The weather couldn’t have been better, and the drive experience exceeded all expectations. Mother Nature, Ebbett Prestige Tauranga, Sisters & Co., and On The Point truly delivered an unforgettable experience, perfectly capturing the refined and fashion-forward tastes of the sophisticated attendees.

Together Journal editor and founder Greta Kenyon (pictured above) was there to experience and report on it all. One of the standout moments for our editor, Greta, was experiencing the impressive performance of the hybrid Range Rover models.

“As a fan of sustainable technology, I was genuinely impressed by the hybrid’s competitive performance. It effortlessly proved that eco-conscious innovation doesn’t come at the expense of power or driving experience. It was also wonderful to attend a luxury car event targeted at and celebrating women” – Greta Kenyon – Founder + Editor at Together Journal

However, for those who prefer a more traditional drive, classic diesel and petrol V8 Range Rovers are still readily available across the range. It’s this versatility that makes Range Rover a true leader in blending luxury, innovation, and performance for every driver’s preference.

Experiencing On The Point estate in person, especially on such a pristine day, was a true delight.
