My family and I are moving to Auckland in September. We'll be staying with friends for a week or two but will want to move into a rented house pretty sharpish.
I've heard that most rented accomodation in NZ is unfurnished, so my question is how much stuff we should get shipped over. Should we be including things like the cooker and washing machine? For that matter, would the cooker and washing machine be compatible with the gas and water plumbing there?
