Moeraki Boulders Holiday Park @ Hamden Beach
One of the best campgrounds we have stayed at during our 3 month travel through NZ!
Although you can easily see that the facilities are not brand-new you have everything you need for an awesome time: a clean and well-equipped kitchen, clean facilities, fairly priced laundry, a bbq etc. Having a 1-year-old baby there are even advantages: a big lawn with toys and a boat, short walk to the sea, etc. On top of that there is a great cafe pretty close by :) Our absolute favorite so far!!

Happy Campers
You get what you pay for, old campervan (2005 - 271000kms) and heavily used.
On the other hand the car is in ok shape and price is good. However a bit more thought on interior setup (e.g. nets to store stuff etc) would be appreciated.

Waipu Caves Track
Great non-commercialised caves!
Adventurous, unique and overall wonderful glowworm experience (with baby is carrier). Simply great!
-
North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Waiotapu ▷
Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland
Unique experience and scenery!
Somehow though the city itself was way more fascinating. And the Lady Knox Geyser (with soap!) was more show-off than 'natural' attraction.

North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Tongariro Alpine Crossing
Walk very good but shuttle service from/to Taupo okay (first departure only at 3pm).
If you are used to the Alps - volcanic scenery has difficulties to compare. Although the track was great.

North Island ▷ Auckland Region ▷ Auckland ▷
Sky Tower
It was nice, because the weather was good but overall we would recommend to visit one of the restaurants - then you do not need to pay for entrance, and only for food and drinks.

South Island ▷ Marlborough ▷ Picton / Marlborough Sounds ▷
Archers Track
Amazing track which provides you with awesome views - better than Pelorus or Queen Charlotte!
