Lesley's room

Island Bay, Wellington 6023

We have a great room available at our place in Island Bay. The bedroom gets afternoon sun, and has french doors opening onto a deck. There’s tall trees around, and plenty of birdsong. It’s a restful peaceful location.

The room has a built in wardrobe. Happy to rent the room furnished or unfurnished.

The house is roomy - with fully separate kitchen, dining and living areas.

It’s about a 6 minute walk to the beach, coastal tracks and bus stops. The Island Bay village is 15 minutes walk - or hop on a bus. Village has great cafes, supermarket, takeaways, library, medical centre, post office…….

It’s easy access to the house - no steps. There’s safe, free on street parking.

We’re looking for relaxed, friendly, independent and considerate people. We all like it pretty clean and tidy - so we’re looking for that too!

We are fine with either long or short term flatmates.

Having friends over sometimes is all good - but this is not a party house.

$12 a week each pays for utilities and supplies - - - Internet, rubbish collection, loo paper, cleaning products and misc. household basics.

The power bill is divided each month - it’s around $25 over winter.

It’s a no smoking or vaping property.

I will live on the property in my tiny home from early 2027. I work in Film, in the Art Department. I also have a design studio in the main house. So I am a part of the whole set up, in a loose way.
