New for Jan 2016
 
Hi everyone

I hope you can help me my husband and I are making the bold move from the UK to Auckland in January and was wondering what other people did for accommodation when they first arrived as I have been led to believe the rental property is in high demand and the offices will be closed at the beginning of January after Christmas. I start my job as a midwife on the 11th January. I thought about starting off in a holiday let. Looking forward to advice xx

I would suggest serviced apartments would be the way to go but you will have to book fairly sharpish to find one. gives you a chance to check out areas also so book for a couple of weeks if you can

In Auckland holiday lets are a bit harder to come by (depending where your job is) I would look at serviced apartment in and around the CBD.


Looking at the calendar, most businesses and offices will be open from Tuesday 5th January - albeit with fewer staff. Many people will still be out of town on leave and drifting back to their posts from the 11th onwards.

Airbnb is another good source. Lots of long term options for Auckland.
