Where to live in NZ...

We are all over the place with this decision, we have had dreams of living in Dunedin at first then we realised that its the most drizzly place in NZ, not confirmed of course just a rumour ha ha, then we moved further north having dreams of Christchurch which is still on the cards....but then as we are going 12,000 miles why not move to the warmest and highest sunshine area in NZ ? why not I say...

So now our dream area is now in the north of south Island we really need work of course so although we are interested in Picton or Nelson we may need to consider Blenhiem in Marlborough for employment, there are also more schools there....in the centre of the wine making area of NZ.



Its tough though and as we have never been to NZ we wont really know until were there, but were sure that the north Island doesn't really offer us much in comparison to the south as we want access to the Alps and National Parks as well as the stunning sounds around the area. We are also interested in the area as getting to Wellington for the weekend is easily accessible..for those big shopping days for the big ticket purchases...

If you have any thoughts on preferred areas, let us know. I am sure we will change our minds again when things like rental costs and house prices and employment come into the eqaution nearer the time, I say this as to get a gaurenteed place in the country all Stephanie has to do is secure employment which gives her 50 points alone, when she has had her qualifications verefied she can apply for jobs, it may come down to where these job are that will determine where we stay, in reality Christchurch may have more oportunities in this regard.



we will keep you posted.
