Welcome to Linku2 Hibiscus Coast! A fresh and exciting service supporting the Coast. From our origins as Hibiscuslink from 2004 to 2010, we have become Linku2 Hibiscus Coast!

Hi, I am Sarah Carr, Director and founder of Linku2. My passion is my local community and supporting local business and the economic wellbeing of this region.

15 years ago my husband Mark and I chose Tindalls Bay on the Hibiscus Coast as the perfect place to live and raise our children. We love the place.

As a family we are immersed in all things local; my youngest children at 17 and 15 are actively involved with sports and school life. My eldest daughter is 20 at Auckland University and also works with me in the business and has been invaluable to the development of Linku2. You can see my mad family below!

I originally come from Jersey, Channel Islands but have been in New Zealand now for almost 25 years! Wow, how time flies!

I started Hibiscuslink when, returning from a stint overseas, I wanted to find good schools, facilities, activities for the kids but could not find a single good source of information. Because of this and my experiences with Hibiscuslink and small local business, Linku2 has developed to become a unique resource and marketing tool designed to help our local businesses and community grow and thrive working together.

Our research highlighted that local people want to shop local - why? Generally they trust local business more than big brands, they want to support local economy and often there is a better choice than the big Mall environment - if you just know where to look! Plus with the price of petrol and our time poor lifestyles shopping local is simply easier!

 Please enjoy using Linku2, I would love to hear from you with your thoughts and ideas, so feedback is always welcome and I look forward to meeting you around our beautiful shores. Thank you for supporting us to Go Local, Grow Local ...
