The only time I went to matamata was for the interview and for a day to look around and it certainly wasnt for us. Too quiet, too rural and definately not for us.. we had set our hearts on living near to the beach and we stuck to that and then found work within a few weeks. We have been here ever since and the lifestyle here has far exceeded our expectations. There is so much work here but people want to see you face to face.

good luck and PM me if you want

Oh, yeah, there are earthquakes all over NZ. I don't know about there being 3-5 a day. i felt one the whole time I was there and it just felt like a lorry driving passed - nothing more.

I would agree with Mount/Papamoa/Tauranga area, there's plenty of work and opportunities here, to help research the area look at www.priorityone.co.nz and you can join their email list for all the jobs advertised in the Bay of Plenty times, useful to get an idea and build up a few contacts.:thumbsup:

when are you planning on coming over? what sort of work are you looking for? what sort of house are you after?

on the priority one website there are links to employment agencies in the area. If you go on to Taylor Graham Associates and contact a lady called Olivia she is great, she found me my job and we have remained in contact since.

Where abouts in essex are you from?

think thats enough questions from me now!!!!

well done on selling your house too
