Nick,
What about New Plymouth? I have nothing but fond memories from when I lived there as a child, went back last April and wasn't dissapointed. Sure there would be work opportunities for both of you there. Should there be work for an IT Project Mgr there, is definately an area we would consider for when we make the move later this year.
Maybe send Rimbo a PM, as he's quickly becoming a 'local' there
Enjoy the research

OK, so as a waikato lad, I may be biased, but the waikato...namely hamilton, sounds like the sort of place you may have in mind, large hospital, good schools, plenty of work (Waikato would be, apart from Akld, the most prosperous region in NZ), sounds like your sorta place. The other suggestion of Tauranga is a very good one too, much more a lifestyle choice too, being a seaside resort type place that is really booming, plenty of health care work as it is something of a retirement centre (due to good climate). Massive building boom there too. Downside is that property prices there would probably be higher than in the waikato.
Other than that, in the South Island, Christchurch or dunedin...primarily Christchurch, really the only sensible choice.
cheers, Stu.

I can certainly recommend Feilding, which is a very rural town. It's near to Palmerston North, 20 mins drive, which is a relatively big university town (city) with everything there and plenty of job opportunities - cinema, theatre, restaurants, NZIS (they are now processing PR apps.). Just under 2 hours drive from Wellington - just under 3 hours from Taupo, New Plymouth, Napier. Weather is maybe not as good as some other areas. Quite warm today 17 degrees, which for the equivalent of November in UK is wonderful.
