Flatmates or boarders Wanted We are currently full untill the end of April
Last Updated (21 April 2012)We are currently looking for , easy going, openminded, reasonably quiet, flatmates to share our country abode.
Pets negotiable, neighbour's cat(s) + one black stray, spayed female, hang out here a lot....
Prefer to share cooking - we usually all eat together at the big dining room table
Kitty runs at $50 per week per person, (record kept on a shared google spreadsheet) includes toothpaste, cooking gas bottle and food
3 rooms, 1) $135 + expenses ($10 cheaper per week, for Automatic Payments)
2) $125 + expenses
3) $100 + expensesexpenses are currently running at $30 per week for power, telephone, and internet.
Or you could take the boarding option of $240/week where you don't have to worry about cooking, or cleaning, We'll even do your laundry (although we would draw the line at ironing your underwear). Note this would not preclude you from cooking should you wish to have a go occasionally, again the boarding rate would be $10/week cheaper when paid with auto payments.
Dining Room fire place has a wetback
We have had 3 Daikin heat pumps installed
High Speed Internet (with wireless or cable) download speed up to 1MB/s from www.scorch.co.nz, cabled to each room
2 living areas available to you (lounge and dining room)
Free to Air TV (no one except me seems to want SKY)
We have a pool and tennis court as well, plus fishing literally at the back door - seen a lot of seriously big trout cruising around there (we are located next to The Selwyn River)
There's also an orchard there with an abundance of pears, apples and plums over the summer,
implement shed for car parking,
breadmaker
big laundry
Polished wooden floors (carpeted bedrooms)
ride on lawnmower and a dingy
we have chooks too so there are free free-range eggs. About 7 per day at present, when we can find them :-)
Andrew Regularly goes collecting trailer loads of firewood from a neighbour's farm, so there's always plenty to burn
less than 10 minute's drive to Lincoln Uni (13.5km)
scroll down to see photos of the place
Note this is a gay friendly, nudism friendly, house
Call Andrew or Yi-Ming on 329 1068 or 021 997798 (afternoons and evenings is better - cheers :-)
