Well I live here and I have contemplated shifting to the Gold Coast region of Queensland, Australia where the sun shines brightly 12 months of the year.
There are only 4 million people in NZ - and three and a half million of them live in the parts of NZ which are temperate - not cold ( as in freezing) in the winter and not hot in the summer and pretty neutral in spring and autumn. That is where I fit in where I live. I suppose the coldest any part of NZ would get to is five below zero celsius ( which is around minus 23 fahrenheit) - and that would not last all day, probably would occur on a frosty morning - unless there was some exceptional weather.
NZ is not an Hawaii or Fiji or New Caledonia or Samoa - we are under the influence of the South Pole apart from the very north of the North Island. Then again we are a world power in agricultural farm products - and you need year round green grass and rain and a temperate climate for those kinds of activities.
