North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Karori ▷
Zealandia
Daytime: I visited it when it was slightly raining, so I met only one guy in the whole park.
It was one of the best experiences in new zealand, absolutely stunning. But you have to like new zealand birds :), and: "its not a zoo". If you know about new zealands wildlife, its lovely to encounter all the rare animals.

South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Seal Swim Kaikoura
A lot more fun than swimming with dolphins.
If I would have to devicide between these two, I would choose this.
Good organization, good spot, I would do this again.

South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Christchurch ▷
Willowbank Wildlife Reserve
One of the best places to see a kiwi that is not behind a window.
If you are interested in new zealand animals, than this is a must do. Nice to watch there too: Takahe, Keas, Weka ...

North Island ▷ Bay of Plenty ▷ Katikati ▷
Katikati Naturist Park
One of the most beautiful campsites in new zealand.
We stayed there twice yet and we will stay there again in Feb. 2012. It is a lovely place with a lot of space, affordable Internet, nice pool and free spa and mini golf and a lot of other stuff.

North Island ▷ Manawatu - Wanganui ▷ Whanganui ▷
Whanganui Seaside Holiday Park
Very nice campground, clean facilities in good conditions.
Very close to one of the most interesting beaches and even closer to a big playground. We stayed there twice, in 2009 and 01/2011. When we are in this area again we will stay there a third time.

Orana Wildlife Park
Really nice park with a lot of space, not crowded and a thrilling encounter with wild dogs.

South Island ▷ Marlborough ▷ Picton / Marlborough Sounds ▷
Ecoworld Aquarium and Terrarium
Old, dirty and expensive, should be closed.
Never again.
