Best place to live in New Zealand?

Question from Zeke

Best place to live in New Zealand?
Hi, I'm looking to move to New Zealand in a few years, and I was wondering what the best city to live in is? Personally, I am very athletic and want to be experiencing the great outdoors. I want to live in an area where there are lots of little restaurants and shops around. I need to live where there is work and the housing is to be affordable. Thank you very much for your suggestions! 2010-07-29 10:30:51 Accepting Answers Category: Other - Australia

Great climate for outdoor activity, educational and social facilities 1st class. It has a nice blend of work and relaxation, is close to the coast and winter sports activities. A nice place to live.
