With our Feature theme being "Time Out" everyone has a different idea of their own time out space. For some it may be spending time with friends and family, for others it could be heading to the gym or a yoga class, others it's getting out into nature, tending the garden, reading a book, knitting or it could be something as simple as having a long, soothing bath.
Whatever your way is of having time out there are lots of local options you can find to indulge. Just a few locals to keep in mind include gym, swim or excersie time out could be spent at Stanmore Bay Pool and Leisure Centre or Northern Arena. If you want time away from the little ones you could enrol them for a few weekly sessions at Fame Preschool and then take yourself to the gym, a lovely beach walk or head to the golf course. You may love fishing at the weekend with the kids!
If you would like to indulge yourself in a relaxing facial or look good with treatments such as brows, lashes or other beauty treatments check out Queens Beauty now in Stanmore Bay. Perhaps treat the family to a portrait session and create those special memories with Photo Carnival. If you're keen to get out in the garden and want to put time into your garden you may want to check out tools to make this an easier rather than arduous task with range of outdoor power tools from Peninsula Mowers and Heating, or if youd rather just head out for a coffee or drink with friends or dinner out with the family head to Destination Orewa where you'll find so many great cafes, restaurants, bars and of course our magnificent Orewa Beach!
