"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.
Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?

It is set up for fishing and because of the flat bottom it is very stable in the water, so it would be perfect on the calm waters of Kawau Bay. We will throw in a set of new oars, and an anchor and rope to complete the deal. The boat has dolly wheels at the rear and a trolley at the front to make it easy to move around.

Around 10% of the overall population has the affliction meaning that there are 139,999 others out there just like you in Auckland.
Fortunately, help is at hand, the Laser Nail Clinic in the Northshore Medical complex on Sunset road, are specialists in treating this humiliating infection. Since 2014 they have treated literally thousands of nails using the “state of the art” PinPointe Laser machine, a machine created in the USA specifically for this purpose and having FDA clearance to do so.
The clinic is located at Suite 18 of the Northshore Medical Centre, 326 Sunset Rd, Windsor Park. To make a booking or for more information call John on 09 4755 273 or go to our very informative website – www.lasernailclinic.co.nz.
Heres what our clients have to say:
Highly recommend this clinic! The results and progress I'm getting from laser treatment has produced the best results that creams and pills have been unable to do, slow process but seeing some great results over the 5 treatments I have had! Thank you!

I am writing to say thank you so much for your excellent service. I am now cured of my nail Fungi, which I am sure I caught from a Nail bar overseas. Your absolute patience as far as my time being very busy and booking me in was superb, and you always followed up with a lovely friendly call. Your team are excellent, and worked hard to solve the problem I had, always professional, spotlessly clean and welcoming. I will certainly refer others to your practice. I wanted to take this time to thank you all.
