It is a sunny style house with lots of windows and balconies. The house has 3 double bedrooms, a study, 2 bathrooms, a separate toilet room, double garage with a man cave on top and lots of storage.  Also has off street parking - which is a bonus.  It is in the zone of lots of good schools within the Wellington area. There is a garden so it would be ideal to find someone who loves gardening but not essential.  We do allow pets but they need to be well trained.  It is situated close to the Kelburn Village and the bus stops.  It is walking distance to the CBD and very close to the Botanical gardens.  It is $875 per week.  If you are interested please feel free to message me below.  Unfortunately due to Lockdown level 4 you will be unable to view this property until we drop a level. The house is empty so available as soon as the level allows us. Note house is unfurnished but whitewhare is provided.

Lockdown and birthdays are two words that do not go well together.
Children love celebrating their birthday but with social distancing and bubbles birthday parties are no go under lockdown.
When Emery Maclean​ set out on her morning lockdown walk with mum Abby Vogel​ and big sister Avah​ she quickly realised this one was extra special.
Within minutes the 4-year-old spotted a collection of balloons tied to a gate – and the shocked girl was told by her mum they were for her birthday.
It is lovely to see neighbours pitching in to help the youngster. If you have a birthday or a especial anniversary (wedding, 21st etc), have you thought about how you are going to celebrate it?

We love seeing our apprentices making waves in the industry.
Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.

He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."

If you are thinking of signing up for an apprenticeship, get in touch with us here
