Around the motu: Chris Hyde in Napier

From Nine To Noon, 10:45 am on 8 November 2023

It's called simply the One Stop Kai Shop Convenience Store, but for the 250 people of Raupunga and passers-through it is the first store in a decade in the State Highway 2 town which is 82km from Napier with 35km from Wairoa. Chris says he's heard the hangi and paua pies are a huge hit. Also Chris talks to Kathryn about the people building makeshift driftwood huts on the beach off Marine Parade in Napier. And a 40 year labour of love, John Timpson's incredible Havelock North garden is now being open to the public.
