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.

"Our beautiful endemic and endangered black-billed gull/tarāpuka (Chroicocephalus bulleri). Sometimes I've found them a little confusing to identify as in non-breeding plumage, black-billed gulls can have a two-coloured brownish and black bill and red legs, but they always have a longer, finer bill than a red-billed gull - that said there is also a little variation in the bill sizes. The two species sometimes hang out together as well to make it more confusing. Bird #57 in 2022."
This week a picture from Rosa Marie.
"Here are a few 'birdie' shots while I was on the 10 minute boat ride at Zealandia on Friday! I had never been on the boat, so it was such a joy to see the shags from another angle."

With assisted living, resthome, hospital and dementia care also onsite, if your partner needs care before you, knowing the village care centre is only a short stroll away will help ease this transition.
Care options vary between villages.
