Looking for a new home
Any pointers? My partner and I are looking for a property to rent in Martinborough or its wider environs from mid-July onwards. We’ve been here for four years in the same house, but the owners have plans for the property so we are on the hunt. Our last lease arrangement lasted 12 years, so we are consistent and long-term tenants. We’re middle aged, I am a public servant in Wellington and my partner works in Marti.
Clearly, we would love to stay in Martinborough, or somewhere semi-rural on the outskirts of town, however we are very realistic about the current state of the rental market and are open to explore opportunities as far North as Carterton.
Ideally, we are looking for a three-bedroom, fenced property, on a medium sized section. Realistically, we would consider a two-bedroom property, on a smallish section. I am confident that our current landlords will attest to our suitability as tenants.
Any suggestions would be very, very appreciated. Please PM us? Lee and Simon.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
