Short-term furnished rental , Kensington, Whangarei

$820 per week , Available from 10 May , 1–3 months flexible

Ideal for professionals or small families in transition — relocating, on a work contract, between homes, or waiting for a build to finish. Move in with your luggage and settle straight in.

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and set down a private driveway, this is a home that genuinely feels removed from the world — yet sits right in the heart of central Whangarei. You'll hear the creek and the bush before you hear the street. It's that kind of place.

Inside, the Lockwood design delivers four double bedrooms, a master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, and a generous open-plan living area flowing to a covered deck. The home has character and warmth — it's been genuinely loved, not just dressed up for photos.

Arriving in May means you'll want to know the home will keep you warm. Insulation was fully upgraded just three months ago, the home is Healthy Homes compliant, and between two fireplaces and a heat pump you have real choices about how you heat the space. The home sits below the road in a sheltered bush setting — it's private by nature, and tenants who enjoy firing up a log burner on a winter evening will feel right at home.

Plenty of storage and private off-street parking. The established gardens include fruit trees and a mature herb garden you're welcome to pick from. Whangarei Sports centre and sports grounds and a variety of gyms are directly opposite.
