Welcome to our community!

We're the Greenhaus Community - a residential community in Newtown, Wellington. We used to live in a large house built in 1906, with lots of friends living near by. In February 2016, nearly all of us moved out of the big haus and we handed it over to our friends the INK Community. Now we live somewhere nearby in a multitude of different houses connected to one another.

We were first established some time around 1999 (check out our alumni list here). You can contact us at greenhausnz at gmail dot com.

Cook off!

In a semi-recent flat night adventure, we pitted two teams of cooking extraordinares, with limited ingredients, against each other. It was a recipe for mayhem!

The rules:

  • Use only the ingredients your team draws out of the hat, plus 3 bonus ingredients of your choice
  • Prepare your baking in 15mins
  • two of your teammates must stay behind the table at all times
  • You cannot use a recipe
  • You get more points for using all of your allocated ingredients
  • Make Malcolm (ed: hey nice, you spelt my name right!) happy by being quiet and cooking gluten free food.... :D

Team 1 making chocolate peanut butter muffins

Team 2 making Walnut and Feijoa cake (while hypnotising the opposition with a top-secret spooky striped shirt...)

Baking action in the kitchen - team 1 is about to whip up some magic!

Emma is trying to look like the innocent, impartial adjudicator but what you dont know is... 
I (malc) slipped her a twenty and Hubby Chris (from team 1) is attempting a not so subtle kiss up! ;)

Andre, from team 2, is mad that they lost...

And the pictures of the final product are...
not here.

Oops sorry, forgot to take those photos.

But the Feijoa cake was Yum (except for the eggyness (its a technical term))! Nom, nom.

P.S. This post took awhile but the important thing to note from this one and the last, is that we don't just do birthday's and farewells at the GH! :D
