Seeking a Rural Rental
Seeking a One-Bedroom Cottage in Rural Tauranga
Hello! I’m a mature, working woman—quiet, reliable, and respectful—looking to rent a one-bedroom cottage in a peaceful rural area around Tauranga. I’d love to settle somewhere long-term with my gentle and well-behaved cat.
Preferred Areas: Pillians Point Te Puna, Minden, Bethlehem, Pahoia,Whakamarama, Omanawa, or along the old highway.
My Ideal Home Includes: (flexible with my wish list)
Unfurnished
Warm and insulated
A stove (doesn’t have to be full size—just something with elements and an oven big enough to bake bread; not just a microwave, please)
Space for my fridge and washing machine
Separate lounge and bedroom
A little area for a garden
Peaceful surroundings
Budget $465
I’m a non-smoker, do not vape or drink, and can provide excellent references. If you have—or know of—a place that sounds like this, I’d love to hear from you. Please send me a DM
Thank you so much
