South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Doubtful Sound ▷
Doubtful Sound Day Cruise
Pretty expensive but you get a lot for your money-Lake Manapouri, power station, Doubtful Sound, very touristy.
Pack them in. I happened to be on a coach with screaming loud children/babies. This was not pleasant and children under a certain age should be banned from this once in a lifetime experience. What does a 6 week old get out of it anyway.

North Island ▷ Auckland Region ▷ Auckland ▷
Rental Car Village
Rental car-Micro camper-pretty old car, but good value for money, only one problem so far, having driven over 5000 KM.
Company overnight couriered spare part. I am travelling alone-it would be a squeeze for fit 2 people in here + luggage.

South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Arthur's Pass ▷
Devils Punchbowl Walking Track
Only 2km return but sensational waterfall at the end.
Watch the water then look at the rocks (they will move). The sunset over the surrounding area is magical.

South Island ▷ Southland ▷ Owaka ▷

10 out of 10 for this camp-site.

Indiana Jones eat your heart out!
This place is small but perfectly formed.

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Golden Bay ▷
Mount / Mt Arthur Tableland Circuit
Very steep gravel road to car park.
Really lovely 3.6 km walk to the hut. Go slightly higher for the view over Kahurangi National Park and the coast. Weather permitting.

South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Dunedin ▷
Taieri Gorge Railway
Touristy and at $89 quite expensive.
I enjoyed the scenery but something I can't put my finger on was missing. Maybe an authentic train would have helped.
-
South Island ▷ Southland ▷ Invercargill ▷
Southland Museum
Best museum I have been to in New Zealand.
Didn't cost much to get in. Exhibits include
Beyond the Roaring Forties, The Worlds Fastest Indian. Victoriana, Tuatara. All well presented and displayed.

South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Hokitika ▷
Hokitika Holiday Park
Looks a bit shabby but actually toilets and showers kitchen facilities are excellent, not the most picturesque setting (next to the milk factory) But it's hokitika it doesn't matter.
