THANK YOU ALL!!!
Hi Alex, there are many rentals in Wellington that comes fully furnished and I am sure there are plenty in Lower Hutt. Have a look at trademe if you haven't and shortlist the search for Fully furnished. Otherwise, there are many serviced apartments in Wellington city but that may be out of the way for your hubby and can be expensive too.
Is your hubby going to work in central lower hutt? Like in the town centre? I have spoken to some of my mates here and they reckon that as with many cities, there are good and not so good areas. I was recommended to Avalon and Woburn. But there are many suburbs in Lower Hutt, so have a look around and talk to people to see what they think. I would prefer to stay near where there are amentities like super market, public transportation (bus and train) and near the motorway (but not too near as it can get noisy).
Ask any questions you have about Lower Hutt and I will hunt down the answers for you.
P.S. Lower Hutt also have the best (awarded) Fish and Chips in Wellington..
