TradeMe pulls listing for caravan inside shed that was offered as rental
Kia ora neighbours, a $285 per week rental property, which consisted of a caravan inside a ramshackle shed, has been removed from TradeMe, which says it does not comply with regulations.
The listing, advertised as a one-bedroom property in Waitākere, asked for $285 per week for a single person, or $355 per week for a couple.
The lister, “Rental 123”, said the caravan came with a cooker, small fridge, and hot and cold water.
“Bathroom is shared, cooking is inside caravan. Bed not included, but there is room for a queen or smaller," it said.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
