Manurewa, Auckland 2105

Looking for a comfortable, welcoming place to call home in Manurewa? This cosy room at the back of the house offers a quiet retreat with plenty of natural light and a cheerful pink and purple colour scheme. Tucked away on a peaceful street, the location gives you the best of both worlds—privacy and easy access to everything you need.

You’ll be minutes away from the motorway, local shops, and buses connecting you to Manukau and nearby train stations. Plus, the Southern Campuses of Auckland’s universities are within reach, making this ideal for students or professionals. And when you need a break from it all, the beautiful Auckland Botanic Gardens are just a stone’s throw away.

The room is advertised as unfurnished, but if needed, I can provide some furniture to help you settle in. The house is spacious and welcoming, with plenty of shared spaces where you’re free to relax. While it has a lived-in feel, with a bit of “cluttered charm,” it’s professionally cleaned regularly, and a gardener takes care of the lawn. Tea, coffee, and basic kitchen essentials are included, so you can start your day without worry.

If you’re looking for a home where you can be part of a relaxed household, this could be the perfect fit!

You’ll be sharing the house with two of us: myself (your friendly semi-retired tech consultant, working from home most days and involved in a few charities), and one other boarder — a vet nurse student in his 30s with a laid-back, outdoorsy vibe. He’s sociable, helps out with the garden, and brings a good energy to the house. While he might look a bit tough at first glance, he’s a bit of a softie underneath — especially when it comes to animals.

Speaking of which, he shares the house with two rescued cats. Foxy is a smoky grey long-hair with a bold personality, while Oscar is a shy short-hair who tends to keep to himself. They mostly do their own thing, but you’ll likely see them around from time to time.

The atmosphere here is relaxed, respectful, and lived-in. We’re looking for someone who’s a good fit — someone friendly, responsible, and happy to share space in a way that makes home feel like home.
