remote holiday houses

Colin from Wilton

Hi, would anyone know of a company which lists holiday houses without close neighbours, e.g remote houses. A bach would do the trick if no close neighbours. It's hard to find such a house with the usual suspects Airbnb, bachcare bookabach..... etc.
Or if anyone has such a place themselves … View more
Hi, would anyone know of a company which lists holiday houses without close neighbours, e.g remote houses. A bach would do the trick if no close neighbours. It's hard to find such a house with the usual suspects Airbnb, bachcare bookabach..... etc.
Or if anyone has such a place themselves and can lease it out, North Island, I'd be interested to hear more!

Many thanks

Can anyone lend me this book please?

Sheenagh from Karori

Death and the Maiden by Ariana Franklin and Samantha Norman.
The library doesn’t have it and isn’t willing to purchase it. Bit odd considering they have the rest of the series.
I love books and look after them, no dog ears !

Message: Are you concerned about pest wasps?

These pests are introduced species, NOT our native wasps. They are five species giving the others a bad name. The survey is being undertaken by the Moths and Butterflies of NZ Trust as they have real concerns about our environment.

New Zealand may experience strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges at the shore following a magnitude 8.7 earthquake off the East Coast of Russia at 2025-07-30 11:25 AM.

New Zealand may experience strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges at the shore following a magnitude 8.7 earthquake off the East Coast of Russia at 2025-07-30 11:25 AM.

Strong currents and surges can injure and drown people. There is a danger to swimmers, surfers, people fishing, and anyone in or near the water close to shore.

People in or near the sea in the following areas should move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas and away from harbours, marinas, rivers and estuaries.

AREAS UNDER THREAT:
ALL COASTAL AREAS OF THE NORTH ISLAND, GREAT BARRIER ISLAND, THE SOUTH ISLAND, STEWART ISLAND, and the CHATHAM ISLANDS (updated: 3.02pm, 30/07/2025)

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE IN AREAS UNDER THREAT:
STAY OFF THE BEACHES AND SHORE AREAS

People on boats, live-aboards and at marinas should leave their boats/vessels and move onto shore. Do not return to boats unless instructed by officials.

There is no need to evacuate other areas unless directly advised by local civil defence authorities. Coastal inundation (flooding of land areas near the shore) is not expected as a result of this event. We are advising people to:
- Move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas and away from harbours, marinas, rivers and estuaries.
- Do not go to the coast to watch the unusual wave activity as there may be dangerous and unpredictable surges.
- Listen to local civil defence authorities and follow any instructions.
- Share this information with family, neighbours and friends.
- Strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges will continue for several hours and the threat must be regarded as real until the Civil Defence states otherwise.

The situation may change as new information becomes available. Listen to the radio or TV for updates, or check www.civildefence.govt.nz...

Poll: Are the guidelines around when a child is too sick for school clear?

A few weeks ago, the Neighbourly team shared a round of complaints over our morning cuppa about the challenges of juggling runny noses and work commitments.

After reading Flip Grater's opinion piece, Playing germ roulette with our kids’ health, we felt a collective sense of relief - another parent shares our niggling worries.

We wanted to check in with our online neighbours: do you feel the same way? We are all busy, and keeping children home from school is sometimes impossible given other responsibilities. Busy lives and the apparent loss of collective energy around monitoring cold symptoms have led to more students and staff in shared spaces with sniffles and coughs.
But what do you think? Is this a concern?

We want to know: Are there clear Guidelines on when to keep kids off of school?
Should we be having a nuanced conversation about risk management, and how to better support working families?
Share your opinion with us below!
