I moved to Christchurch and have been living here 7 years. Comparing it to Auckland, Wellington and Wanaka, first Christchurch is the only one out of these areas that doesn't have a housing shortage meaning inflated prices, Wellington isn't too bad but Wanaka and Auckland are both over priced and the salary doesn't reflect the higher cost of housing including Rent. Christchurch has in my opinion now the best quality of housing out of any City in New Zealand for the price. A double glazed modern new home can be purchased for $450,000 while add an extra $300,000 just for Auckland.
In terms of activities, if you are a big city person and love that urban lifestyle both Wellington and Auckland dominate in this regard, Christchurch is still good but Wellington has the best laid out CBD for things to do. Auckland is much busier yet again and while there is plenty to do it's population gives it a very different feel. Christchurch is still rebuilding which has come a long way since i arrived 7 years ago. If you are an outdoorsy person then Christchurch offers ALOT. There are numerous great beaches, two ski fields an hour away and plenty of cycling and mountain biking treks. Plenty of lakes and bays to bring the boat or kayak out to and some spectacular scenic walking treks. The diversity in the sports you can do is amazing or even just to soak in the tranquility
In terms of Climate: All 3 cities have the same amount of sunshine roughly ranging from 2100-2200 hours of sunshine annually which means they get more than enough good weather throughout the year. Auckland and Wellington have the mildest winters giving an average maximum temperature of around 14 degrees while Christchurch average winter max is around 11 degrees. Christchurch gets much less rain and hotter summers with temperatures regularly hitting 30 degrees while Auckland and Wellington get in the mid 20's but with higher humidity. Living in Christchurch year on year i find climate dictates your lifestyle so this is my experience. 7-8 months of warm-hot-warm weather which is usually from September-April. Spring and Autumn both come with their fair share of crazy weather where one day can be a southerly cold blast and the next day hot and sunny. Generally they are pretty good however. August and May are both mild-cool months and June and July are months where afternoons are mild and the nights and mornings are cold which can drop down to 0 degrees.
Wow! Thanks for the very thorough contribution Paddy ;)
Which city is good to live for seafood industry business and education of children age 10-18 ?
Thank you !
Wow, great information! 😀
how do you get the visa to stay permanently?
Great video guys. I live in Levin, 1.5 hours north of Wellington. It's a good town of about 20k people. Palmerston North is 40 mins north and is a great city that's growing more.
Thanks for sharing! Both are fantastic towns, we've been to both many times!
Thanks for your opinions. I'm I want to move to new-zealand for sometime to check out if it will become my future. I've already decided that Christchurch will be my place to start, because it's still a city in development after the earthquakes. I'm an IT System Administrator with more than twenty years experience, so I think it will be possible to find a appropriate job which will allow me to life in this amazing country.
There are IT jobs available in Christchurch yes. Good luck!
I'm from Christchurch. Definitely worth a look. Auckland, Wellington and christchurch are the main places for IT jobs in nz. Go for it.
your skills are in demand here . .you should have no trouble finding work where ever you choose :)
The Botanical Gardens in Auckland, Wellington & Christchurch are all wonderful - and idiosyncratic - and there are also similar (excellent, idiosyncratic) botanical gardens in Hamilton, Napier, New Plymouth, Dunedin and Oamaru, but of course if you're into gardens there are many interesting places to visit throughout New Zealand. It's called the Land of the Long White Cloud fundamentally because it is an island, in an ocean, where rainfall is frequent. In the south the climate is "temperate rainforest" and in the north the climate is "sub-tropical rainforest", but what you will see everywhere is "rain" and "forest" - well, sometimes people enjoy the scenery enough not to notice the rain!
Haha that is very true thanks for sharing Andrew, you rock!
Christchurch is definitely the best, the cheapest, the hottest temperatures in summer, fastest growing, close to ski fields, and it’s located in the South Island which is very attractive for tourist such as Mt Cook and lakes
Couldn't agree more!
as always thanks for your beautiful guides, i choose Christ-Church
Nice one! Thanks for sharing! Not long until your trip right?
@@NZPocketGuide yep , i hope so. lots of paper works needs to do
I choose Queenstown but the house in Queenstown very expensive and rental huu damn , but I change my mind to move Wallington !!
