Many times when you click on a link that touts "NZ personals" it merely redirects you to an international site. Nothing wrong with that, but if you want to stay strictly local, why not try out the small sites that cater to Aussies and Kiwis? NZDating.com is the most popular one out there – easy to navigate, although the design is a bit pared down. It comes with a steady, active membership and its the most well known NZ dating site around. Some of its positive points are:

• Large membership
• Easy to navigate
• Well laid out
• 99% of members living in NZ

It also has many features for free members, such as:

• Message boards
• Chat rooms
• Large message boxes
• Free to contact other users

NZDating is a great example of a free service undermining a paid service. For a while, FindSomeone.co.nz had the upper hand in the New Zealand dating arena. Lately, FindSomeone has become stagnant as free services highlight how expensive they are.

With everything taken into consideration, and with 99% of members living in NZ, NZDating.com is worth joining.
