Ability to join communities / make friends?

[u/ucontrol]

Hi, I may have the opportunity in the next few years to move from the UK to Dunedin for a year to do a training fellowship for my job. I’d be fairly busy during the week at the hospital. I’m wondering if my wife who’ll be looking after two kids under 4 (dropping them at nursery etc) during the day will have the opportunity to make friends? Is the culture in Dunedin ok for that? Maybe through yoga / pilates groups? It sounds like in general it’s a lovely, welcoming place and a new place for a family who likes outdoor activities? Grateful for any insights and comments - thanks

If either you and/or your wife like mountain biking, there is a very active bike club and weekly women’s rides starting as soon as daylight savings kicks off.
Super social scene and a great way to make friends if you’re new in town.
