Sorry had to alter this to divide it up properly as too many enquiries and folk needing to know meterage etc. Now it is listed on Trademe at $1 for each individual room. If it doesn't all go on Monday and Tuesday anyone who has rang/messaged will be contacted and you can have it for free. So just text me if you are interested still.
