Go for it it's a beautiful part of the world but by no means is it easy, but then that's life i guess " You get out what you put in" and if your determined then it'll work.
Whereabouts are you heading??

Hoping for Auckland, or somewhere else on the North Island. We have also considered Wellington.

Hi,

I had a great time on Auckland's north shore,it seemed to tick most of the boxes. Started off in Milford,then had the opportunity of a lifetime to rent a house on Cheltenham beach,Devonport. This was the view out of our back window :-

Pretty much all the amenities you need plus security,nightlife (Takapuna),restaurants (Devonport) and the Waitakere(tramping) an hours drive and loads of great beaches. I have to laugh
when people slate off NZ as a 3rd world country !! That and Kiwi's complaining about their 40min commute across the bridge in the morning .... you have no idea try the Old Kent Road in rush hour !
Well I'm stuck here in Blighty for the time being but when the job fizzles out you never know. Remove rose tinted specs now !!
