The NZ Herald's 5 best & worst towns to live in

Thanks for the information on Dunedin. Just a small bit of bedtime reading from the downloaded brochure. Don't suppose you know if there are Karate clubs or martial arts clubs in Dunedin?

Using yellow pages there seem to be plenty: link here
One of the instructors (Geoff Todd) is a bit of an international guru in close combat for special forces.

Hi all,

If all goes according to plan (does it ever?) we'll be moving to Wellington when the (ever hopeful) job offer comes through. Can anyone recommend areas to live? I'm not bothered about a commute (I say that now!) but want somewhere, ideally, that has good schools and is a good child area (out of the wind). All thoughts appreciated, as you can only get so much from reading websites!

Thanks for that info- went on Yellow pages and found quite a few clubs. So at least Dunedin seems like it will supply me and my son with a hours of leisure time. (If you can call kicking butt, leisure time)
