I work in Mosgiel, it's a bit of a retirement town but there's some lovely houses going up. It only takes me 20 minutes to drive there from Dunedin every morning so if an extra 20 minutes commute doesn't bother you don't rule out living closer to Dunedin.

If you have any questions or need anything doing don't hesitate to PM me.

You're right. The daytime temperatures have dropped below 20 degrees this winter. Shocking!

We have met loads of people who have travelled the South Island and say it's fantastic, however, what's it like living there ? I know it's cold but so was Kent!!

We are both in our 40's, no kids, two dogs.

Thank you
North or South? neither. We tried both and still ended up in Australia.
