Room for rent - Beach Haven
Kia ora koutou!
Flatmate wanted to join myself in a lovely quiet 3-bed house in Beach Haven. ๐บ
House is single-storey, back off the street, sunny. Two off-street parks to be shared between us (NB: itโs tandem parking). Plenty of on-street parking.
5-10mins walk to bus stops to the city. 5min drive to ferry to the city.
Place is unfurnished aside from a couch so fridge will be hired unless you can bring your own to share. ๐
Room is a double with a wardrobe (sorry only have the one photo) and we would both share the third room which will be a home office and meditation space. ๐งโโ๏ธ
Small amount of outdoor space with a clothesline. (Wonโt be getting a dryer for the house.)
About me: Mature working professional, work 4 days per week, mostly from the office or out and about. Work in the environmental industry, try to live sustainably (and healthily) and hobbies include meditation, dancing, gardening. ๐ชด ๐
About you: someone looking for a home, not just a room to hide in. ๐ Respectful, friendly, communicative and able to do their own dishes and laundry as well as sharing the chores. ๐
Ideally keen to sit and chat over a cup of tea on the weekend sometimes. โ๏ธ
Cats negotiable, no dogs sorry. Ideally suits a single but couples can be discussed with the landlord. :)
Rent is $305 per week plus expenses (bills to be divided equally - electricity, broadband, appliance rental, water and then shared household stuff like toilet paper). Bond 4wks rent, one week rent in advance.
Available now. ๐ก

โ ๏ธ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. โ ๏ธ
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
๐ The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50ยฐC in less than 15 minutes.
๐ Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
๐ This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
๐ It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you โค๏ธ
