a shot in the dark - for a new home

Keira from Greerton - Parkvale

Kia Ora, so we are looking for a new home 2-3 bedrooms in areas of Ohauiti, Pyes Pa, Gate Pa, Greerton, Oropi and the like. My husband works in the Kiwi industry so we need to be in good reach of the orchards of Pyes Pa. I am working on setting up my own business so I can be anywhere.

Is it completely unheard of to get rent of $350 these days in Tauranga?

We seek a cosy place that we can care for as our home, long term if need be. We love to grow our own veggies, so we do like a little/big patch of green. We don't smoke, nor drink though we love to bake, cook, share & eat! So if a kindly landlord or lady is out there looking for a respectable pair to care for your home as their home then we could be them.

Thanks to whoever reads.
Brilliant day to you,
Best wishes, Keira
