Wellington for singles?

Question

hi! i'm considering moving to new zealand, but no particular place yet. however, since i'm in the IT field, chances are i'll be moving to wellington. unfortunately, i read somewhere that wellington is one of the most, if not the most, boring place in nz and in the world in general. is this true? can't say much as i've never been to nz.

what is it like for singles to live and work in wellington? are there lots of cafes, bars open late at night? are people friendly? are there lots of places for recreation and meeting people? how about adventure activies nearby? generally, is it fun living there?

thanks!

Answer 1

Hi there,

Wellington is basically in the centre of the North and South Islands and I found it very friendly while living there....  It is great with it's night life and is just over the strait from the South Island which has lots of fantastic outdoor activities.....

However, Auckland  is the biggest city in NZ, with lots of big companies and has a shortage of single guys.... it has a huge amount of bars and cafes, and is warmer and more laid back than Wellington.....There a lots of water activities, because of all the beaches and are day trips away from a big amount of outdoor activities....so it's a fun place to live!  Out of the two cities I would personally choose Auckland.  And there are lots of other fantastic towns and cities in NZ...!  Either way,  I'm sure you will enjoy your NZ experience!

NO WAY!!!!! Wellington is DEFINETLEY NOT boring!!!!

I love it here!!!!

We are considered the culture capital of NZ as we have a very diverse range of people, when you arrive go to Cuba street in the evenings on a friday or saturday night and let me know if you think it was boring

Answer 5

Welly is the most boring place in th world?! Lol wot!!!

I don't really have anything to base it on as I've never been anywhere else but I love Wellingtons night life! Going out there when its night, theres so many bright lights and the atmostphere is great!

Its hard to say if its boring because it really depends on your taste. Im only 16 so I havent been able to experience the clubs but I would definitely say give it a go cause from what ive heard its great.

And if you don't like it, you can always move right?
