Re: North island or south island
Big thank you for all your advice and info on both islands, I guess we are all different and peoples likes and dislikes can vary. I guess there is good and bad on both island. My oh has had a job offer in the south (invercargill) right at the bottom it's sounds very quiet but very beautiful, only an hours drive to Queenstown which I believe is the place for extreme action and fab views.

Re: North island or south island
PS I do miss the accessibility of AKL as it's a 2 1/2 hour drive. A train service would make all the difference. I'm used to living an hours train journey from London, but hey! you can't have it all.
Hope this is helpful to others.

We are at the top of the South Island. Better climate on the South Island but isolating.
I'd go with Jay and Bill.
