House sitting or accommodation needed
Hi Everyone,
We are a family of 3 who moved down to the Hibiscus Coast/North Shore from Northland about 9 months ago. We moved here to access therapy for our now 2yr old daughter who has Cerebral Palsy. We have been unable to afford rent as well as our daughter’s therapies, so we have been doing a combination of house sitting and living in our caravan.
We are looking to live down here for at least another year or longer depending on our daughters needs. We are looking for long term house sits of 2 months or longer if possible, we are also interested in any other affordable living arrangements that might be available. Our daughter is still unable to crawl so the home does not need to be “baby proofed”.
We have great references from our previous house sitting and are happy to care for all sorts of animals as well as do house and property care and maintenance.
We are currently looking for a place to stay from the 17th of November and onwards, please PM me to get in contact.
Thank you for your time.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Is Auckland’s economy improving?
The latest reporting from The Post suggests a wave of optimism for 2026. With interest rates finally heading south, businesses are feeling more positive. But for many on the ground, the real-world recovery feels a bit like a slow-moving commute on Auckland's motorways.
