And unfortunately listings on trademe or realestate will only respond to you more or less when you arrive in NZ. If you get a poor response, don't be disheartened, just make temporary accommodations arrangement (stay in a hotel, motel, apartment hotel etc) and begin your search once you arrived.
The one other thing, is if you get an apartment in the CBD, parking might not be included.
