MAGNOLIA HOUSE AND CO LIVING POLICY
Boarding houses description. (also represents Co Living)
In a Co living house, a tenant rents a room, rather than the whole house. They share facilities such as the kitchen and bathroom with the other tenants. As with a boarding house, Turret and Magnolia Houses are occupied, or intended to be occupied by short- and long-term stayers.
Bronwyn (owner) currently lives in Turret House and looks after the cleaning, maintenance and gardens of Magnolia House.
Depending on the rooms available, currently 2 (210 and 204), there will be tourists coming in, quite often in and out for 1 night. I also do have regulars who stay for a few nights.
The normal occupation is a couple in the apartment and singles in 201, 203,204 and 205.
Current tenants are all working and keep very much to themselves in their rooms. All rooms have a TV.
The landlord of a boarding house is allowed to make house rules. These set out how the boarding house can be used and enjoyed, and what services will be provided. The landlord can change the rules at any time but must give each tenant at least seven days’ written notice of the new rules.

BRONY'S BEACHFRONT
Today, the property remains the summer house of the whanau. Large Christmas gatherings are a regular event with many visitors sleeping over in tents on the lawn. The house is remarkably original by modern standards with most items mentioned in Mrs McDonalds rental advertisement in 1898 still remaining, including the bathing house, garage, detached wash house and the piano. The convenience of an inside bathroom was only added in 1995.
Exnells has been in the same family since 1915 dating back to Alice Coombs. There are now many family shareholders all of whom hold a stake in its heritage, history and also its future.
Exnells was 120 years old in 2017.
