Just Back From Recce!
Hi,
I,ve just returned from a recce trip to the North Island, I must say it exceeded all my expectations in all areas:thumbsup: I rented a car, drove from auckland to tauranga, visited rotorua, drove back to Auckland , then to hamilton and then back to Touranga then returned to auckland. I found a grate deal on car hire, varied accommodation and a cracking variety of local contacts, now friends (some met at local hostelries) and have a basic but essential overview of suburbs and schools in different areas. trip was a great success and recommended as a return to areas only defined that my first impressions where correct:thumbsup::thumbup: Attended 5 interviews, 2 very positive, all arranged by BBT who proved excellent and free! we now know where we want to be and are aiming for early next year. I will post a detailed thread or two soon, otherwise if I can help with questions please ask. Hope to be back in NZ soon:thumbsup::thumbsup: |
Re: Just Back From Recce!
It is an attractive country in many ways, true.

You didn't say what your favourite place was and where you are intending to live. Nosey - ;) I know.
