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.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Builder Wanted or seeking builder (LBP).
We are looking for a semi-retired builder or solo LBP to supervise / co-work with me while I undertake an extension project as a self-build . Rates to be negotiated prior to commencement. Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
Thanks Phil
