House and Home

It was a quick turn around as living in a hotel, despite it being paid for by the union was quite expensive.

(Me at the Poenamo Hotel -still trying to get over the jet lag!)

Anyway, rental flats out here tend not to be unfurnished which meant our options were severely limited. We wanted somewhere close to the beach though and through "trademe", the kiwi version of ebay but where they buy, sell and rent everything, we decided upon the Jungle House.

But, the location is amazing -right on the beach between Takapuna and Miford on Auckland's North Shore. Okay, so its straight out the 70's but we're not looking for a trendy flat, just somewhere to base ourselves.
