They have outstanding culinary traditions and were the focus of our Level 5 Diploma students. Over one month, the students researched their topic of interest resulting in a written report and powerpoint presentation to their class. Following this, they prepared two dishes to showcase their subject.

Can you tell where the dishes are from???

ITS ALL ABOUT THE DOGS.

Sadly, our current rental property of 6 years has just been sold for development and so we need to find a new rental property asap.

If you are looking for long term tenants, KEYWORD LONGTERM, not up and coming developments please not looking to move again any time soon if we can help it.

3/4 bedrooms, garage, pet friendly is what we need anything considered, but please don't assume because we have dogs, we don't have standards I like a clean house and a clean yard, when I rent, I only improve standards I don't lower them.
We are well kept and so are our pets.
We are invested in keeping a tidy home, very handy around the house.
Don't mind yard work if needed don't mind minor fix ups but must be livable condition.

Example , Went to a house viewing today and was shocked at the disgusting filthy conditions of the property, would have been a very tidy house at 1 time but sadly due to lack of care the property was in very poor conditions, smelt like a dirty toilet, definitely looked much the same I could have worked with the yard and even that was a huge ask but after viewing the inside I pity the poor person who ends up there.
Sadly, so many desperate people were willing to take it in that condition.

Please if you have a long-term pet friendly property up and coming that you think might be suitable look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks Marie

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, healthy home – see if you’re eligible for financial support to insulate and heat yours.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.
