Short term room needed due to flooding
Kia ora neighbours,
My flatmates and I are being turfed out of our rental due to flood damage. I am hoping to find a room in Takapuna for a short time, between 2-3 months, until a room in my friend's home opens up. I could also be looking for longer term, if that were available. I'd be looking to move in about a month at the most, maybe earlier if I could. I'm a 31 year old woman, a stage manager for a kid's theatre, and I've been the head tenant of my 4 bedroom since 2019. I know how to keep a home tidy and clean, and I'm a quiet, responsible and easy going flatmate who doesn't smoke or drink. I'm out of the house most of the time rock climbing or hiking when I'm not working. I'm looking to be within walking distance of The PumpHouse Theatre ideally, which is the area I'm in now. Can pay rent and contribute to bills, great references, good at gardening and keeping house plants alive. Not afraid of spiders or wetas. If anyone has a room or knows of someone who does, please let me know. I hope everyone is staying safe and gets through this next bit of foul weather ok. Thanks!
Cheers,
Katie
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
