There’s nothing like a local’s knowledge when it comes to shopping, and Donna Fallon of Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel has written a personal shopping guide for guests of the hotel, which she’s graciously agreed to share.Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel is a 300 meter flat walk from the town centre, which is easy to walk around; pedestrians rule and shops are open seven days until late. So here are Donna’s excellent recommendations (with a few additions from the article’s author) for your own retail adventure experience. Please open the link below.

Good Recycling Story

The Good Water Project is now offering customers the opportunity to have their Good Water bottles fully recycled in New Zealand. The fact that a company which launched in 2007 has closed the recycling loop in such a short space of time is a testament to the innovation and drive behind the Good Water brand.

‘Good’ customer – Aachen House Boutique Hotel

This beautiful, boutique hotel in Remuera is another recent addition to the Good Water family. Due to hosts Joan and Greg’s commitment to the environment, every bottle of Good Water consumed at the hotel will be collected and transported to Astron Plastics where it will then be recycled. This service is available to all Good Water customers so if you want to learn more about how you can get your Good Water bottles recycled in NZ then please go to http://www.goodwater.org.nz/jojo/subscribe or email grant@goodwater.co.nz
