A place to stay for Spanish girl here on a working holiday
Hello! We met a lovely Spanish girl who is here on a working holiday and needs a place to stay for some months. I am posting this on her behalf:
Hello neighbours! My name is Nora, I'm 22 years old, and I'm from Barcelona. I just arrived in the area after spending five months in Queenstown, and I'm looking for a place to live. I've been sleeping in my car for the past two months while traveling. But now that I'm starting work, I'd love to have a more stable place.
I'm open to different options:
- A single or shared room (I have a friend who is also looking).
- A spot to park my car, while having access to a kitchen and bathroom.
I'm a sociable and active person who loves sharing experiences with new people. I'm always out exploring and doing outdoor activities, and I enjoy good conversations and cultural exchanges. If you're looking for an easy-going flatmate who brings good vibes to the house, feel free to message me! I'd also love the opportunity to stay with a local family and experience their way of life. I really enjoy being around kids, and I'd be happy to help out whenever needed. I’ll cook Spanish meals for everyone and teach some Spanish!
PS This morning, I met Elly and Leo at the Papamoa Parkrun, and they offered to post this message on the Neighbourly website to help me reach more people.
Thank you so much! Nora, 021 706 934, nferrerparpal@gmail.com

Thinking About a Multigenerational Home?
Here’s Why It’s a Smart Move! 🏡✨
More families are embracing multigenerational living—and for good reason! It’s not just about having everyone under one roof; it’s about shared expenses, built-in support, and stronger family connections.
💰 Financial Perks – Splitting mortgage, utilities, and maintenance costs can ease financial stress and free up funds for other investments.
👨👩👧👦 Built-in Support System – Grandparents, parents, and kids all benefit from the close-knit environment, whether it’s childcare, elder care, or just having loved ones nearby.
🏠 Finding the Right Home – Look for a layout that works for everyone—separate living spaces, multiple bathrooms, and accessibility features are key. And of course, location matters! Proximity to schools, healthcare, and amenities will make daily life easier for all generations.

A time to be vigilant
It's tax return time. Scammers are impersonating Inland Revenue (IR) - and even the Police to steal personal information and money.
They may contact you by email, text, or phone, claiming:
🔹 You're owed a tax refund and must provide your bank details to receive it.
🔹 You owe tax and need to pay immediately to avoid legal trouble.
How to stay safe:
✅ Don’t click on links in emails or texts - log in to your myIR account directly.
✅ Check the sender - official IRD emails always end in @ird.govt.nz.
✅ Be cautious with texts - IRD only sends messages from four-digit codes, not
regular phone numbers.
