1 bedroom unit or similar
Kia ora community.
We are on the hunt for a 1 bedroom unit/sleep out type accommodation with kitchen and bathroom for my elderly Grandma. She is self sufficient and enjoys spending her days drawing/painting. She’s not fussy but we’re hoping to find a place local to Glen Eden as she loves her weekly trips to the 2 dollar shops 😆
Just thought I’d post on here to see if anyone had anything becoming available in the near future.
Thanks in advance 😊
