Could our 4 bedroom furnished suite on upper Maitland Street be your new home for 2015?

Here are some photographs of what you can enjoy if you sign up for 2015.  4 Bedrooms for $460 per week

See the 'Suites' tab of the Nest Studios and Suites website for further information: www.studiorooms.co.nz

This makeover was thanks to some rogue tenants in 2013 who spilt purple nail polish all over the near-new cream carpet giving us the opportunity to recarpet. While we were at it we purchased some nice furniture for the rooms. Unfortunately our insurer Vero found an out clause by saying this was malicious damage rather than an accident so as landlords we were left to pick up the bill. Nice. 

Now signing for 2015

We have just set the rents for 2015 and are pleased to report there have been minimal rent increases. A number of existing tenants have already re-signed for next year so it isn't too soon too think about where you want to live for 2015.

Coming Soon: further 1 and 2 bedroom NEST suites

We have two suites for rent in this NZ Historic Places registered property with full renovations completed in 2014. It is a superbly sunny, warm brick house with porch. Located just steps away from Dunedin main street and great local cafes - Nectar, Mojo, Zucchini Bros and they whole foods store/eatery Taste Nature.

One suite is fully furnished while the second is partially furnished with white-ware and a heat pump to keep you toasty warm over the cooler winter months.

Style and a little bit of a luxury for an affordable weekly price. Rents to be confirmed.

Contact us at info@studiorooms or 0800 MYNEST if you would like further information or to arrange a viewing.

In addition to these we have a number of flats and the rents for these further properties will be the subject of another blog within the next week. We have flats in the following areas: Royal Tce (2 bdrms);  Maitland St ( 1 bdrm; 4 bdrm); Harbour Tce ( 5 bdrms x 2) and Kaikorai Valley Road (1-2 bdrms).

Consistent with our commitment to make desirable accommodation available at affordable prices, we have not increased many of our rents and most remain at the 2013 level.

Interior upgrade at 146 Queen St Studio Rooms

All rooms at our 146 Queen Street studios have been upgraded with new wall mounted LCD or plasma TVs in readiness for the Digital switchover in April 2013. The TVs all feature Freeview.

While you were relaxing over the Xmas/New Year break and enjoying a week off work with your feet up Cam was painting bedroom walls at our Queen St property. He also purchased and hung new curtains and added contemporary furniture to the rooms to create a more neutral, modern decor with bright accents.





Alan from Dunedin's WOW carpet cleaners did a great job cleaning the carpets.

Upstairs at 102 Harbour Tce - new renovation

We have just completed another renovation. This time it was the upstairs flat that we own at 102/2 Harbour Tce.

Once the tenants vacated we primed her from head to toe and look at her! Rented for 2013. Check out the view of Logan Park.

Its prime campus location and proximity to several Halls of Residences makes it very desirable for students who are attending the University of Otago. Ph 0800 MYNEST to inquire about renting this property for 2014.
