Have a 2 week trip to NZ next week, then back in the UK for a month, then off we go. Can't wait. We'll be living in Auckland, not sure where yet, and renting.

This has got to be the most complicated thing I've ever planned, what a mission and a half.

Hi Simon, welcome to BE

Pop over to the NZ forum and the members in there will be able to help out loads.
I actually went up to Auckland from Wellington on a road trip last week. CBD not my cup of tea but there are some nice suburbs around.

here's the link:

Hi Simon. Hope the move goes well. As Mrs F says, do pop in the NZ forum and join in with some of the topics. Plenty of folks to chit-chat with there.
