Poll: Would you be an Airbnb host?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Raglan’s got so many Airbnbs that market owners struggling for clients are turning the spaces into long-term rentals.

But it’s still far from making a dent in the housing shortage in Waikato’s most sought-after coastal town, says a property manager.

DO YOU HAVE ANY UNWANTED WOOL?

Pat from Melville

If you have any unwanted wool, our group of elderly ladies - who knit blankets, jumpers, hats scarves, gloves and mittens for people in Eastern Europe - Romania, Moldova and the Ukraine) - would love to have it. The need is very great especially as the situation over there is very grim in this war-torn area. If you can help, please call me, Pat, on 021-057-0371 and I will arrange to pick it up.
Thank you.
