Do you have temporary accommodation available?

We are looking for a range of accommodation options for people who have moved or will have to move out of their homes temporarily while earthquake repairs are being undertaken. You may have a rental property, holiday home, large motel unit, rooms spare in your own home, an empty house while you travel overseas, a fully equipped sleepout, or something similar that would be suitable for rent.

Please either give us your details by clicking on List a property or call us on 0800 673 227 if you think you can help.
