Welcome to New Zealand. We were in Howick until last year - it's a lovely part of Auckland, with some of the oldest history in New Zealand (150 years LOL!). Unlike many suburbs, it has a 'village centre' where you end up bumping into loads of people you know!

Hi
best wishes for the settling in process; limited knowledge of Howick, used to have a sister/family near there in Mellons Bay which seemed a nice area. And good fishing, used to go out with b-in-law in a small boat armed with rods and Saturday's NZ Herald - a no talking zone.
Right now I'm listening to the Howick Village Community Radio online - have a friend who is one of their volunteer announcers, whatever people may say about NZ accents I admit I like listening to some NZ voices for a change (just one other native English speaker in our town, and we don't mix socially!).

Howick is a great location, handy for South Auckland and with a good shopping centre. Have fun!

Hi I hope you are keeping well and still enjoying NZ. Just wondering if you're able to share whereabouts you started looking for places to rent ( I.e. agents, websites, etc). Thanks so much!
