Living in a motel aaarrrggghhh!

Madena from South Dunedin

Hey neighbours!
My family and I are currently living in a motel (have done for 3 1/2 months) through transitional housing. As you can imagine we are desperate to get out.
My partner and I have 3 girls 5, 3 and 2 plus one small shitzu (who cannot stay with us while in the motel 🙁) , we would prefer to have some sort of parking but it isn't essential. The girls attend kindy and school in the south end of dunedin so not wanting to move to far away, we are considering any of the flat suburbs out this way (as I don't drive so want to be in walking distance of the girls destinations ) e.g caversham,south dunedin, st Kilda, st clair, forbury, andersons bay, Musselburgh, tainui somewhere around these areas. We are struggling with property managers as they can't see past a credit rating (😣)so would prefer a private landlord. We are very reliable and friendly people who can provide plenty of refernces to a lovely landlord who is willing to give us a chance and get us out of this motel! Feel free to share this around.
I can send Contact details through private message also!
Thank you everyone

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
