Furnished or unfurnished rooms is available from 6 Sept. Get a feel that you are in a mini-resort with a tropical garden, swimming pool and BBQ. Kitchen and 3 other living spaces to share.
We can discuss if longer then 1 December.

There are at this stage 3 rooms available. 2 rooms sharing a lounge, bathroom and toilet with another mature guy living in the house as well.
A smaller room is $290 per week and the bigger room is $350 a week. This including power, water and internet for one person. If two people its another $100 a week.

The upstairs en-suite is furnished and have two private balconies. One turning out to sea view over Rangitoto and the other balcony in to the pool and tropical landscape garden. It got a queen bed and single bed, mini lounge, private separate toilet and bathroom. You also have your own Fridge/freezer/coffee maker and Netflix/light-box and free internet.

Per week $450 for one person. Extra person per week $100 including power, water and internet.

The house is set up as a holiday house, why I'm a bit careful with long term renting. However, we can discuss further if you have more long term in mind.

At the moment I have another nice mature guy staying in the house. House is large, so still heaps of space for privacy.

If you wish to see one of the rooms, please call or text me to organize a time for a visit.
Looking forward to hear from you :)

Planning your weekend binge recipe?

Try this Paprika Mayonnaise recipe to go with perfectly grilled burgers or even chips!

Paprika Mayonnaise (Makes approx. 150 ml)
Ingredients
1 egg yolk (room temperature)
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice
125 ml canola oil (room temperature)
1 teaspoon paprika powder

Method
1. Place the yolk in a clean bowl.
2. Whisk in the salt and the lemon juice or vinegar, mustard.
3. While continuing to whisk, start pouring in oil, drop by drop.
4. Once the emulsion has begun to form, start adding the oil in a steady thin stream, whisking constantly.
5. When the sauce is thick, check seasoning.
6. Add one teaspoon paprika powder.
7. To thin, whisk in a little warm water or more vinegar.

Useful Tips
Mayonnaise may curdle there is too much oil, or if is added too quickly, or if the mixture is under-whisked. However, a curdled emulsion can be rescued by very gradually whisking it into either a fresh egg yolk or a spoonful of boiling water in a clean bowl.

To avoid oily-tasting mayonnaise use fresh oil which does not have a strong flavour. Canola and rice bran oil are two examples.
