LIVING IN AUCKLAND

2nd

population with land size similar to UK

Our country is known for its stunning natural scenery, from mountains, to lakes and coastlines

New Zealanders (informally known as Kiwis) are down-to-earth and friendly, and our lifestyle is relaxed, with a passion for the outdoors. 'Kiwi ingenuity' helps this small country achieve big things.

With a history of Māori, European, Pacific Island and Asian cultures, New Zealand has become a melting-pot population.

Over three-quarters of the population live in the North Island, with one-third living in Auckland. The other main cities of Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin are where the majority of remaining Kiwis dwell.

There are many things to experience here, from wide open spaces, unique nature and wildlife, to adventure tourism and thriving cities.