This spelling omg 😂
Muhammad Faiz Nice, What suburb? I’m from Wellington and suggest south eastern suburbs
Hi, Thanks for this informative video. My husband and I, wish that someday we gonna reach New Zealand to emigrate.
Best of luck!
Love my Auckland! 💕 thanks for a great video! To my family, it is the true NZ, the best of NZ, having the best of Kiwiana. People from all the countries of the world live here and contribute to the grandeur of this beautiful country!
But your Vlog was informative and well balanced, which I appreciated.
Thanks for the love mate!
Palmerston North makes sense, both economically and logistically.
Very true, thanks for pitching in!
Go Manawatu !!
Hi! I am from central Europe and am very much in love with NZ, I'd really like to visit or move there someday. I am only 17 so I guess I have some time left. I am working on becoming a professional musician, and I'm currently studying for a computer technician. I find it very difficult to choose which city would be the most suitable for just visiting, or even moving to someday. Awesome video and channel, cheers and a reply would be awesome!
Go for it! Wellington is both artsy and has a strong IT sector, so we would suggest this :)
Which places are best for manufacturing/engineering jobs/schools?
I've been pursuing Aerospace/Automotive Engineering opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region for years and I came across your UA-cam channel.
I'm loving the content already.
Hopefully I'll find all the answers I've been looking for.
Hamilton or Christchurch sounds like the best fit ;)
Loving your videos guys, very informative. Would you recommend moving to Tauranga as a first place to live in NZ?
Tauranga is a great place! Check this video out -> ua-cam.com/video/Ys1CvO4Pt-M/v-deo.html
You guys make a nice team and are putting out some wonderful videos. One note on this one: the background music was a little aggressive (loud and a bit too punchy). Request: please do a video on great places to live in NZ if you don’t like to drive (like Wellington which you mentioned in this video). E.g., Do you need a car in Christchurch? Nelson? QT, Wakana? KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Thanks for the tip! I agree, we now have much lower background music on our newest videos. Also, when it comes to cities without cars in NZ, there is pretty much only Welly :(
I'd either pick Auckland or Christchurch or Dunedin since my parents and I would consider these places to be affordable.
Nice one! When are you going to visit NZ? - Hit subscribe to get notified for our next live session so you can ask us your questions live, it's super fun! ;)
@@NZPocketGuide
That's the thing. I don't know when we'd go there yet since we have lots to plan.
Wellington has the red back spider by the way
Interesting!
I'm American I worry we won't be accepted in New Zealand. The main reason for wanting to move is so my children can get a better education than here in the states. What would be the best place for school age children?
Heya, we are more of a travel channel here so we wouldn't feel comfortable giving you this kind of life changing advice without enough information on the subject sorry.
Thank you for your honesty.
don't have any worries about being accepted here, we are open and friendly to any who come for a visit or to stay, it's part of our makeup :)
plus our education system is second to none . .just remember to treat people the way you'd like to be treated and the vast majority of Kiwi's will reciprocate :)
Thanks ....u guys are grt..i always enjoy ur video
Thanks for the love mate!
You guys are cool... Thanks for telling me about my own country Ive seen very little of
Thanks for the kind words Karl, it means a lot! Hopefully we'll make you want to travel New Zealand and see it all!
Would like to know on which city , job opportunity is higher in NZ ?
here you go -> ua-cam.com/video/rFFYzQmzJBE/v-deo.html
Sujay, it depends what you do for a living. If you have a degree and would like to live in rural NZ then think about becoming a teacher, as they are much in demand
@@SlapHappySewing , Hi, thank you for your reply... I am working in a bank and having experience of over 12 years. Where Should I get a suitable job like this or at all I may get related kind of jobs
@@sujayghosal6190 as the Pocket Guide says first thing would be to check the NZ immigration website. Have a look at the skill shortage lists and use them as a guide as to what NZ needs. Best of luck!
@@SlapHappySewing thank you
Thanks for the video! I don't really know much about new Zealand, what is the crime like and what city's would you say have the least crime?? Thanks
Not much to report, New Zealand is quite safe -> nzpocketguide.com/new-zealand-safe/
From Christchurch you can fly to any where in the world, even Antarctica.
Thanks for sharing!
