Why move North?

Northern Region

Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau offers a perfect balance between professional opportunities and an active outdoors lifestyle. You’ll find your community no matter where you settle, with a picturesque beach or tramping reserve always within reach.

Should you favour an opportunity in Te Tai Tokerau, New Zealand Aotearoa’s “Winterless North”, a year-round mild climate and spectacular coastlines will be your reward. And there’s always time to push the boat out after work.
