We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:

Hi Neighbors,
I'm looking for a 3 bedroom house to rent from 23rd of June, have a budget of $450 to $550 per week and even better if any Bill's included. Currently it's just me and my wife here in Auckland but our families to keep visiting us and that's the reason to ask for more bedroom.
We pay our rent all in time and also look after the property very well considering it as our own. No pets with us. 2 cars. Prefer a spacious bedroom house.
Please let me know if any available near mount Wellington as close to my wife's current work place.
Please feel free to contact me here.
Cheers :)
My first post here though.
