We
have been profiled in the Northern Advocate article about our efforts
to not only save power, but also generate our own electricity through
the installation of photovoltaic panels on our roof. These panels use sunlight
to create DC electricity that is converted to mains type AC power and
pumped back to the grid - creating savings on our power bill and providing a clean and sustainable way to generate electricity . Another great sustainable initiative from Ora Ora Resort!
"What’s said to be the biggest and arguably the most significant
public sculpture in New Zealand, has finally unveiled, after years of
controversy about its location in Kerikeri. The 11-metre work of
stacked boulders and bronze elements in five columns was designed by
Kerikeri sculptor Chris Booth 30 years ago. The internationally
acclaimed artist has long envisaged the work for his home town...."
"A Kerikeri business is about to step on the world's organic stage, and it's taking other local businesses along for the ride.
Ora Ora Eco Wellness Resort, on Landing Road, will feature as part of an American funded seven episode tour of New Zealand's gourmet organic delights.
Kiwi company Organic Explorer has been commissioned to organise the series, and Organic Living TV arrives in New Zealand on Sunday to start filming episodes for the show The Hippy Gourmet."
"...It's a great privilege and we're really excited" says Inge Mueller-Glodde, co-owner (and chef) with husband Rolfe."
Besides focusing on local food specialties in spectacular settings, half of the Hippy Gourmet's time is spent in highlighting local tourism experiences and businesses in the surrounding region."
