The North Island is more populated, while teperatures can be hotter there is also a higher percentage of rain with Auckland boasting highest rainfall in NZ. It has some great beaches and has almost 2 thirds of the population. The North Island is home to NZs largest city Auckland and the capital city Wellington. The largest lake in NZ is in the North Island. Living costs in the large cities are more expensive than in the South but in smaller towns they are very similar.
The South Island is less densley populated but still has the second largest city in NZ (Christchurch). The most hours of sushine each year is usually awarded to Nelson/Marlborough so even though the climate can get colder on the whole the weather isnt worse than the south island. The south island is also home to NZs biggest wine region, NZs adventure capital, four glaciers, four out of five of NZs biggest lakes, the beautiful Marlborough and Milford Sounds and is has gorgous mountain ranges. NZs five tallest mountains are all situated in the South Island.
