Gidday, not long until you make the move.

NZ is known for '4 seasons in one day' - so be prepared and bring your winter and summer clothes!

Check out trademe.co.nz or gumtree.co.nz for maybe a short term room rent, as will be cheaper than a hostel. Or else yes there are a few hostels, google them.

You can visit Hamner Springs hot pools, 1.5hrs, or Akaroa is bout 1 & 1/4 hours.

Good luck

You know that huge collection of clothes you need for Ireland? That wet weather gear, sun hat, shorts, t-shirt, thermal fleece & wooly socks?

Pack it all
