Welcome to Bulls
Welcome to Bulls. The quintessential small New Zealand town with a long history and a great community feel. It's true - approximately 14,000 cars pass through Bulls every day, and those who stop find a wonderful selection of shops, cafés and eateries.
For the outdoors type, the beautiful Rangitikiei River offers great walks and riding. Maybe take the drive down to the sea at nearby Scott's Ferry or pull over and take in the sights and sounds of Ohakea Air Base; an important part of the Bulls community, bringing a real vibrancy and attracting aviation buffs from around the globe!
Bulls was named after James Bull, a carpenter from Chelsea, who arrived in 1857. Bulls became a township in 1873. The rest is history.
A testament to the popularity of the town is the fact that a new retail development is under construction, incorporating a large supermarket and new service station.

The Best retirement villages Palmerston North |Palmerston North retirement villages |4410|4412|4414
Tips at on selecting a retirement village in Palmerston North 40.3550° S, 175.6117° E.
Start off by making a list of things you would want in an ideal retirement village in Palmerston North. Do not forget to include activities and amenities such as a swimming pool, a library, a hairdresser, health services, restaurants, organised activities and trips.
Different villages will offer different services and facilities so make note of what services are offered by different villages as it can get very confusing. Also look to the future and what you may need and the proximity of family and friends. Visit as many of the retirement villages in Palmerston North as you can to see what they offer. If there is limited choice nearby, go further afield to get to know what differences are offered as well as the feel of the place.
The Retirement Villages Act 2003 requires all retirement villages in New Zealand to be registered. It also defines retirement villages according to their size. Small villages have no more than 34 residential units, while medium-sized villages have at least 35 but no more than 84 residential units. A large retirement village has a minimum of 85 residential units.
.
Some villages are spread over multiple sites with small groups of houses with a central communal venue for events. If you are considering this type of village, keep in mind that there may be transport issues if not now but in the future. Check to see if the village operators provide bus or transport services.
Make time to talk to the existing residents especially during open days that are held. Check out the types of accommodation on offer, talk with existing residents and view their property comparing it to others you have seen. Converse and ask them their likes and dislikes of the village. There may be quieter areas and warmer spots that are out of the prevailing wind. The more questions that you are able to ask will result in more opinions and critical information on what to avoid as much as what to look for.
A lot of retirement villages have rest homes and access to hospitals onsite or nearby. Find out if you are able to access or move into the rest home or hospital at a later stage if your health requires it. If there is no medical assistance on site find out how far away it is and what is involved for you to get it. Find out the costs of these medical services before you are committed to it. Home help may be an attractive feature for you but again check out the costs. Look and find how accessible the village units are to mobility and disability needs if you require them in the future.
Collect and read all of the information they supply. You should be given a disclosure statement, an occupation right agreement as well as a Code of Residents Rights. Retirement villages in Palmerston North should have a statutory supervisor whose job is to oversee the running of the village and you should find out who this is and meet them.
Beware of unknown costs to signing up and living in a retirement village in Palmerston North. There is often a joining fee before you move in, as well as ongoing fees for the services and facilities. You need to check how much of these fees include the gas, electricity and telephone bills if at all. You may be able to pay for these charges automatically by direct debit on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.
There are usually costs associated with leaving the village and you will need to understand these fees which should be fully described in the disclosure statement. Get someone to explain it to you as well as asking the existing residents opinions.
Make sure to get financial advice and get your adviser to compare costs for you. Check with them that you can afford the ongoing fees and consider whether you want to leave a financial legacy and if this is still affordable if you move into a village. Determine how much you need to have set aside if you decide to leave the village.
.
Some residents of retirement villages do qualify for an accommodation supplement through WINZ and also qualify for a rates rebate from the local authority, so get them to enquire if you are eligible for benefits.
Your lawyer is required to ensure you fully understand the terms and conditions of the contract before you sign. Take someone with you to help you to understand the details and ask any questions. Ensure that any changes or adjustments to any clauses are recorded in writing
Before you make any decision talk to your family and your friends about your plans. They and the executors of your will need to know your intentions and how it will affect them as well as you. Above all make sure that you are happy with your choice of retirement villages in Palmerston North and that you talk to your family about your decision.

