HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Be careful though as this summer is the hottest on record. It's also humid so hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
We have a water filter jug in operation all the time so we have fresh cool water anytime that you need it and boy do you need it in this weather.

When swimming this summer you must be careful of jellyfish, speed boats, jet skis, stingrays, sharks and orca. Yes orca as those kids at Waiheke discovered.
