Flatmate wanted :)

Briaane from Owhiro Bay

Hi folks! Myself and my 3 year old are new in the Owhiro Bay neighbourhood. We've got a great place on Happy Valley Road - we just need someone to move in with us!
Our lifestyle is quiet nights and early mornings, so seeking a kid friendly person who is fine with that. There are actually 2 rooms available - the smaller fits a single bed. Both have cupboards. Rent is $170 for 1 room or $245 for both, plus approx $30 a week for expenses.
Happy with couples, cats (love cats), students, workers, in-betweeners. Not worried about your age, just looking for someone who looks after the place and is reliable, friendly and mature. Ideally move in ASAP.
There's a bus service that's now extended to weekends and parking is on street. You will need to be able-bodied as there are steps up to the house.
We love this area and are really looking forward to having a kind lovely person move in with us :)
You can email sakkeil@gmail.com any time.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
