Good result for Sol Best SPF 

I just wanted to reach out and sincerely thank everyone for helping spread the word about Sol Goods for the annual Viva awards.

We attended the awards event on Tuesday night and are incredibly proud to share that Sol was named Runner-Up for Best SPF!

This year, Viva also introduced a new category: the People’s Choice Award, where readers were invited to nominate any beauty brand, product, or founder they felt deserved recognition. We’re thrilled to announce that Sol Goods was also named Runner-Up for the People’s Choice Award.

We’re so grateful for the support of the community  in helping us achieve these results and spreading the word. 

Thank you for being part of the journey and for backing our brand.

Home school helps at bike park

The Coromandel Pensinsula Home School Group recently did tree planting at the wetlands at the bike park. 

We would like to thank the generous team at Mercury Bay Environmental Trust for their kind donation of 30 trees.

They googled the best spa

I have been so impressed and happy with The Lost Spring winning the Number 1 Spa of the World.

It’s so good!! 

I had Swedish guests book 2 weeks ago to stay at my Annabells B&B. When they arrived to stay with me I asked them what made them choose my B&B to stay in?

They said that they had googled the best spa in the North Island and found The Lost Springs and then found my Hosted B&B to stay in.

A big Thank you to The Lost Springs for putting Whitianga on the map!
