We spent a few days in Welli and checking out the area Beth and we were disappointed. Welli is beaut, you'll love it. It has a fantastic feel and the whole thing around the bay is indescribable. It is truly stunning and that was on a grey day in the middle of winter. But as for finding a place you and your girls? I can empathise with that and that is why we ended up back in Hamilton.
We were dead set on Welli (well as dead set as you can be from the other side of the world) being the centre for performing arts and all but it just didn't hit the spot as far as the family life is concerned,
Go with an open mind Beth. You're making a fresh start and you can make that start anywhere. Bear that in mind
