Hi everyone, 
We'd be keen to hear from those of you who had to cancel an overseas trip due to Covid-19 and holidayed in New Zealand instead. How did you find your NZ trip? Was it better or worse than you expected? Did you enjoy it as much as you think you would have enjoyed your overseas holiday? And did it change your views about holidaying domestically?

Here's a wee bit of a throwback to life under lockdown. Check out how this couple in Motueka helped out their neighbours who were new to the area. Have you got an unsung hero in your neighbourhood? You can make your nominations here!

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

It costs $280 including GST to park your car at U-Sell (Park & Sell Yard) for up to a month. There’s no commission or buyers fee. There is $20 extra the first month which covers the sales documentation, administration and a listing on our successful u-sell.co.nz website.


We print and laminate a window card with your contact details at the top, so anyone interested can view your car, take it for a drive (we photocopy their drivers licence and get them to sign a liability form) then the buyer will call you direct, or ask us, to make you an offer.


We can help with finance, vehicle grooming services, insurance, warranties and independent vehicle inspectors. As well we can "trade-in" the purchaser's vehicle (we pay cash for cars) making a deal more likely.


When you’re ready, just bring your car in to U-Sell (Park & Sell Yard), 797 Te Rapa Road, Hamilton. We’re open 7 days. Monday - Saturday 9 am to 5 pm Sunday 10 am to 3 pm. Closed public holidays.
