What is Wellington, NZ like to live in


What is Wellington, NZ like to live in?
I want to migrate somewhere - either Australia or New Zealand. I've lived in Oz before so I know the culture, but what about New Zealand? I'm thinking Wellington would be a cool place to live. I want to live somewhere laid back, cool, with loads of cafes/ pubs/ music. I work as an RN so good hospitals and working conditions too. And hot men. What is the cost of living like there?

Great place to live. Good lifestyle and nightlife with a lot of cafes and music.The cost of living here is affordable and with many different ethnicities within the city so race is not a problem. Hot men I don't know cause I'm a guy I have to say people here are just normal and very friendly but you do get idiots once in a while.

Wellington is pretty sweet. I live here and today was a stunning day! The hospital isn't too bad, my uncle worked at the hospital and it's been called a bit unorganised, but there's Hutt Hospital, Kenepuru and smaller practices. Wellington has more restaurants and cafes and pubs per head than New York. There's always lots of live music. I've lived here for 3 years and I think it's a great city for families, young people, working professionals etc. I went to Scorching Bay last weekend, it was so nice. There's lots of places to go and visit. Cost of living isn't cheap, compared to other cities. I pay $160 a week for a 5 bedroom flat in town. Public transport is expensive and so is parking. I'd say it's cheaper than Auckland, but more expensive that Christchurch, Hamilton or Dunedin. We are the 'coolest little capital' =] ...

Welly is a great city. Creative, cosmopolitan, and community all at the same time. But it gets very windy. I lived there a long time. In the end, that was what did it for me. I moved north.
