Live-in housekeeper and dog minder
We need a live-in housekeeper and dog minder for our beautiful property on Bronte Road East near Mapua
Accommodation is in a fully furnished, modern and comfortable independent apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and simply stunning views over the Waimea Inlet.
The apartment is offered rent-free in return for help with housework, cleaning, ironing, lawn mowing, and caring for our large friendly dog – sometimes at weekends. Electricity, gas and unlimited fast internet are included.
A genuine love and experience of dogs is vital.
The position would suit a fit and energetic person who would appreciate the beautiful and tranquil setting. Flexibility is critical, so the position would be best suited to someone retired or without other employment commitments.
There are extensive gardens with direct access to the Inlet - perfect for a keen kayaker. There is a swimming pool and sauna to enjoy.
The apartment has been let as a B&B in the past. Google: Applewood Mapua – you will find it on Booking.com and AirB&B. More recently it has been let on a permanent basis for $595 per week. Although probably more suited to a single person, a couple could be considered.
Please apply by sending a brief resume to svgalatea@gmail.com

Poll: Should we be pushing a soft-plastics recycling rollout across the whole region 🗑️
Nelson City Council has confirmed that the kerbside soft plastic trial is continuing for the current 1,000 homes. It’s a fantastic step towards being more sustainable, but many of us are still waiting for our turn.
We want to know: Should we be pushing for a rollout across the whole region? Or are you happy to keep using the drop-off points at the supermarket for now?
Is this something your household would actually participate in! ♻️

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
