Finding a rental

Daniel from Aro Valley

Hi Neighbours
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this balmy Autumn. Our lovely flat has been living on Abel Smith St for the past 4 years and unfortunately the winds of change are coming, we've been informed of a possible sale by our landlord and may well have to find new accommodation. We are two couples and a single, looking for a 3 bedroom house in the sort of general vicinity of Aro/Northland/Kelburn (although we are very easy ultimately and cant be picky). We are all hardworking creative types, with many a project on the go. Ideally we'd like a place to make our own and fill with love. And a landlord who wants to feel like their property is in good hands and they are providing a real home environment to provide us with the energy and stability we all want so that we can pursue our art, music and writing. I am aware of the current rental climate and understand that its a long shot, but here I am, attempting to circumvent the negative feelings surrounding the property market to appeal directly to you. Ask and ye shall receive and I am asking. Neighbours, please, do us a solid, if you know of anyone at all or a house that might fit the bill then please let me know. If you felt like copying this post to reach beautiful Wellingtonians further afield, that would be greatly appreciated. We would love to remove the stress of finding a house from our life and carry on making Wellington a better place to live with our love and presence. My number is 0220800645 or danielwb14@gmail.com works too. Much Love from Daniel, Felix, Mattea, Ellen & Andrew

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.

Combining biking with bus travel

Sue from Brooklyn

Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