Lovely Lexan! Very Nice OTIS Lexan Hydraulic Lift/Elevator @ Silvester Clark, Palmerston North, NZ
Lovely Lexan! This is the Very Nice OTIS Lexan Hydraulic Lift/Elevator at the Silvester Clark building in Palmerston North, New Zealand. This building has been refurbished but the lift remains original which is nice. I love the bells and the nice Lexan buttons. Note the fail at 0:20 - Wood has been added around the lift doors on the ground floor and the security camera has been kept in the same place so now its view is being blocked by the wood! (maybe it's a motion sensor and not a camera?) Not much else to say about this lift really.

Interesting Door Sensors! Schindler M Traction Lift/Elevator @ Palmerston North Library, PN, NZ
Interesting Door Sensors! This is the Schindler M-Series Traction Lift/Elevator at Palmerston North Library in Palmerston North, New Zealand. This lift was originally an Express and was modded in the 90's by Schindler. At the start we see a nice FIAM lift that is locked off sadly. I then walk into the library and get told by a member of staff that I can't really film. After I explain that I am just filming the lift and will not film people's faces, they then allow me to film!

7 Floor Hydraulic! OTIS 2000H Hydraulic Lift/Elevator @ Apartments, Queenstown, NZ
7 Floor Hydraulic! This is the OTIS 2000H Hydraulic Lift/Elevator at Apartments in Queenstown, New Zealand. Now this is the highest rising hydraulic lift I have found as hydraulic lifts aren't as common as places like America meaning one serving this many floors is rare here in NZ. I have no idea how I found this lift - I think the front door of the building had been left open. This would've been nicer if it was a Gen2 as this is a little slow and bumpy.

Hotel Blue Wave
The beach resort was a central figure during the first years of Greek tourism.
From the 1950s on it became the archetypal image of the greek holiday landscape which it dominated until the 1980s when pseudo-traditional structures took over. During those years Athens became a huge over-congested and over-stressed city, and the holiday ideal slowly shifted: The dream hotel got replaced by the deserted beach. Every summer, the highest praise bestowed on a beach is: There was nobody there.
The Hotel Blue Wave is an urban landscape dreaming of a deserted beach.
The building examines the possibility of a large scale structure based on the repetition of a single module. The module used for this purpose is a concrete slab that curves up to produce half a wave. When the module is mirrored 4 times, it creates a habitable cell. In the case of a larger repetition the effect is that of a lattice structure that provides enclosure, structure and circulation with a single piece, which functions as floor, stair and ceiling at the same time.
Based on the archetypal modernist resort Hotel Blue Wave is configured as a holiday destination in itself, a landscape for casual interaction. The programmatic characteristics of the modernist resort fade into one another because the is no longer divided in floors but diagonal spaces of constant movement.
The circulation to the rooms blends in with the public spaces making the hotel corridor a space for casual interaction, and filtering the public areas of the hotel towards the upper floors.
Hotel Blue Wave studies the possibility of architecture becoming the destination. The experience of walking inside the Hotel Blue Wave is compared to walking in a natural environment, a new topography, an abandoned building or a deserted beach.

Top 2000! Slow OTIS 2000H Hydraulic Lift/Elevator @ Top Town, New Plymouth, NZ
Top 2000! This is the Slow OTIS 2000H Hydraulic Lift/Elevator at Top Town in New Plymouth, New Zealand. This lift is fairly nice but the indicator wasn't working which was a shame. Notice how at the start I bump into Lift & Rail Photography In NZ who had just been filming this lift - This was totally unexpected and was such a coincidence as there are only a handful of lift enthusiasts in NZ and there is next to no chance that they would be filming the same lift at exactly the same time - I couldn't quite believe it at first! A nice lift overall but it doesn't run all too well.
