I really sorry for the late due to i am real busy since December...ive been keep bugging from readers . Thanks for bugging so that i will post now again.
When did you plan to go New Zealand ? Some might say winter so that can get to see snow and some might say Summer so that can escape from winter .
For travelers , Its really depends on what you will like see in NZ but in terms of jobs (Working Holiday) i would recommended you the best time to go will be in Late March .
Why late march ?
In my previous post , i did mentioned about how seasonal job cycle works round year .
Late march is Autumn which i think is the fabulous season to help you to get used with the unstable cool weather in NZ .
But in terms of seasonal jobs , it would probably be the best time.
Peak Season jobs in March-July will falls at Hawke's Bay and Bay Of Plenty .
If you are going in late march it would be the best time to go Bay of Plenty instead of Hawkes Bay .
The demand of people in Bay of Plenty will starts from late march throughout june.
This will help you get a stable job for the whole season instead of job hopping and moving around.
Where else in Hawkes Bay the demanding of people will be in late january-march .
Which means when you go in march ,they do not need much worker anymore , which will give you hassle of not getting full time job or even jobless .
For me , I think march is the best time to earn good money which will allows you to earn and save enough for traveling .
However If you plan to go early than march .It will be possible as well .
Plans :
Arrive Auckland in mid to late January .Take a flight 1hrs/bus to Hasting 8hrs(Hawkes Bay) and look for jobs in Blueberries ,Apples ,Can-food production factory , and many others fruits.
Jobs will last you till april . So in late march , you either have to start email/call for jobs in Tepuke or Kati-Kati ,Bay of Plenty .Or you will easily get jobs once you arrive there .Main harvest will be Kiwifruits.
Kiwifruits peak season will end in early july/some are in end of june .
By end of september , You could probably give yourself a big big break . As they will be less (i mean it ,real less jobs ) due to its time for fruits to grow.
Its time for you to travel and feel the environment around .
This will last up to 2-3 months.But no worries , you will still get some jobs out there.
By November you may either go back to Hawkes Bay for some jobs or go to Central Otago in December for jobs...like Cherries .
Above its just the way i did when i was in NZ for my second year . Which really helps me to travel and works the whole NZ.
You may based on my previous post on which and where to work .
Basically its all in one big routine . Timing is very important . If you go in a wrong time or even wrong place , you will probably waste a lot of money and waste your once life once working holiday permit period .
