I had a great time with Peter Hendriks at Aspiring Air in Wanaka. An awesome place to live the whole year round and nothing has ever compared to my experience of flying round the snow capped peaks and glaciers of the southern alps. cons of the school may be the occasional over laid back approach and their main business being scenic flights. They offer PPL to CPL training only, and Pete has an awesome tiger moth you can get rated on. They have a web site you can find easily through google. I personally found Wakatipu a little pompus and over priced, however they do promise a job at the end of CPL training.
Best of luck
