What a way to end the year for us! One of our wonderful clients - who happens to have her own massage business had me (Candice) over for a well needed massage - safe to say im in so much pain it’s just awesome! Healing hands by Erin Marshall is a must if you’re in Hahei! She is all set up in her home/air bnb built by the VdV team! It’s beautiful, a stones throw from the beach - and she is amazing! Every little niggle I have from lugging around our youngest daughter has been well rubbed down for 2020! What a way to end the year - I got to see inside one of our builds a year on, and got a massage 🤩🤩 not much more I could ask for! Here’s to 2021 🥂 #vdvbuilders #itsbeenabigyear #workrelatedtreats #inheaveninhahei #marshallhaven #healinghands #wehavethebestclients ... See MoreSee Less

This so going to be a long one ...... 🤷‍♀️ I would love to say that’s wrap team ... but we’ve still got a few days of work next week! 💪🏻 but for now .... Thank you all for all your hard work, for being so loyal and sticking by us through all the ups and downs of 2020! 🙏 2021 is already lining up to be a big one! 👊🏼A definitely highlight of 2020 was seeing our first apprentice become fully qualified - well done again T-Roll! ⭐️ Thanks to all the wives, girlfriends, and children, for putting up with the long hours, dirty clothing, tired men and making the best smokos! 🤜🏻 We appreciate you all, and we’re stoked we got to hang out with some of you tonight - for our fav family food - Special home made Vandy Burgers - beef for the patties from the Van de Ven Family farm ... hand made by Mum Van de Ven (me 😅) and even accompanied by the best relish made by great Oma Van de Ven! Definitely creating the family vibe we pride ourselves in! Ending 2020 with a bang - 🔫- literally! Thank you @funzonewhiti for having us 😀 Top team of blokes ... we look forward to working with you all again in 2021. 🤩(Thanks for the surprise guest appearance from our former youngest team member @cullensengineering - it’s not a VdV party without ya 😂💙) #vdvbuilders #vandevenbuilders #goodbye2020 #seeingitoutwithabang #topteam #bunchoflegends #builtbylocallads #nobusinesslikefamilybusiness #homegrowngoodness #vandevenstyle #ifyaaintdutchyaaintmuch #weekofthankyousandappreciation #bringiton2021 #funzonewhitianga #happyholidays #whitianga ...

Not a bad spot at all! 🤩 Farm and hillside views to one side, and those ocean views ... perfection! Neatly perched on the rise for a lookout - windows in, roof on - almost able to be locked up for the holidays!
