We are seeking a rural small house or fitted out shed etc with hopefully 2 bedrooms. Being warm and dry is first priority with a good web connection. It doesn't have to be perfect/flash just cosy. Move in date can be flexible btu we are very keen to take action. Excellent references are available. Happy to help out round the place if needed.
Prefer Prefer a location somewhere between Te Puke thru to Lower Kaimai

Myrtle rust is a fungus that can destroy our native and taonga trees such as pōhutukawa, mānuka, kānuka and rātā. It also attacks feijoa trees. Severe infestations can kill affected plants and have long-term impacts on the regeneration of young plants and seedlings.
And it’s now in New Zealand – sightings have been reported in Kerikeri in Northland, Waitara in Taranaki and Te Kuiti in Waikato.

If you see it, DO NOT TOUCH OR DISTURB THE PLANT. Please take a photo and call us immediately on 0800 80 99 66.

They are hand potted, in natural colours. They come in two parts - the bottom pot has water in it, the top pot has the dirt and plant in it. Water is sucked from the bottom to the top pot via a piece of stocking or rag that hangs down through a hole in the top pot and dangles in the water in the bottom pot, keeping the plant constantly watered at the right level. Great for people who forget to water plants! Call or text Kaye on 022 034 0115
