Living in New Zealand
|
A Recipe for LivingDiscover why New Zealand is not just a great place to work but how we Kiwis enjoy life outside of work, which we call work-life balance. It is also a fantastic environment to bring up children as well as feeling safe and secure.

Balanced LifestyleNew Zealanders enjoy a balanced lifestyle with great career opportunities and plenty of time for recreational activities. Outdoor activities are abundant, including water sports, snow sports, extreme sports, as well as some of the most beautiful walks in the world.

Cost of LivingThe majority of expats will head to NZ's main cities of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, with Auckland being significantly more expensive.
In 2016 the government Statistics Department surveyed New Zealand households and the average weekly budget, including rent, utilities, health, transport, clothing, food and recreation came to $1299.90. |
A Warm WelcomeNew Zealand has a lively arts and culture scene, with plenty of opportunities to take in musical events, theater, film and comedy. Kiwis enjoy access to some of the world's best food and wine, and we're famous for our good old fashioned kiwi hospitality.

NZ is described as having majestic mountains, breathtaking fjords and amazing diversity of landscape from one island to the next. It beats out the likes of Italy, Iceland and South Africa in the affections of voters.

Safe and Secure
While feeling safe is a luxury in many places, it’s one that New Zealanders are accustomed to. We’re not saying serious crime doesn’t exist here - it does - but the rates are lower in NZ than in many other countries.
