Firstly, you lucky ! I love NZ and it's also my dream to get over and live there. It kind of helps having family over there, so one day maybe.

I did a check out to get my NZ PPL whilst I was there a couple of years ago and you will love the flying there.

It depends to which island you are going, but have a look at this web-site, it should help you find what you are looking for.

I've been to Ardmore, a large G/A airport near Auckland, and was impressed with the set up. However, most of my time has been spent in the South Island.

Have a look at Nelson Aviation College and Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology. In the North Island apart from Ardmore, I've heard good things about the Waikato Institute of Technology and Bay Flight International. I don't mention the rest on the list simply as I don't know anything about them. From my experience of Kiwi hospitality though where ever you go you will be well treated and well looked after.

Good luck, enjoy paradise and I hope it goes well for you.
