Housekeeper / Dog Sitter Needed
We need a live-in housekeeper for our beautiful property on Bronte Road East near Mapua
Accommodation is in a fully furnished, modern and comfortable independent apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and simply stunning views over the Waimea Inlet.
The Cottage is offered rent-free and electricity, gas and unlimited fast internet are included.
Duties include housework, cleaning, ironing, lawn mowing, and caring for our large friendly dog – sometimes at weekends. A genuine love of dogs is vital.
The position would suit a fit and energetic single lady who would appreciate the beautiful and tranquil setting. Flexibility is critical, so the position would be best suited to someone without other employment commitments.
The property has extensive gardens with direct access to the Inlet. There is a swimming pool and sauna to enjoy.
The apartment has been let as a B&B in the recent past. Google: Applewood Mapua – you will find it on Booking.com and AirB&B
Please apply by sending a brief resume (with photo) to svgalatea@gmail.com

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
