King single bed there can be used or removed. Near Queens Square. 10 mins walk to New World. Hastings. Off street parking available. $130 p/w includes everything except food and toiletries including unlimited internet. Must help out with the household cleaning and be honest, reliable & an effective communicator. No smokers or pets. All applicants are required to provide a NZ police check (which means you will have to have been in New Zealand for at least a year) and 2 phone references and have good, understandable spoken English. Available now but I want some-one who is in no rush so we can firstly have a few video calls to see if we're suitable. You'll need to messenger me on my FB name of : Marmaduke Patrick (rather than leaving a comment here or anywhere else otherwise I will miss your inquiry).
