Apartment, fully furnished in Thorndon
We're leasing the spacious, fully furnished suite in our restored 1890 Thorndon home on St Mary Street. One bedroom, bathroom, large living room with French doors to the verandah sitting area. (See images) Heat, electricity and internet are included in the rent. Great harbour views and a swimming pool. Resident parking at the door.
This is a sunny warm apartment suitable for a single or a couple on Thorndon's finest cul de sac. Shops, restaurants, bars, specialty stores just a one minute walk away. Two minutes to the Botanic Gardens and Rose Garden, eight minutes through the park to Lambton Quay.
We have operated an occasional B&B in the suite for many years which explains the images being labeled Gardens Homestay.
An antique writing desk will replace the bed in the large living room.
Preference will be given to a weekday resident flying home on weekends, but we'll discuss a rental with anyone interested to view.

Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
