Looking for a great room in the country near Papakura with a friendly family environment?
About Us: We are a warm and friendly family with two young children. Nadine works in education and Martyn in digital design. Faith is important to us and we are part of a local multicultural community church.
We enjoy creating a relaxed, respectful home and occasionally sharing meals together. We share chores and set aside a weekly cup of tea to stay connected and chat through any flat matters as they arise.
You’re welcome to invite friends and family over, and you’re also welcome to join us when ours visit — there’s no need to disappear when life is happening.
The Home: Our character villa sits on a rural lifestyle block with gardens, visiting horses, and plenty of birdlife (Pukekos, Tuis, Kererū). It’s private and surrounded by nature — with the normal hum of family life that comes with two young children.
The Location: Country feel, yet close to everything:
Drury – 7 mins
Papakura / train station – 10 mins
Takanini – 15 mins
Manukau – 20 mins
Airport – 35 mins
Mountain biking and tramping are nearby in the Hunua Ranges. Clevedon markets, beautiful beaches, and Miranda Hot Pools are all within easy reach.
Who We're Looking For: We’re looking for a female flatmate who:
Is working/studying full-time
Is comfortable living in a family environment with young children
Values open, respectful communication
Is happy to have a brief weekly cup of tea check-in
Enjoys occasional shared meals (optional)
You’ll have your own private space, and we value a home where people feel comfortable engaging openly. Being at ease around young children is important — there’s no expectation of babysitting, just enjoying a family environment.
Rent and Expenses: $235 per week total ($190 rent + $45 weekly expenses) Paid one week in advance.
Food: Food is separate, with the option to share meals with our family if you’d like. Optional shared dinners (~$75/week if joining regularly) or you’re welcome to cook independently.
Bond: Three weeks' rent ($570).
Contact Us:
If this sounds like a good fit, please send a short introduction about yourself and what you’re looking for in a home. We look forward to hearing from you 🙂
