Lorna Thornber Reporter from Stuff Travel

We're looking into how some common claims about NZ stack up and would be interested in your thoughts on whether New Regent Street in Christchurch deserves its title of 'NZ's most beautiful street'. Do you think it is the best-looking street in the country? Or is … View more
Hi everyone,
We're looking into how some common claims about NZ stack up and would be interested in your thoughts on whether New Regent Street in Christchurch deserves its title of 'NZ's most beautiful street'. Do you think it is the best-looking street in the country? Or is there another street you think is more beautiful? Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it included in an article. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

We have a good sized, unfurnished double room to let. Located at Campbells Bay, a prestigious suburb and very close to one of the best beaches (300m) on the shore and next to Centennial Park, tennis club and golf course. Great walks everywhere.
The room is warm and very clean with lots of afternoon sun. Has a large double wardrobe and security lock on the window. It is part of a large separate flat located downstairs and has all it’s own facilities including cooking area and a log burner for heating. The area is shared with a professional couple in their mid twenties. Owners live upstairs with cat and friendly dog.
We are looking for someone who is clean, tidy, respectful of others and not broke. Bus stops, both ways, are located virtually at the door.
Rent is $290.00 per week, all inclusive, except a winter tariff of $10.00 per week between May and October for firewood and extra power charges. Optic fibre is connected. References would be good but not entirely essential if you are a new arrival to this beautiful country.

Motutapu Island rāhui extended until elusive stoat caught

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

A rāhui over Motutapu Island is set to continue indefinitely, while an elusive stoat continues to wreak havoc with the island’s wildlife.

A rāhui over Motutapu Island is set to continue indefinitely, while an elusive stoat continues to wreak havoc with the island’s wildlife.

The pest-free island was placed under rāhui (ban) for 30 days by iwi Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki on May 18 as the Department of Conservation worked to curb a stoat outbreak – the fourth since May 2020.

Just two stoats have been caught since then, DOC incursion response advisor Claire Warren said.

No stoats have been captured since the rāhui commenced, Warren said, however genetic analysis of stoat faeces confirmed the presence of one male stoat on the island.

Ferry services to Rangitoto Island are not affected by the rāhui, however campsite bookings for the Motutapu Island campsite are unavailable.

Hi neighbours, I post a cockatoo few weeks ago and I already found the owner but apparently the owner cannot keep the cockatoo to stay inside during the day and still freely roaming neighbourhood and start destroying everything.
I already message the owner as a reminder to keep the cockatoo inside during the day and if the owner still cannot keep it inside than I am going to call bird rescue.
Am I doing the right thing? or anyone can give any suggestion?
Attached photos what the cookatoo has done in my property.
Much appreciate for any feedback or suggestion.
Thank you.
