Re: info needed on the following areas
Holiday, short term stay, long term? Not sure what you want to know.
Some of those places are small and none really compare to one another. Cant offer you any real advice on any one of them. We lived in the North Island for 4 years and I have only heard of 4 of them. How did you arrive at this list, have you been there yourselves and liked them, want more details about living there??

Re the Soccer/Football check out the Mainland Soccer website they run the football leagues for kids in NZ.
There are hundreds of junior kids teams, we found it much better than the UK. We are in Chc and there are probably 20 different clubs all with more than one team per year. They start from 5//6 upwards.

Hi
My disclaimer here would be that I don’t have children. So, I don’t really know a lot about primary schooling in those areas. Some of the areas are lower income (Naenae, Taita etc)but then again many of the houses are very nice inside and due to the time they were built (post WW2) are likely to have REALLY big backyards. Stokes Valley had a bit of a reputation for being a bit wild but personally I don’t think it is bad…bit close to the Rimutakas for my liking though (ie colder).
To be honest, it makes more sense to have a bit of a looksee when you arrive. Maybe stay in a motel when you first arrive (there are quite a few in Lower Hutt for some reason) and then go touring. All the places are relatively close together and you would get a far better idea.
Oh btw – in Wellington & the Hutt Valley, anything on a hill means three things
1. Often a great view
2. Blows like b*ggery
3. It’s a mountain. Its big. You don’t want to walk up it too regularly.
As for other things – all the areas are serviced by a decent bus service (as far as I am aware). But, if one of you is going to be heading into Wellington city at all then being near a train service or a more direct bus link would be better.
www.qv.co.nz (for a more ‘official’ description of the neighbourhoods)
www.ero.govt.nz (nz’s ofsted)
www.metlink.org.nz (public transport timetable)
www.trademe.co.nz (to find a house )
Interesting selection of suburbs your employer has given you though. Presumably you are working in Lower Hutt?
