Finding accommodation, of course, one of the most important questions for all newly arriving to New Zealand. Moreover, from our experience, the apartment / house you live in highly affects your mood and feeling. And therefore may affect the general impression on the country.

How to save on housing in New Zealand?
When you are a student or just arrived in the country, we recommend renting a house together with other people (sharing, flatmates). Thus, you may save significant costs, which is important, especially at first. In addition, you will divide utility bills proportionately, which also leads to savings.
- First, search for neighbours for a joint lease on TradeMe
