So I'm thinking of taking a trip to NZ with my family in July and staying for about a month so we can visit a few cities and get an idea about Kiwi life. Are hotels reasonable there or are there other places I can stay? We don't need anything fancy.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
Yikes that could get pricey if we are there for a month. When I have a better idea of our travel route I'll post up again for some advice.
I would much rather visit during the summer of course, but since my wife has the summer off (our summer) it works out. Hopefully we can travel back during your summer again before making our final move.
Hi Diego.
Look into the Waikato area.
1 1/2hrs from Akld, Hamilton, Waikatos main town is the power house of the Dairy industry in NZ, (the main export earner).
Outdoors lifestyle aplenty, (Hunting, fishing,bushwalking etc)
Much cheaper lifestyle block purchacing than the Akld area.
Great Rd riding and ADV riding, (not as good as the sth for scenery)
Jobs aplenty in Management, etc.
Worth considering.
Typing this wile looking out at Pirongia mtn, on a 1acre block, and i'm a lowly paid kiwi.(must mow the lawns, gahhh..............
Hope it works out.
have a look at http://www.reddit.com/r/newzealand/ and in particular the stuff about "moving to nz" if you haven't already.
And welcome.![]()

you poor deluded soul, the south is the powerhouse in dairy now, who the fuck in his right mind wants to be that close to auckland, wayyyyyyy more hunting and fishing opportunities down south and even more on the west coast, way better money and conditions in management down south,
way better roads and road riding opportunity as well as adv riding down south as well,
wouldn't even consider living in the Waikato myself and I'm ex BOP
Welcome Disco. Its a hard ask to give you easy answers. Certainly you can buy a small rural home with some land but that is also the Kiwi Dream so affordable properties tend to be in provincial regions where there isn't a lot of work.
You could move to Wyoming/Idaho/Nebraska/the Dakotas, even New Mexico and find property there. If I was you I'd look hard at Wyoming and New Mexico.
But...ok, New Zealand is a secret paradise and yes you'd be happy if you moved here. It really is a wonderful and beautiful country.
