Still looking for a long term rental 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. I am a single 66 yr old female who has grandchildren to stay from time to time. I keep a clean and tidy place both inside and out and always pay my rent on time. I have good references available. 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

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
