Living Guide to New Zealand
GETTING TO KNOW THIS SPECTACULAR COUNTRY
Auckland
A diverse culture and strong economy make Auckland a popular choice for new migrants. The city offers a wide range of job opportunities across the finance and business sectors as many large international corporations call this city home. A laid back lifestyle and temperate climate make for great living conditions, and when combined with great education and healthcare, this city can be an excellent option for professionals and families alike.
Hamilton
With a very relaxed attitude to everything, Hamilton is a great choice for anyone looking to live and work in a smaller city than Auckland without being too far away to visit or access its services. This makes Hamilton incredibly attractive and it is constantly growing and gaining speed in key industries. Hamilton also boasts Waitomo Glowworm Caves and the Hobbiton village movie set.
Wellington
Labelled the “Coolest little capital in the world” Wellington is a city full of charisma and charm. In 2011, Lonely Planet ranked it the world's 4th top city to visit and it's not hard to see why – whether you’re taking a stroll across Mount Victoria or through the Wellington Botanic Garden, there are breathtaking sights and scenery at every turn.
Christchurch
Known as the “Garden City”, Christchurch certainly combines its city stature with a love of flora and fauna. Christchurch is an area that’s currently experiencing rapid growth and by the year 2028 it’s expected that there will be an additional 50,000 homes in the Greater Christchurch area - and this period of growth provides an ideal opportunity for skilled migrants and families looking to relocate.
