Are you moving to New Zealand ?
New Zealand is one of the world’s best places to live and retire, best place to raise your family. It has a very pleasant climate, great beaches, a wide variety of outdoor activities, cultural attractions, free health care (for the most part), a good educational system, economic freedom, a lack of corruption and attractive, modern cities.
Known for the stunning landscapes featured in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings.
New Zealand is comprised of two big islands called North Island and South Island, plus numerous smaller islands.
It is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and is very geographically isolated.
Its nearest neighbors are Australia, which is 1242 miles to the northwest, and New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga to the north.
The population of New Zealand is 4,334,000, the majority of whom are of European descent.
The largest minority are the native Maori. There are also a significant number of non-Maori Polynesians and Asians – especially in urban areas.
If you're thinking of moving to New Zealand, you'll need to decide where you're going to live.
Learn more about best places to live in New Zealand here, and decide where in the country you should settle.
Here're the 10 best places to live in New Zealand for 2018.
1. Wellington, the capital of New Zealand.
2. Taranaki.
3. Dunedin.
4. Auckland.
5. Rotorua.
6. Christchurch.
7. Queenstown Lake District.
8. Selwyn.
9. Nelson.
10. Waikato.
If you are moving to live in New Zealand and you’re really not sure where you want to settle, Auckland can be a great place to begin, you can rent accommodation easily within the city and it has fantastic transport links for the rest of the nation.
But be sure to use these transport links, explore the North and South Islands and find the location that best suits you before you buy a home or even commit to living in New Zealand full time.
Whilst the nation is not vast or overpopulated, it does encompass such an impressive array of geographically different regions that it would be a crime not to explore far more of the country than its leading city before you settle on a place in New Zealand to call home.
Thanks for watching this video. I hope it's useful for you.

Welcome To Nelson New Zealand

Welcome to Nelson, New Zealand from a boaters view point. Entering the stunning harbor from Tasman Bay you are greeted by NZ fur seals, gannets, seagulls and little blue penguins. The harbor hosts many yacht clubs that teach the kids how to sail, sea swimming events and of course fishing. As you proceed up the harbor you pass Port Nelson which is the biggest port in Australasia for fishing vessels as well as the hub for cargo ships up to 240 meters in length. Further north in the harbour you enter into the large marina area for both commercial and pleasure craft. Vessels up to 20 meters in length can be accommodated with ease but it pays to book in as it gets very busy over the summer months. The small boat ramp is a hive of activities as Nelson host more boats per capita than almost anywhere else in New Zealand. The commercial area around the marina is full of engineering firms that can fix or build almost anything you can think of with experts in most fields. There are small chandlery shops dotted amongst the water front restaurants that have stunning seafood dishes. The drive along Rocks Road waterfront is stunning where you will see yachting, paddle boarders, boating, kayaks on the water with land based activities including walking , running, fishing from the roadside to name a few. As you travel more South you come across Tahunanui Beach, one of the best swimming beaches in New Zealand. Nelson has some fantastic cycling tracks and more getting added each year. Add to all the above world class wineries, international renown glass blowing, ring making and Trout fishing you have just a little taste of what this stunning area has to offer. Watch the video and come for a visit, we would luv to have you here to share some of the best of Gods own country.
