Default Try Wellington
Hello. Sorry you are feeling disallusioned about living in NZ. I've been living in NZ for 7 years now (from the UK) and have lived a year in Wellington and 6 years on the Kapiti Coast (an hour's drive north). I live in a wonderful rural area on 5 acres, very peaceful, no litter, close to both the sea and the hills. I commute to work in Wellington on a reliable and comfortable train service. Much much better than being in Auckland I can tell you - so I completely recommend moving here. If you need to work in a city then Wellington is the best bet as you can choose to live rurally/by the beach and commute OR live in town (which is very quiet at night in the weekdays). The Kapiti Coast has a much better climate than Wellington, more sun and clear skies.
Hope this information helps.
Oh but the driving is terrible all over NZ!
