Golflands and No.5 Cafe and Larder earned the Resilience award by rallying after Cyclone Gabrielle’s devastation. With a “Build Back Better” mindset, Johnny and Sarah led the team in supporting one another and prioritising restoration. They focused first on reopening the golf business, then enhancing customer experiences through a redesign. The team stayed together, tackling everything from cleanup to rebuilding. Golflands reintroduced its restaurant, business facilities, and sports areas to an even higher standard, adding new features like a pickleball court and a future marquee site. Now stronger than before, Golflands exemplifies resilience.
