As the days get shorter a decluttered home can feel lighter and more appealing.
Before reading on, if you have questions about getting the most from a storage unit, our teams at Kiwi Self Storage, are here to help.
To get you started, here are four reasons why you want to organise winter self-storage.
Reason One: You'll Make More Room
Is your garage always full, leaving no room to park the car? Are you worried about clutter and lack of floor space? Renting a self-storage unit can help free up extra space. You can store everything from excess summer sports equipment to outdoor furniture or items you don’t need daily. By using off-site storage, you’ll finally get the extra space in your home you’ve been wanting for ages.
Reason Two: Storing Equipment Frees Up Space
As cooler weather arrives, things in the garden slow down. You don't need to worry so much about lawn and garden maintenance. Items such as the lawnmower, hedge trimmer and other garden tools take up valuable space in the garage or shed. If you'd like more space to use for other things throughout the winter months, renting a storage unit is an easy and affordable way to create the additional space you need.
Reason Three: Preserving Outdoor Furniture Makes Sense
Winter weather can deteriorate exposed outdoor furniture and umbrellas. One day it may be sunny and warm, and the next it may be damp and cold. Severe weather fluctuations can affect your outdoor furniture, modern furniture in particular, especially if it is not covered. If you’ve invested in your outdoor furniture, you’ll want to keep it looking great for years to come.
Reason Four: Protecting Against New Zealand’s Damp Winter Conditions
New Zealand's winter can be particularly damp, which can lead to mold and mildew problems in homes. By using a self-storage if your home lacks climate control, you can protect your belongings from the effects of dampness. Items like clothing, books, and electronics can be safely stored without the risk of moisture damage, ensuring they remain in good condition throughout the winter months.
Why not arrange a tour of one of our storage Facilities?
We'd love to discuss your storage needs with us and take you on a tour of our facility. That way you can be confident that our storage solution is what you need. What's more if you change your mind we can provide a different unit when you move in.

New Zealand Police are advising the public to be vigilant, after a handful of reports have been made in recent days. Unfortunately, at least two elderly Aucklanders have been conned out of tens of thousands of dollars.
Waitematā CIB’s Detective Senior Sergeant Ryan Bunting says scammers are cold calling, mainly on landlines, and claim to be a Police officer.“They will also provide a fake ID or badge number to make their call seem legitimate,” he says.“This person will carry on and provide a reason for their call: either they are investigating fake bank notes, or that your credit card has been cloned.
“As part of this scam, they will ask you to withdraw money from a nearby bank to be collected or ask you to provide further financial or banking information to aid their investigation.”
Be aware: this is a scam call.
Police are investigating two reports this week, in south Auckland and the North Shore, where two people have fallen victim to the scam. “Both victims withdrew cash from a bank and handed this over to someone who arrived at their door to collect it under the fake cover story,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says.“These victims have had their good-will and trust trodden on by these scammers.”
Investigation staff have ensured there is support available for the victims. Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says: “Scammers have no ethics whatsoever and will take any opportunity to try and con you.“These scams take many forms, and the offenders trick people under a variety of guises or storylines.”
There are occasions where legitimate Police officers will contact people as part of their duties, he says.
Police are asking the community to be aware and take the opportunity to spread the word amongst friends and family members. “We are particularly keen to ensure elder family members are aware of what is happening,” Detective Senior Sergeant Bunting says. “If anyone receives a call of this nature, hang up.
“If you have had the unfortunate position of being a victim to this scam and have not reported this, we encourage you to report this to Police.”
Please remember:
- Police will never call to ask you for bank details, pin numbers or passwords
- Police do not offer prize money
- Police will not ask you to go to a bank to withdraw money
- If you receive a call out of the blue of a similar nature: challenge the caller to identify themselves, ask for their details.
- Hang up, contact 105 to verify the ID and request the officer to contact you
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

====================
New residence criteria
====================
To get NZ Super or Veteran's Pension you must have lived in NZ for a certain amount of time. This is gradually increasing from 10 years to 20 years.
The number of years you must have lived in NZ since you turned 20 is based on your date of birth. You still need to have lived in NZ for at least 5 years since you turned 50.
These years (including the 5 years from age 50) do not need to be consecutive.
Use the table below to work this out:
=============================
Date of birth
Number of years you must have lived in NZ since you turned 20
On or before 30 June 1959 10 years
1 July 1959 - 30 June 1961 11 years
1 July 1961 - 30 June 1963 12 years
1 July 1963 - 30 June 1965 13 years
1 July 1965 - 30 June 1967 14 years
1 July 1967 - 30 June 1969 15 years
1 July 1969 - 30 June 1971 16 years
1 July 1971 - 30 June 1973 17 years
1 July 1973 - 30 June 1975 18 years
1 July 1975 - 30 June 1977 19 years
On or after 1 July 1977 20 years
==================================
If you haven't lived in NZ the whole time, you may be able to use another country to meet the residency criteria if:
it is a country that has a Social Security Agreement (SSA) with NZ, or
it is a NZ Realm country (the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau).
If you're recognised as a refugee or protected person, the number of years you need is worked out differently.
Other criteria you need to meet
=========================
As well as meeting the residence criteria, you also need to:
be 65 or older
either:
be a New Zealand (NZ) citizen
be a permanent resident, or
hold a residence class visa, and
be ordinarily resident in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau when you apply.
