Looking for a home to rent!
Kia ora neighbours,
We are needing to move from our house in Stanmore Bay by the 9th of October to allow the owners to sell the property untenanted. We are locals looking for somewhere tidy for myself, my 13 year old and our two well-behaved cats. 2-3 bedrooms would be ideal and I can pay up to $550 per week. My parents live in Orewa and my son attends Orewa College. I work in Albany so it would be great to find somewhere close to school/parents for my son to be able to get to and fro easily. We have great references, keep a tidy home and are interested in a long term tenancy. Pretty much my only ask is that the house gets some sunshine :) If you or someone you know are able to help us, we'd be so grateful! Thank you! Ngā mihi, Chloe 0211787361

New baby?
Hi - I'm Olivia from Stuff (and a new mum myself).
I'm writing an article on the different challenges faced by parents around the country, from midwife availability and getting on wait lists for childcare right down to the food at birthing centres.
