Hey Neighbours!

If counting sheep just isn’t cutting it, maybe it’s time to let music do the magic. Calming tunes can slow your breathing, melt away stress, and gently guide your mind into dreamland.

Try winding down tonight with some soft classical, ambient, or instrumental tunes — you might just snooze faster than you think! And of course, a cozy bed makes it even better.

Curious how music truly affects your sleep?

Poll: Yay or nay to tourist fees? 🌏💰

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kiwis love tourism ... it brings in cash and connection. But with more visitors comes more pressure on our beautiful places, housing, and local infrastructure.

So what’s the fix? Should we bring in a tourism tax or focus on spreading visitors beyond the hotspots to ease the load? 👇

Hey Neighbours!

Ever wake up feeling like you barely slept? It might not be you — it might be your mattress!

We all have our own unique sleep styles, and the right mattress can make all the difference. Side sleepers usually love the soft, cozy hug of memory foam, while back or stomach sleepers often rest best on the firm, supportive feel of latex or innerspring beds.

So before you hit the hay tonight, ask yourself — is your mattress working for you or against you?

If you’re not sure, pop by and have a chat with us! We’d love to help our neighbours find their perfect match for better, deeper sleep.