Aside from the fact that Auckland does not look like the rest of NZ, Wellington has the highest rent in the country right now, so even though I really want to go there I don't know if it's very cheap, also there are a lot more jobs in Auckland :/
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Wellington central is indeed expensive, but the suburbs that we mention are actually cheaper than most suburbs in Auckland. Keep in mind that in Auckland there is also much much more applicants per jobs than in other parts of the country. The job available figure are incredibly misleading as we very often get feedback from people telling us how hard it is to get a job in Auckland compared to other parts of the country.
@@NZPocketGuide thank you so much for the info, I'll keep it mind!
No worries, if you have any question, leave them as comment on any of our video and we'll pick them up for our next live session :) When are you heading to NZ?
I’m from Auckland and the reason it’s more expensive is because of lack of housing. Investors (primarily Chinese) buy homes leaving them empty in order to resell it for profit in 10 or so years. This means less houses for the growing Auckland population which means the prices go higher in auctions
Isn’t it freezing cold in Christchurch? I did look at Martinbourgh as a place to live as it is relatively close to Wellington. Do u have videos of that area?
Haha Christchurch is not that cold! We have a video about Cape Palliser (not too far) and one about things to do in Wairarapa for you -> ua-cam.com/users/BackpackerGuideNZsearch?query=martinborough
Thanks for this advice really appreciated
Happy to help!
Very usefull video for me and firstly, thank you .Let me know about hamilton? Is it good for living?job opportunities ?
Good question, we'll cover it soon in the live sessions, join us at 8am NZ time on Sunday (Probably Saturday on your side of the world)
Are there opportunities for people who drive trucks for a living? Any semis on the road in New Zealand?
Yes New Zealand roads are full of semis :)
Plenty of truck jobs available.
but how windy is christchurch? so close to the coast is it cold?
It's really not that bad, unlike Wellington which is one of the world's windiest cities... haha
Thanks! ...but what about if I would be' an business owner and open a simple pizzeria just for take away....what could be a receptive place to do that?
Everybody likes good pizzas mate :)
@@NZPocketGuide so, you sugest me to try no matter what? 😄 I really hope to find my place in NZ and have success and luck!
I am just saying that all towns and cities would like a good pizzas as far as we know. We are more of a travel channel here so not the bestvplace to get business tips :(
Is there a job demand for IT professional outside of Auckland?
Yes, don't settle in Auckland :)
Hey wow, windy Wellington no. 1 on your list. May be I am lucky that I found job there. Excited to start exploring NZ from this cultural city.
No worries, glad we helped as usual ;) When are you heading to NZ by the way?
@@NZPocketGuide this March!!
Exciting!!!
Hi Abisehek, This is Surendar from chennai, im searching a job in newzealand in photography , may i get a job there brother,
Good day guys am a truck driver who plans to move to New Zealand what can I do and which city would you advise I base while in Nz
Heya! Best is to visit New Zealand first to see all the cities and choose which one you will enjoy, truck drivers are needed everywhere hehe!
Thank you am already working on my visa with hope I will be granted the visa
@@adeniyiolorunjuwon9846 🤞
Hi NZ pocket guide
I am in much love with NZ, in the midst of process in moving to NZ. If everything goes well, will be moving there in another 3 to 4 month. I am a nurse by profession. It would be highly appreciated, if you could suggest few cities which will be good to move with the family.
Best of luck! You may want to watch those videos about cities in NZ -> ua-cam.com/users/BackpackerGuideNZsearch?query=best%20cities
Palmerston North!
Which city would be great to live after retirement? (:
Any of them would be great to be honest :)
Price of tickets
Yoooo, I have a question also! If I am a surfer, skier and a photographer and I want to work the instructor. Where would be the best place to live ?
Christchurch has great surf and is not too far from the ski fields ;) You will love it. Check this out -> ua-cam.com/channels/alswELwoJNKTH32l544jkA.htmlsearch?query=christchurch
your best bet would be around Hamilton, it is close to Raglan (one of the premier surf breaks in the country) and Mt Maunganui, another surf hotspot . .plus you are a couple hours from the central plateau where the Turoa and Whakapapa ski fields are . .there are many small country towns which are better situated to both, as you will learn when you've spent a bit of time here :)
also New Plymouth . .you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon if you wish, though you need a pretty thick wet suit for the morning surf as the water temp in winter is cool to say the least (but that's nation wide when the ski fields are open lol)
Hi! Thank you for sharing loads of useful information about NZ.. It is appreciated.. I just would like to ask what are the best cities in NZ that offers job opportunities in the field of sciences (e.g. environmental science) and engineering? As well as on Geographic Information System (GIS)? Thanks a lot..
