Where should I setup a bank account in Rotorua?

"Before retiring in Rotorua, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other major cities in the country. They should also be aware that Rotorua is a popular tourist destination, known for its geothermal activity and Maori culture, which can make the city quite busy during peak tourist seasons. Expats should understand that the healthcare system in New Zealand is of a high standard, with a mix of public and private providers. However, it's important to have a comprehensive health insurance plan, as not all services are covered by the public system. Rotorua has a mild climate, with warm summers and cool winters, but it can be quite rainy throughout the year. Expats should also be aware that the city is located in a geothermal area, which means there can be a strong sulphur smell in certain parts of the city. The primary language spoken in Rotorua is English, but the city also has a strong Maori presence, so learning some basic Maori phrases could be beneficial. Expats should know that New Zealand has a relaxed lifestyle and Rotorua is no exception. The city offers a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and water sports, which can be a great way to stay active and socialize. In terms of housing, expats have the option to rent or buy. The real estate market in Rotorua is competitive, so it's advisable to start the search for accommodation well in advance. Lastly, expats should be aware that New Zealand has strict biosecurity laws to protect its unique environment. This means there are restrictions on what can be brought into the country, including certain foods, plants, and animal products," commented one expat who made the move to Rotorua, New Zealand.
