What local tenants owe Kāinga Ora

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Five Waikato Kāinga Ora tenants owe $127,000 in rent between them, with the biggest single debt at $33,000.

Across the region, tenants are $1.58m behind on payments, as Kāinga Ora takes a harder line on those who aren’t keeping up. That includes faster repayment plans for the 2000 tenants nationwide who owe more than 12 weeks of rent.

12 months, zero fees*

The Team from Ryman Healthcare

Relax, we’ve got it covered, enjoy a year of free fees*

At Ryman you won’t pay your base weekly fee for a whole year* when you sign up to an independent apartment or townhouse at a participating Ryman village before 30 June 2025.

That means that you won’t pay rates, water rates, building insurance, maintenance fees and more. That’s great financial certainty.

*Participating villages only, Ts and Cs apply

Have you been to Waitomo recently?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One of the region’s premier tourist locations is shaking off its long Covid hangover as a new caving experience opens near Waitomo promising local jobs, and a boost to visitor numbers after the pandemic decimated local businesses.

Co-owner and founder of The Waitomo Experience, John Heskett said pre-Covid there were more than five black water rafting operators working in the caves beneath Waitomo, but that number dropped down to just one.
