Happy Valley also has the added advantage of being near some of the sports clubs if you are seriously into sport and want to play Rugby, choices depend on budget (and regular attendance) running from the football club to valley. There is also the running track around the race course as well as seven-a-side soccer, soccer and hockey pitches.
I agree - to the OP - is this the case for you? Because if you mean 50,000HKD per month, that's a pretty darn generous allowance and will give you the flexibility to go pretty much anywhere in HK for a small 2 bed flat (or have a huge place somewhere not perfectly central).Original Post Deleted
My guess is that the 50K HKD "allowance" is part of your salary, so I would suggest some place like Hung Hom, Whampoa Gardens, lots of people have small pets, and with schools and shops near by, and a few oversea buses right underneath.
Thanks everyone, this will be a great help! We’ll stay in a serviced apartment for a month and leave Poppet at home while we check out the options you have mentioned. Then will make a decision on whether to bring her over or not. Can anyone suggest a suitable serviced apartment? Also, the 50,000 is just for accommodation if we don’t spend it it’s no big deal but we don’t get to keep it... It’s not part of his salary (unfortunately). One final thing – we don’t have any furniture… does this make a difference in terms of restricting where we can rent? We don’t have much in NZ either so pointless to bring it over. Are we better to buy stuff when we arrive? Or get a place that is furnished? What do you think…
