Kia ora koutou!
Flatmate wanted to join myself in a lovely quiet 3-bed house in Beach Haven. 🌺
House is single-storey, back off the street, sunny. Two off-street parks to be shared between us (NB: it’s tandem parking). Plenty of on-street parking.
5-10mins walk to bus stops to the city. 5min drive to ferry to the city.
Place is unfurnished aside from a couch so fridge will be hired unless you can bring your own to share. 😊
Room is a double with a wardrobe (sorry only have the one photo) and we would both share the third room which will be a home office and meditation space. 🧘‍♀️
Small amount of outdoor space with a clothesline. (Won’t be getting a dryer for the house.)
About me: Mature working professional, work 4 days per week, mostly from the office or out and about. Work in the environmental industry, try to live sustainably (and healthily) and hobbies include meditation, dancing, gardening. 🪴 💃
About you: someone looking for a home, not just a room to hide in. 😋 Respectful, friendly, communicative and able to do their own dishes and laundry as well as sharing the chores. 😊
Ideally keen to sit and chat over a cup of tea on the weekend sometimes. ☕️
Cats negotiable, no dogs sorry. Ideally suits a single but couples can be discussed with the landlord. :)
Rent is $305 per week plus expenses (bills to be divided equally - electricity, broadband, appliance rental, water and then shared household stuff like toilet paper). Bond 4wks rent, one week rent in advance.
Available now. 🏡
