Need something to rent for retired lady

Linda from Ngatea

Hi. I am wanting to move closer to Thames (currently in Mangatarata, (too far from friends etc.)
I am in my 60's and retired (do voluntary work.)

 Does anyone have either of the three: a small plot of land on acre-age in or near Thames?
 Or, a used caravan (any condition or size) … View more
Hi. I am wanting to move closer to Thames (currently in Mangatarata, (too far from friends etc.)
I am in my 60's and retired (do voluntary work.)

 Does anyone have either of the three: a small plot of land on acre-age in or near Thames?
 Or, a used caravan (any condition or size) for sale or rent?
I am able to make the caravan totally self-sufficient, with solar panel, water tank and a chemical toilet. I would not need to use anyones utilities. I can take my laundry once a week to town to laundromat and I can shower in a hotel in town 2-3 times a week.
So, you'd only see me off in the distance! ;-)
Or do you have a small granny-flat or similar you might be willing to rent? I am tired of paying all my pension into rent and utilities and would like to live the rest of my life in something cheaper.
I have good refs, non-drinker, non-drugger, non smoker and no pets.
If interested text or ring 022 1290 501

We can negotiate whatever you feel its worth after viewing. Thanks.

Traditional villa frontage hides hi-tech surprise

Reporter Homed

How cool is this? It may appear to be a typical villa, but look again...

Behind the picket fence and framed windows, there's a drive-in garage and two-car stacker... and a definite spy film vibe when the house opens up to reveal its secret.

Behind the picket fence and framed windows, there's a drive-in garage and two-car stacker... and a definite spy film vibe when the house opens up to reveal its secret.

Jon Smith from Matter Architects came up with the idea as a way of preserving the heritage-protected character of their Auckland villa - and it's given us a serious case of garage envy!
