Mt Cook is the best place to be. It has a very low crusty ranting old man quota, which you will find is very high in places such as Newtown, and, yeah just stay away from Newtown.
Jallas dairy Wallace Street Mt Cook is undoubtedly, hands down, the winner of best dairy in town. That Mr Jalla, he's a card alright!
Central City comes in a close second.
If you have a car and dont mind living right in the "burbs" then I'd say Island Bay, its beautiful, and has excellent fish and chip shops.
Note to the inexperienced: Stay away from Courtney Place, especially on the weekend. Unless you enjoy underage scantily clad slappers in tight white pants, and lots of cars with exhausts that go "pshh" when you change gears.
Okay then thats all

Absolutely Positively Newtown
It's not just a suburb, its a way of life.

friday/sat night courtney place is the binary opposite to all that is good about wellies. i guess you can't have the good without the bad.

no sleep till brooklyn ..

jaw breaking views , lottsa wind, not too far away unless your a wimp .. brooklyn cafe,.. and with supurb access to the two most important place in welly .. aro chips and aro vid .. aro is to yucky to actually live in... but wicked ppl and awesome park

hahahahaa... you said you hated dunedin and that it was scum city, so you moved to auckland and "loved" it. now you hate it. chances are you'll hate something about wellington too.

move to china andoru!

i am very sick of dunedin. i want to leave.

hey dunedin aint boring. I just had lived there my whole life you know.

i want to go back there when i am older or when i retire.

lame

I know lots of people (relatively young too, Prozaco) who've returned to Dunein after stints in Auckland, London, Japan, Saudi, San Francisco and others. It's a good town, but like any you have to leave for a while to appreciate how good it is.

You'll probably like Welly a lot Andoru - it's like Dunners, only more so.

aww man, I was trying to sound cool and you've made me sound like a nerd

boaring but beautiful a little like some men i know i guess

Naps is boaring as fuck . but beautiful in summee and wicked weather. maybe you just dont know wher the good beaches are, cos there are some phat places there...i like dunedin...its swell alright.
as for naps cant have someone dissing my home town now....

no doubting its beautiful pitchblack. but you said it yourself: its fucking boring.

i lived in Auckers for a coupla of years, it wasn't till the second year that it really got hard to leave. there are great pockets of Auckland, but that's the same in any town. I mainly hung out with heaps of ex-Dunedin people, who moaned about Auckland and missed Dunedin.

there's a lot more of everything in Auckland, but it's just like every other city, there's just more range. there's more of an in-yo-face Gay/Bi scene, which is my thaing, but that and other stuff is in every town, you just gotta look harder elsewhere.

I miss Auckland. It's great to visit, but i wouldn't want to live there for a long time. Unless I was out at Kumeu or somethink.

I absolutely fucken adore Dunedin. Have a crush on Wellyton. Auckland was a great lay who i'm still on speaking terms with.

born: christchurch
bred: wellington
marketed[/killed?]: auckland.

well thats wot i reackon anyway.

I think I am going to have to stop reading this thread - I feel this huge tug towards Dunedin. Ever since I left, I have regretted it; every time I have been back it has struck me that I should be living there but so far I haven't been able to get a job to keep me in the style to which I have become accustomed.
