GETTING NEXT TO NATURE.

THE CHARM OF GOVERNOR’S BAY. j For generations past Christchurch ! visitors to Governor’s Bay have longed i to secure a small holding there with a \ view to erecting a week-end home. ] This has been denied them • until now. j when through the enterprise of the ' Zephyr Hills Estate, a limited number j of 19 sections is being thrown open for subdivision. The city dweller naturally longs to get away from the bricks and mortar and the clang of the ear bells. In Taylor’s Mistake many have burrowed like rabbits into the hillside in pursuance of this ideal, while others have secured holdings further afield in Diamond Harbour. But of the week-end resorts near Christchurch, none can offer the attractions possessed by Governor’s Bay, such as charming scenery with touches of natural bush, bathing, boating, fishing, and shooting, while gentle zephyrs, spice laden, warm, and health-giving, are wafted across the broad bosom" of the rolling ocean from the sun-kissed isles of the South Pacific, and come to rest in this lovely bay. Its accessibility, too. with the motorbus from RytteJton or little over one hour’s walk from the Hills car terminus renders it par-excellence, the ideal resort for the week-ender. The terms asked for Zephyr Hills lots are exceptionally easy, too, viz. : from £lO down and 2 per cent a month providing a money-saving investment that will pay better than average dividends. Sections vary from about 30 perches to about acres. Readers who are interested should secure a plan at once, by writing to Box A6B. Sole agent, Ronald S. Badger 187, Manchester Street.
