Which city is the best place to live in for work and for a first time move to New Zealand North Island?

7 years ago
Hi Everyone! ??
My name is Melanie. I am originally from Melbourne Australia and have recently returned home from an amazing holiday to the South Island of New Zealand. I have absolutely fallen in love with this beautiful country and seriously thinking about moving to the North Island of NZ in 6 months time. I would love to live in NZ for at least 6 months.
In terms of work and finding a place to rent in a share house, which city on the North Island is the best and most affordable for first time Australian travellers to live and work in?
Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated. Thank you ????
