Living on a boat to escape Wellington's high rentals

Reporter Community News

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.
Would you be prepared to live on a boat?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
