Room for rent - Beach Haven
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. 🏡
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
