Naturally, you want to share this journey with your beloved furry companion, and at Ryman, you are welcome to bring your pet along, provided they are suitable for the village environment.

Once your pet is approved for the village, the focus shifts to ensuring a smooth transition for them. Dogs and cats, being creatures of habit, may find relocating stressful. However, with patience and a thoughtful approach, we can mitigate their anxiety and help them settle into their new surroundings seamlessly.

Watch out for this pretty flower

Green thumbs are being asked to watch out for a beautiful but toxic flower that could be growing in their backyards.

What you need to know:
- Every part of the plant is poisonous, and can cause gastroenteritis, thirst, paralysis, blindness, and heart and kidney failure.
- This plant is hardy and normal pest control efforts are often not enough to eradicate.
- The cape tulip, growing up to 90cm high with one strap-like leaf, was introduced to Aotearoa in the 1940s, the Ministry for Primary Industries’ manager for pest management John Sanson said. “Cape tulips, like many of these invasive weeds, are really attractive ornamental species ...but they escape over people’s backyard fences and into pasture, as these things often do,”
- It was classified as a noxious plant in the late 1970s after they were discovered to cause harm to livestock and humans, even killing animals when too much as ingested.
- The salmon-pink flowers bloom for about two days a year between June and December, and have previously been an ornamental species for keen gardeners.

Sanson urged people who believed they had the weed growing on their property to leave it untouched and contact Biosecurity New New Zealand’s Exotic Pest and Disease on 0800 80 99 66.

Once a site was confirmed, manual removal or chemical treatment would start.

The leaves are starting to fall. Autumn is on the way.

Alan Storage from Kiwi Self Storage - North Shore

Unless you’re one of those lucky people with a giant walk in closet and no storage restraints, it may be time to switch out your summer wardrobe, for the winter one.

If you are currently storing all of your clothes for the year in your wardrobe, you may want to try storing your summer clothes somewhere else. You will find it much easier to access what you need with the lack of clutter in a fully stuffed cupboard.

We even know a few customers in both Auckland and Wellington who have rented one of our small self storage units specifically for their seasonal wardrobes.

Click here for some handy tips on switching out your wardrobes fast and efficiently.

Time to put the BBQ in storage

We all want to get as many weekend BBQ’s in as possible but let’s be honest…as we head into winter it is unlikely that it will be getting much use. The same goes for your outdoor furniture. Don’t let it all sit growing mold outside. You’ll want to find a dry indoor space either in your basement or garage.

If you don’t have spare space around your house consider renting a storage unit for a few months. The investment will easily outweigh having to try and salvage, or even repurchase everything next summer.

As autumn progresses, people often begin preparing for winter by decluttering and organizing their homes. Self-storage can be a valuable resource for storing items that are not needed during the colder months, allowing homeowners to create more space and better organize their living areas for the winter season.

A small to medium sized storage unit is just what you need.

Convenient locations in Auckland and Wellington. We have a location on the North Shore.

Call us now or visit us online. Arrange a time to come in and see us.

12 Holder Place, Rosedale. Handy to most places.
