Short term room needed due to flooding

Katie from Takapuna

Kia ora neighbours,

My flatmates and I are being turfed out of our rental due to flood damage. I am hoping to find a room in Takapuna for a short time, between 2-3 months, until a room in my friend's home opens up. I could also be looking for longer term, if that were available. I'd be looking to move in about a month at the most, maybe earlier if I could. I'm a 31 year old woman, a stage manager for a kid's theatre, and I've been the head tenant of my 4 bedroom since 2019. I know how to keep a home tidy and clean, and I'm a quiet, responsible and easy going flatmate who doesn't smoke or drink. I'm out of the house most of the time rock climbing or hiking when I'm not working. I'm looking to be within walking distance of The PumpHouse Theatre ideally, which is the area I'm in now. Can pay rent and contribute to bills, great references, good at gardening and keeping house plants alive. Not afraid of spiders or wetas. If anyone has a room or knows of someone who does, please let me know. I hope everyone is staying safe and gets through this next bit of foul weather ok. Thanks!

Cheers,
Katie