Wow! That is super specific. As a travel channel we won't be able to answer that for you sorry :(
@@NZPocketGuide no worries ☺️
No love for Stewart Island in the thumbnail?
Oh good spotting! We recently changed our thumbnail template so this issue won't appear anymore :)
A good place for a job as a mechanic. Also good school an affordable living.
Sorry this is a travel channel, we have no experience in mechanical engineering.
Go to Hamilton it’s full of petrol heads everywhere..they love their cars like V8s and it’s full of boy racers,beer and Rugby heads..great place for a mechanic..
@@donbrashsux what about civil engineers?!
@@znatureviews4976 yes loads of civil engineering projects on the go throughout nz
i am 50 and have my own business. how do i apply to move and live in NZ?
Please contact immigration New Zealand directly with this question :)
I am from Wellington but want to visit other cities how do you rate Hamilton?
There is a lot to do there but you will need your own car to get around. Check out our videos on the subjects -> ua-cam.com/channels/alswELwoJNKTH32l544jkA.htmlsearch?query=hamilton
Hi sir thank you very much for you excellent information and I want to know from cook island to Auckland have any cruise ship please let me know us
There are cruise ship yes, plus some from Australia too :)
Tell us about Invercargill ...
For sure, here are some videos for you -> ua-cam.com/users/BackpackerGuideNZsearch?query=invercargill
Im thinking about Dunedin to study in Otago Polytechnic and work... is it a good option? Looks like there are a lot of beatifull destinations nearby and not that expensive.
Great choice, you will love it :) Check this out -> ua-cam.com/channels/alswELwoJNKTH32l544jkA.htmlsearch?query=dunedin
I'll be coming to New Zealand this July. I know its winter time, any suggestions? I'm from a tropical country by the way.
Great question Gian! Is that cool if we pick up your question for our next live session? It will be next Sunday at 8am NZ time (Check out what time it is for you, it will be on Saturday probably)
@@NZPocketGuide Sure! Will be tuning in this Sunday!
Awesome! See you on Sunday in the live chat ;)

No worries ;) Feel free to send your questions if you have any ;)
I'm interested ilove this nice country and wederful people 😊😍💗 perfect
So nice
Thanks
Very welcome ;)
Hi guys. Which city is good for immigrants to get IT job easily?
We think that Wellington and Christchurch would be good choices :)
As a Kiwi, I think the youtubers exaggerate how different Auckland is. In fact I would say they VASTLY exaggerate. Auckland would be the best place to find an IT job easily. Wellington would be a very distant 2nd. And Christchurch would be like trying to find an IT job in a small city like Glasgow (Scot) or Belfast (NI) or Denver (USA) or Newcastle (AU). Like a lot of "tourists" they are only interested in what they consider a "real NZ experience" which usually entails moving to Queenstown (the do not really want to visit NZ, just say they did Tourists) or Wellington (the Hipster Tourists) or Wanaka (the so far up my arse, I am a travel writer Tourists).
Glen Be highly agree I’m from Auckland and AUT is probably the best uni for IT jobs
@@glenbe4026 there are tons of it jobs in Glasgow
@@glenbe4026 Spot on!
Je me disais aussi que je comprenais bien Robin 😂😂
Haha His Franglish is hillarious!
nice video but the music is way too loud, I couldn't finish watching the video, it's tiring.
Thank you for the feedback :)
Skii fields?
Here you go Nedal -> ua-cam.com/channels/alswELwoJNKTH32l544jkA.htmlsearch?query=ski+fields Was this helpful?
@@NZPocketGuide thanks im checking those out. I just found the term "skii field" weird. We call them skii resorts, or mountains. Field makes me think its just one flat area, with no trees or different types of terrain or something.
You should do Auckland
We have a lot of videos about Auckland -> ua-cam.com/channels/alswELwoJNKTH32l544jkA.htmlsearch?query=auckland but if there are any extra question, let us know, we'll be happy to help!
