An excited Hello from Wales
Hi there
My name's Alison and myself and my 2 teenage children are in the process of getting a residency visa with a view to moving in april 2011!!
We're really excited having been to nz in february 2010 to visit friends and loving every moment we were there!
Maybe looking to move to the hibiscus coast, the girls are taken with the idea of a beach lifestyle, but our friends currently live in the east .. maraetai/beachlands area.
Any hints and tips about moving would be gratefully received!!!
Love the forum already picked up some good advice reading from others experiences!

Hi both and welcome!
You are definately making the right decision... we have been here 2 months and LOVE it!
We are on the Hibiscus Coast (Stanmore Bay) and its fab. Beaches everywhere, great place for adults and kids.
Any Q's I'd be happy to help, know how stressful the whole process can be! Deffo worth it tho!

Hi Vik, Yes it has been really informative, April feels ages away when you're waiting, the kids are awfully impatient he he!
and Hello Flowerpot! Stanmore Bay ... that's where we are hoping to end up, rental prices seem to stretch a bit further there, having spent a little time trawling on trade me nz lol!!
Do you find that the area is a reasonable distance to the northern auckland regions? I understand they have a new expressway there now making it a more accessible area. Asking becasue the nearest hospital for me to work in would be northshore or waitakere city

Yeah your right, more for your money in Stanmore, also Gulf Harbour is reasonable but you'd be adding an extra 20 mins onto your journey!
Good luck! x
