Island living, for many of us, is the dream.
A place to park the boat, a warm community, simple living, the ocean for a swimming pool, freshly caught fish – what’s not to like?
And there are Kiwis all around the country living the life, from Stewart Island to Waiheke, Aotea Great Barrier and Kawau.
You may assume island living isn’t really practical until you’re close to retirement, but growing work flexibility seems some former city-dwellers running their dream businesses from these idyllic locations, simply commuting to the mainland when needed.
