I have one only second hand clean and dry babies bassinet mattress Free of Charge. It has had no visible 'wet spots' or stains. It has a wire sprung construction.

Wire spring mattresses are much cooler and less sweaty in the summer months when compared to the completely foam plastic upholstered versions. The upper layers are foam plastic.

This is a freebie donation only IF you have a current Community Services Card or a Gold Card or, better, still, a real live little one with you to show for it. You CAN take the little one back home again... (LOL).

 The measurements are: about 130 cm x 70cm.

Collection point is in Bryndwr Rd near the corner of Ilam Rd.

Oceania’s newest luxury village, The Bellevue, is beautifully set up for you to keep active, close to shops and the city centre.

Local resident, Kate Fraser, recently moved to The Bellevue and loves the convenience of apartment living. “When I walked in the door, I knew immediately I was going to live here.” On a typical day you could start out with a barista-made coffee and a treat at the café, get in your steps at the gym, or join neighbours for a game of pool before moving to happy hour. “The village has a feeling of a resort hotel. I thought — it reminds me of that hotel in Spain.” Kate added.

Call Brenda today on 0800 333 688 and stop by for a coffee and something delicious from the chef to get a taste for The Bellevue lifestyle.

We’re just down the road at 21 Windermere Road, Papanui, Christchurch.
