King single bed there can be used or removed. Near Queens Square. 10 mins walk to New World. Hastings. Off street parking available. $130 p/w includes everything except food and toiletries including unlimited internet.

All applicants are required to provide a NZ police check (which means you will have to have been in New Zealand for at least a year) and 2 phone references and have good, understandable spoken English. Available now but I want some-one who is in no rush so we can firstly have a few video calls to see if we're suitable.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
