EAST COAST WAIROA VIBES!
QRS is in Wairoa, a beautiful town nestled alongside the famous Wairoa River. It boasts a lifestyle of hunting, fishing, surfing, tramping, and sport. Lake Waikaremoana and Te Urewera are an hour away, and the gentle waves of Mahia Beach roll in just over the hill. Housing is affordable. There’s fantastic schools and a Community Centre which hosts swimming, basketball, netball, fitness classes and a gym, as well as community programmes. Wairoa is home to New Zealand’s newest adventure playground and mountain bike park. Leave the hustle of city life behind and experience the rich culture, heritage, and atmosphere of this warm and friendly community.
# Now I don’t have to build three hours driving time into my day because I’m living the dream here. !

QRS’s signs technician Aaron Hoskin is synonymous with dozens of other Aucklanders taking advantage of th he Wairoa housing market and sunshine! The former fibre op ptics cable technician is nuts abou ut northern Hawke’s Bay and says the stunning climate e and laidback lifestyle attracted him as an out of tow wn property investor. “Escaping from New Zealand’s largest city was a goo od idea. It’s more affordable, less congested, and there’ss fewer people ruining the view.” Two years ago Aaron sold his Auckland house and purchased rentals and his own home in Wairoa. QRS now has the benefit of his reliability and selfmotivation. Aaron, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, has taken every opportunity offered to up skill. He now has his Classs 2 and 4 driver licences, a dangerous goods licence, and d his licence for vehicles that run on wheels, tracks or rollers. Aaron is also developing and expanding his supervission and management skills. He’s passed his mathematiccs and literacy introduction exams and is working towards a Certificate in Engineering Technology. Aaron says you’d be mad not to take up the opportunities offered by QRS. “IIf you want to work hard then you can end up where you want to,” he says. When he’s not working 32-year-old Aaron enjoys hunting and driving his Mazda BFMR - even if he drives it less than he used to! He says swapping the 90-minute drive to work in Auckland in his prized vehicle, for a three-minute drive in Wairoa, was a no-brainer!
