South Island ▷ Marlborough ▷ Picton / Marlborough Sounds ▷
Charming, informative guide - Marlborough Sounds are beautiful, Motuara Island is a fascinating piece of conservation - even a great biscuit with our cup of tea.
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Abel Tasman ▷
We were here in November, when it was <10% occupied, and the location is superb, lovely beach and some lovely walks.
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ St Arnaud ▷
Super example of mainland species control, beautifully laid out track with informative display through the Honey Dew Forest.
Tip: Take sandwiches and do the whole track!
North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Hutt Valley ▷
Possibly because we were only staying one night we were put right next to a four lane highway opposite an industrial park.
We left, even though we had paid.
South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Hanmer Springs ▷
Well marked, 1-2 hour walks through mainly introduced woodland - gentle and enjoyable.

Very personal, friendly service.
Great van, high quality equipment, comfy bed.

We saw four sperm whale - very professional, maybe could be a little warmer spirited.
One of us were mal de mer!

Our first thermal park - $80 a head including boat ride, seemed very expensive but the place was well laid out and informative.
