Flatmate wanted – Snells Beach/Algies Bay $195 a week
Escape the rat race and enhance your quality of life. Near to fashionable and beautiful Matakana, amazing beaches at our doorstep, extremely fresh air, a lot of good places to go jogging, and only an hour's commute from Auckland.
Medium-size clean and bright sunny room with sea view in well-maintained 2 bedroom house (no TV) with sea-facing deck and large garden on quiet street. Possibility of larger room by negotiation.
In the area: Matakana cinema, markets, cafes 13mins; supermarkets 12mins; Snells Beach shops 3mins; Scandrett Regional Park 3mins.
Looking for a female, mature, responsible, open-minded flatmate with a sense of humour, to live with a female writer/teacher and a white cat.
I like to live with flatmates in a way where we respect each others' privacy but can also share a meal, a laugh and a cup of tea/glass of wine when the occasion arises. It's also important for me to live with someone who has empathy towards animals, as I have a beautiful dainty white cat.
Fully furnished including washing machine, dryer etc, free furniture available for room if desired.
Internet, power and water bills to be split 50/50, generally around $85/month.
