One bedroom, bathroom, large living room with French doors to the verandah sitting area. (See images) Heat, electricity and internet are included in the rent. Great harbour views and a swimming pool. Resident parking at the door.
This is a sunny warm apartment suitable for a single or a couple on Thorndon's finest cul de sac. Shops, restaurants, bars, specialty stores just a one minute walk away. Two minutes to the Botanic Gardens and Rose Garden, eight minutes through the park to Lambton Quay.
We have operated an occasional B&B in the suite for many years which explains the images being labeled Gardens Homestay.
An antique writing desk will replace the bed in the large living room.
Preference will be given to a weekday resident flying home on weekends, but we'll discuss a rental with anyone interested to view.

Mikaela Wilkes Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours,
Have you been to the country's first "drive-thru" garden centre in Plimmerton yet? Owner Richard Persson said he sold six weeks worth of vege seedlings in three days because "we're all alcohlic gardeners this side of lockdown".

Vege seedlings have been selling out because gardeners are buying them up like crazy now and the growers weren't able to plant at level 4. But they're warning other shortages of fruit and native trees are still to come and could be long-lasting.

NZ Gardener's new issue is out now

Jo McCarroll - NZ Gardener editor Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

We are (very) excited to say that the May issue of NZ Gardener is on sale today, and absolutely packed with the good stuff!

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. NZ Gardener has been informing and inspiring New Zealand gardeners for more than 75 years and we're incredibly grateful to our readers, especially our subscribers, because we couldn't do it without you. And by the way subscribing is easy and a much cheaper way to get your magazine each month! And would an NZ Gardener sub make a great Mother's Day gift this Sunday, you ask? I think we all know the answer to that! Jo
