Hi there
four weeks today and we'll have just taken off from Heathrow airport. Scary!

On a long list of jobs to do when we land is to find a rental - can anyone reccomend rental agencies that cover Pinehaven,silverstream,Stokes valley etc

Ideally I'd like to make some contact with them now to see whats available

Cheers for any help

Hi
The gillies group advertise rental in the Upper Hutt leader (local paper)
www.gilliesgroup.co.nz
You need to talk to Janine Tweedale
Other than that try www.trademe.co.nz or the dominion post on a Wednesday and Saturday.

Hi there,
I’ve personal had farcical experience of Gillies Group (as an owner not renter). I found them to be disorganized, unprofessional, apathetic, lazy, incompetent and inept in the extreme.
I did manage to focus their minds in the end (think Sybil Fawlty & O’Reilly the builder) although I virtually did their job for them, and have thus had no problems with them since.
So I guess you pays your money, you takes your choice.
Q: Would I recommend them
A: I Think not
Defiantly check-out Trademe
Best of luck
James

Sorry I can't remember who I had contact with at Gillies, but I thought they did all right when I was looking at rentals in Upper Hutt. Their agents actually returned my phone messages, which wasn't the norm for other companies:roll
