Hi all.
Is it worth bringing:
Curtain poles
curtains
wardrobes

Is it hassle to bring bicycles?

Hi,

If you are getting a container then just throw it all in, you can always sell on Trade-me if you no longer want it once you are here;)

We bought all of our curtains, have not used any of them. rooms here seem to have a lot more windows than we are used to in UK houses. but yup, if you have space bring them anyway, may just be able to use them,

curtain poles, I would have thought would need to be left as part of the house? we certainly had to leave ours.

Bikes, give it a good clean and bring it. Not a hassle really, a good jetwash should do it, and make sure there is no rust.

We brought our curtains but here if you buy a house the curtains come with it. Saying that our curtains would never have fitted any of windows in our house due to the huge sizes. But again you could always sell them when you get here. As above we brought mountain bikes just cleaned them well (no dirt etc) it was just another expensive when we arrived otherwise. Also make sure you have bike helmets as its law here if you are riding a bicycle no matter what age :yes . You may find them cheaper in the UK before you leave.
Hope this helps.

Oh & wardrobes they tend not to have them here due to tremors maybe :confused: & again we brought one which is in our lounge storing coats as most houses have built in wardrobes. I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong ;)
