I do IT work, mainly remote and the occasional business trip. Based near Masterton, so 1.5 hours to airports in either direction either Welly or Palmy. It’s big enough to have most of what I need, and close enough I can get anywhere quick enough. Housing is way cheaper. Quality of life and community feeling just way better for us. Recommended.
Thanks for your reply. We also like the Wairarapa, but we've now realised we'd like to be close to the sea. So think it will be the Kapiti Coast.
Fair call. Don’t think you can go too far wrong either way. Good luck.
Sounds like you’ve been going through many of the same thought processes we went through a year ago, we ended up moving to kapiti and brought a nice old place in paraparaumu. The commute into the city twice a week isn’t too bad (take a book) and the beaches are great, the weathers warm and there’s a few nice rivers for swimming around as well.
Easy access to the Tararuas and journeys north are much easier as well. There always seems to be crafty things happening, although we’ve been busy with Reno’s the last 6 months so haven’t had a ton of time to explore. Access to some of the best mountain biking in Wellington too if that’s your thing
Thanks! Looks like we've gone through the same process as we are now also looking at Kapiti. How are the schools, do you know?
Sorry don’t have kids so can’t tell you much about the schools!
