Live-in Housekeeper Needed
We need a live-in housekeeper for our beautiful property on Bronte Road East
Accommodation is in a cozy and comfortable independent cottage with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and laundry.
The Cottage is offered rent-free in exchange for 18 hours work per week. Electricity, gas and unlimited fast internet are included.
Duties include housework, cleaning, ironing, lawn mowing, general gardening and caring for our large friendly dog whenever we are away
The position would suit a fit and energetic single lady who would enjoy the beautiful and tranquil setting on the Waimea Inlet. Flexibility is critical, so the position would be best suited to someone without other employment commitments
The property has extensive gardens, a swimming pool and a sauna.

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
