Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Freehold, renovated, future potential

Swechha from Mount Roskill

Hi everyone, we thought we’d share this here in case you, or someone you know, is looking for a lovely 2-bedroom freehold home in Blockhouse Bay. This has been our investment property for many years, and we’ve recently put a lot of care into preparing it for its next owners, including a brand-new kitchen, new flooring, and fresh paint inside and out. Set on a freehold section of around 560m², it offers a generous lawn, a new veggie garden, and future potential to add a cabin or sleepout. We truly hope it becomes a place where new memories are made.

For viewings, please contact Piyush and Manali Setia at Ray White Blockhouse Bay - 021 2363 854:
