We distribute to all RVA member villages and an additional 5,000 people currently on waiting lists, those who have yet to make a decision on their next steps.

Based on feedback from residents and managers, we have developed a village directory; for only $600 you can place a quarter page to promote options you have on offer.

Advertising in Best of Times provides extra credibility to operators and by us restricting the advert size to quarter page blocks, it puts all providers on an even playing field.

(You can buy additional quarter page spots, so long as you are advertising a different residence.)

Try it once for an introductory price of $600 per quarter page + GST in Spring (August) and Summer (November) editions.

The price rises to $950 in March, or book now for six editions and get one free and buy at the introductory offer price.

Placing an ad in the directory is easy as 1, 2, 3.

Get in touch with me to book; [email protected] or 04 915 9786.1.

I will email back a proof for you to sign off.3.

Summerset Karaka is a site yet to be developed. Karaka is 35 minutes south west of Auckland CBD and is famous for its thoroughbred horses. We are part of a local comprehensive

development plan that will see a significant area including our site being completely redeveloped from rural to residential

(including services) beginning already. Karaka is surrounded by beautiful beaches and rolling pastureland. With its

magnificent thoroughbred sales complex, internationally renowned stud farms and country lifestyle, Karaka is already

well-established as one of the most attractive parts of Franklin County. In every respect it’s a world away from Auckland, yet within fast and easy reach by motorway.
