The Drawing Room - PTV #26


In the heart of our beautiful Tauranga is the The Drawing Room - a place of relaxation and warmth that represents the Mount in the best possible way ... through its fresh local food and wonderful service.
I love finding places that ooze creativity and this place does it not only with their food but with their atmosphere, eye for the different, and support for the local People. With menus positioned in old retro cookbooks (yes, like Alison Holst!), and art covering the front windows you really feel like you are in for an adventure, something special.
Amazing seafood and mouth watering meat dishes to keep you wanting more, this place is just perfect for a brilliant night out to taste some great contemporary food created by one of the best Kiwi chefs around - Trent Clarke.
Without breaking the bank you have a fantastic meal and leave with the urge to tell as many People as possible about your little find .. hence it is one of our Places To Visit.
So if you don't feel like your usual fish 'n chips or you are passing through and want a taste and feel of Tauranga, then make a booking and check these guys out ...

Diplodocus :: Design Store - PTV #24

Everyone has to start somewhere and for the Young Kiwis studying a Diploma in Art at the Windermere Campus in Tauranga, they have the perfect place to do just that.

The Diplodocus Design Store is a creative project developed and managed by the the students attending the course.  Here they are able to show off their paintings, jewllery and ceramic designs whilst learning.

What I love most, apart from helping out the students by buying their art, is the fact that whatever you buy will probably be a one and only original.  Their art can be anywhere from playful to elegant and consists of art not only painted on canvas, but other materials as well - some extreme creativity going on here!

If you are out and about that way, or even driving through, do go in and check them out.  A great little store and another example of Kiwi Creativity - Choice!
