed, rural house on 1.0513 Ha was listed for sale online in January 2014.

It was described:

• Driving up the road and seeing this home for the first time will make you appreciate the location and the ambiance this property provides.
• Views of the river and bush out one window and Tararuas out the other.
• Large home just waiting to share the spoils with a family who enjoys swimming, biking, and having room to move.
• 5 small paddocks to graze and a decent lawn to play or create more gardens.
• 1.0513ha

At the back of the job, the foot-bridge in the front part of the tar surface that was washed away.

A distant view of the slip

What is left of cages that were full of stones to stop this happening.

''Wow it looks so different" so the locals said,"Like we have been a way for a long time, not just New Year''.

The river shows the least damage (I think due to good planning restoring the shore and banks over the past few years ) only a big slip and a high area of fresh bank cuttings in places.

The road down to the river.

The new view as you drive to the river ( this whole bank stripped bare to give a nice river vista.)lane lost from the bank to the root in the river .....
