Hi there!
I am from Spain and I hold a NZ PPL. I flew there close to 200 hours. I did it in Dunedin at Mainland Aviation College (South Island). Good place, good instructors, always available planes and very nice place to fly, beautiful mountains and lakes, but also you have to be ready to fight with the NZ meteorological conditions!!!, so you will obtain a good handling skills.
Defenitely it was a good experience . Go for it!!
