Want to escape Wellington’s escalating rent prices? Consider living aboard a boat – but be prepared to fork out several thousand dollars for a vessel, and wait months for a berth in one of Wellington’s overstuffed marinas.
Wellington couple Tom Turner, 22, and Simone Zoellner, 21, have bypassed the rental crisis by paying $100 a week for a berth in Lower Hutt's Seaview Marina.
