We installed two Segway Navimow units at a magnificent house that was being judged the very next day for the Registered Master Builders 2024 House of the Year award.

Guess what?

Not only did it win Supreme House of the Year (Central North Island) it also won 6 individual categories: Craftsmanship Award, the New Home over $4 million category, the Bathroom Excellence Award, the Kitchen Excellence Award, the Outdoor Living Excellence Award, and a Gold Award.

The home is called Te Mania in Hawkes Bay, nestled under stunning views of Te Mata Peak.

NZ Herald has further coverage and photos here. The article notes how the house has a certain Thunderbirds aspect to its design, so it is entirely in keeping with that for there to be robotic lawnmowers taking care of the lawns. Navimows Are Go!

There is one Navimow tending the lawns at the main house and another over at the associated bedroom complex called "The Bunker" — built right into the hillside across the other side of a small man-made lake. The Bunker has two bedrooms, living area and spa pool.

Installation was easy, with stone outdoor areas meeting flush with beautifully grassed lawns.

Navimow's accurate RTK and VisionFence AI-assisted camera work together to ensure there is never a risk of a mower of driving off the edge and ending up in the lake!

The views are absolutely stunning in every direction.

Navimow has decided he/she/they never wants to leave this place!
