Hawks Bay region- Napier,Hastings, Waipukurau or surrounding areas?
I'm seriously thinking about relocating to NZ. Would the above be a good area to get started? I want to be in a metroplitian area with good bus transportation, and employment opportunities. However, I'm not aiming to live in the biggest town.
Also I'm a little perplexed about the work visa conditions. It seems like a catch 22. You can't get a work visa without a job, and you cant get a job without a work visa. Is it the fact that I will have to stay/look for a job offer while on my first "visit", then apply for a work visa after I get a job offer, then return on my work visa?
What's you opinion about the general friendliness toward immigrants?

You won't have any problems wtih 'general friendliness' from kiwis - NZ is just as multicultural as Australia
I would personally recommend Nelson though - not a BIG city, but alot nicer than Hawkes Bay etc. Very spread out, more sunshine, unlimited beaches and heaps to do.

New Zealanders are basically friendly and down to earth people. they are also very reserved, not as "loud" as their counterpart which i will not mention. This is based on my experience though.

you treat people the way you want to be treated and you will be fine.
