Headwaters Eco Lodge, located in Glenorchy, is seeking a maître d’ for our summer

season, November 25 – May 26.

Please click here for more information.

Moving to a smaller home so can't take it. Works well and comes with the manual and stool.  This will be ideal for someone teaching music, school or home.

Hi everyone  

We’re a couple from the Philippines, both working full-time in Glenorchy. We’re tidy, respectful, and always pay rent on time. Non-smokers and not party people. We like to keep our space clean and quiet, and we’re easy to get along with.

We’re looking for a one bedroom house with an en-suite, or a small studio - something comfortable and private for two people. We’re happy to provide references if needed.

If you know of anything available from the end of November, or have a place coming up, please send us a message.
Thanks so much!

Local in her mid thirties returning home after ten years overseas. I’m looking for a long or short-term rental from February next year (flexible). Professional, clean and tidy, non- drinker/non-smoker. I will treat your house as if it were my own and can provide exceptional references.

Thanks in advance! I’m looking forward to coming home.

Becky.

Sustainable Glenorchy Market Day

Sustainable GY will be holding its Market Day on Saturday 6 December, at the Hall.

We'd like there to be food, music, lots of arts and crafts, plants, secondhand books, DVDs, clothes and other stuff to help people out with their Christmas present-buying, as well as lots of customers, but we need your help! So please consider having a stall of your own (it will cost $5-10 per table, to cover Hall hire costs) and if you haven't already done so, text Karen on 022 499 4292 to let her know what kind of things you'd like to sell (or give away).

Kia Ora  Glenorchy 

We’re a couple in our early 70s. We’ve lived on a lifestyle block on the outskirts of Gisborne for 45 years. 

I’m originally a South Islander and as I child, my family owned a crib in Arrowtown long before it became a tourist mecca. 

My relationship with the area runs deep. My skin literally tingles when we drive over Burke’s Pass into the Mackenzie Country. I have alpine lakes, braided rivers, glaciers, snow-capped mountains and beech forests in my veins. 

We do a pilgrimage to the South Island twice a year to ‘fill up our senses’. We love it for the grandeur of the landscape and access to the wilderness, off-road adventures, 4WD expeditions, hiking, biking, skiing, golf and fishing.  

But now we’re getting on in years, we find ourselves longing for a stake in the land we love so much. We don’t want to be visitors here any more. 

We’ve recently purchased a fully self-contained off-road caravan and would like to buy or lease or share a little plot of land somewhere in Glenorchy - a home base to park our caravan between road trips. 

We wonder if there are others who have a similar yearning for the area who might like to join us to buy or lease or share land here. Or a rural landowner with a paddock to sell or lease. 

We would envisage spending 3-6 months a year on the property once we’ve both stopped working. I’m a writer and would like to use my skills locally in conservation work. 

Contact me on 0211513940 if you’re interested or you know of someone who might be keen.

Ideally somewhere I can set up a market garden and contribute to the property while earning a living locally.

So if you have a property you need help to take care of or develop, and are looking for like-minded people with useful skills and a passion for the land please contact Carla at carlazed@hotmail.com

Kia Ora, I participated in the Spring challenge at the weekend (huge thanks to everyone who volunteered for the event!) and my amazing support person. Unfortunately I lost my bangle.

It is a Pandora, hinged bangle, with cubic zirconia along one side in a pattern like the ring in the attached picture (on my middle finger!) but smaller like the one on my other finger.

I'd be super grateful if anyone finds it as my husband gave it to me for our 15th wedding anniversary and they don't make them anymore. 

Thank you
