It's a few yes since I have been but do the shops still shut midday on a Saturday ?!!! I found it most strange , oh yes don't go to nz if you want to party ! It's so laid back that's if the all blacks are not at the west pac stadium !Went earlier this year for a month and did b&b/motels. Car hired from Auckland to Christchurch then flew back to Auckland and north to Bay of Islands.Eye wateringly expensive cost of living . 1 dollar =62p . 60 dollars for average bottle of wine in Auckland! but cheaper , circa 30-40 dollars outside of Auck. (restaurantt/bar prices)10 dollars for a happy hour beer in Queenstown. Supermarket shopping not cheap either. Looked at Mhoming but, by the time you have added mileage, linen, insurance etc it's as cheap to stay in decent B&B's/ motels.
Really depends if you want to get away from it all or a bit, and I mean a bit of life.9.30 one evening and landlord locked pub doors and waited for the 3 of us to leave as he turned off lights around us.

i was going to say that , its like going back in time ? But you can't fault the friendly people and the STUNNING scenery but boy it will be expensive now !It was like going back years TG!. Reminded me of Scotland on a Sunday in the early 70's---shut.
Ticked off my bucket list and not likely to make a re-appearance.
Some beautiful parts but a bit like Derbyshire with a coast line on the lower half of the North Island althouh the Bay of Islands was worth the trip north.
We'd been to South Africa the year before so the price difference was even more marked in comparison.I

The Coast road from Picton to Christchurch may well be open again after the earthquake and is a must. I am partial to the South island as i live here but did enjoy leaving Highway 1 around Hamilton and heading out to the coast on highway 3. you pop out one the coast at Mokau above New Plymouth. Dont get an underpowered Diesel van and make sure it has a self contained sticker. they are clamping down on "Freedom Camping"
