The region is set on the beautiful and famous coastline of the East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island. A well-known holiday spot for Kiwis, you are only a 3.5 hour drive from New Zealand’s capital city of Wellington, a 2 hour drive from the beautiful Lakes and geothermal region, and 3.5 hours from the North Island premier skiing destination, Mount Ruapehu.
The local airport provides connections to Auckland and international flight connections with daily flights (1 hr duration).
With over 2,245 hours of sunshine each year, and warm, dry summers this district is the country’s oldest winemaking region and is New Zealand’s leading producer of award winning red wines. To complement, it is further renowned as a gourmet destination for fresh seasonal food, exotic and organic meat, fruit and vegetables grown and processed in the Bay. Farmers markets provide an opportunity for you to meet the growers and sample their wares. It is also home to a world-class concentration of Art Deco architecture, fresh local produce and artisan food producers complemented by a vibrant arts scene and a rich Maori culture. The region also hosts a number of ‘must see’ events throughout the year (festivals, concerts etc).
This is a great opportunity to make the move from your current job to one in a comparable health system, which also offers a supportive work environment and a chance to experience the kiwi lifestyle.
