Glenorchy Air
My friend and I took a flight into Milford Sound with Glenorchy in late October.
They can't take the credit for the fabulous weather on the day of the flight but they made the most of it with a superb flight over the mountains. They looked after us magnificently from start to finish - a personal service that made us feel like real VIPs with our own private plane. OK it costs a bit more than the coach but 5 hours in and 5 hours back on the road can't be much fun, whereas with Glenorchy it was sheer pleasure. Ian Lee

Wilderness Motorhomes
My friend and I booked a Wilderness campervan, known as the Base Jumper (though it sticks to the road very well) on a recommendation from my brother who had had one in January.
Our expectations were high and it certainly lived up to them. As others have said, the layout is extremely well thought out; it's well provided with kit (including such niceties as a DVD player) and it has a lusty diesel engine that makes driving a pleasure. The team at Wilderness were also extremely friendly and helpful, especially when we had a slight problem with battery-charging (it wasn't fully charged when we picked it up, hence the dropped point!). But the acid test is this:if I ever go back to NZ I would certainly hire one of these again. Ian Lee, London
