Planning a New Zealand holiday - Get FREE detailed information on accommodation, attractions, things to do and see . . .

This guide is the big picture, the overall view, but if you want detailed information on what to see, where to go, where to eat, where to stay go to my (Not quite) Complete Guide to New Zealand Travel

Where to stay, where to eat, what to see. Yes, all that. But much more. It is aimed primarily at self-drive travellers and they need to know much more.

The problem is how to deliver this information in a logical way - and I have decided to serve it up as the road rolls under you. That is, the information is given kilometre by kilometre for each of the state highways.

It is a work in progress. And so far it has been seven years in the making. It is far from complete, but if you are touring NZ you may find it useful.

New Zealand! The way the whole world would have been if the human race hadn't lost the plot.

General Information Background guff on New Zealand. The Government, power, water, petrol, medical assistance etc. Could be useful - save you time, money and grief.

Getting In Stuff about visas, immigration and all that jazz - and what to do on arrival. Customs, duty free and getting away from the airport. This will help you save money on duty free stuff and warn you about our customs people - who have bright eyes, and sharp fangs. Could avoid you being arrested or fined on arrival.

Where To Go, What To See, What to Do A regional guide. This is the real nitty-gritty. It's all about why you're coming here.

Accommodation Where to lay your weary head at the end of another long, hard day enjoying yourself.

Getting Around Travelling on . . . . by road, rail, air or sea. Transport is one of your biggest costs and therefore one of the major decisions to be made. This will help you get it sorted.

Special Interests Diving, fishing, golf, hunting, rafting, sailing, skiing, adrenalin adventures . . . boy oh boy, has this place got it all!.

Other Useful Websites An eclectic collection of travel related links, both New Zealand and international, that you may find useful.

Introduction Who I am, what I do, why I've done this and what I hope to achieve. What, hopefully, you'll get out of it. Don't worry about it - you can skip this bit.
