Lucky you - DH and I have talked a lot about taking a trip. We nearly moved there about 40 years ago. He was in a field of work that they wanted down there at that time. Wonder what I would be doing if we had moved there? Would I have that delightful Aussie accent? LOL

I moved away from Auckland last Christmas however Global Fabrics in Auckland City had heaps, it's not exactly a discount fabric store, but has merino, linens, and lots of quality fabrics at good prices.
The Janome store I used to go to was in Onehunga in Auckland, they had lots of New Zealand prints along with quilting fabrics. There will be heaps more but they are the ones I used to go to.
Hamilton I believe has some fabric stores (still trying to get there to have a good look around).
I haven't been Rotorua or Whitianga way for years now!
