If you were a yachtsman planning to spend 5 months a year in New Zealand, (and returning to the UK for our Summer) where would you chose to live? I think it would have to be the North Island (for the warmer weather) and renting rather than buying. Keeping the boat and familly home back in the UK. I would be looking for interesting coastal/inlets town village, suitable for small boat sailing and as a base for motorcycle / camper touring.
On the brink of illness induced early retirment, and looking at the next 6 months of gloomy weather in the UK, really it doesn't look like a bad option.
Any suggestions would be welcome, I'm planning a recce in January 2012.
All best Nick
