Looking for a place to call home

Donna from Otaki District

I am hoping there is a guardian angel out there somewhere who has a long term rental available. My current rental is to be sold so I am looking for a two bedroom place that will be a long term tenancy agreement. As I have mobility issues it needs to have shower that is not over a bath, easy access … View moreI am hoping there is a guardian angel out there somewhere who has a long term rental available. My current rental is to be sold so I am looking for a two bedroom place that will be a long term tenancy agreement. As I have mobility issues it needs to have shower that is not over a bath, easy access as I use a walking frame and somewhere to keep my mobility scooter dry when I'm not using it. Heating needs to be either a Heat Pump or other efficient heating as I can not manage the wood required for a fire. Currently I live in Otaki but will consider anything between Raumati South and Otaki. Moving further South or North is out of the question

Whittaker’s has turned the chocolate world upside down with its new innovative new Peanut Butter and Jelly 250g Block.
Whittaker’s co-chief operating officer, Holly Whittaker, says having more than one filling in a block is a first for Whittaker’s and something a bit different from the way other chocolate flavour combinations are produced.
Recently named the Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand for the tenth consecutive year, Whittaker’s also celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. It will be available for a limited time only in supermarkets nationwide from Monday June 21.
Are you going to try it and are there any other flavours you would like to see combined into one block?
