Hi Amy,
I agree with you to a certain extent although, Masterton probably isnt considered very far from Wellington, but I wouldn't fancy commuting over the Rimutaka Hill every day.. and the train service is okay but again, every day would get very tedious..
For visiting other places, though, you're right, the north island is easy to get around.. the roads are so quiet.. it's quite eerie sometimes..
We drove up the desert road towards Taupo a few weeks ago,,, and there was low cloud round the top of Mt Ruapehu, and we were the only ones on the road... it was quite spooky...
Never been so pleased to see a Police Car in all my life...
