Nicole's room

Furnished room in a three bedroom house in a quiet neighbourhood with a large garden and views of the lake. I’m still making improvements and restoring the garden after renting out the house while I was living in Wellington, but the house is clean and warm, if a bit tired looking. If you like growing veg, you’ll love the big veg patches which I’m planning to restore before the spring planting season. There’s a lockable garage parking spot you can use. Rent includes internet, most electricity and firewood. If you want to use a heater over the winter, you’ll be responsible for the extra electricity costs.

I’m 45, female, and live fairly quietly as I have quite a stressful job. I like to socialise but this isn’t a party house. The other resident is a small, super affectionate, black cat.
