Hamilton is New Zealand's fourth largest city and is also one of the fastest growing. It is situated on the banks of the Waikato River. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is close enough to beaches, mountains and forests for a range of outdoor activities. Living in Hamilton and the Waikato region gives you reasonably priced housing, excellent public and private schools and an easy commute to work. It has all the benefits of a big city without the stress.
If you are looking for a fabulous environment to raise your family or an opportunity for exciting outdoor leisure pursuits, then we would welcome your application.
