travel - get FREE detailed information on accommodation, attractions, things to do and see
and much, much more. Just click here. . .
This guide is the big
picture, the overall view, but if you want detailed information
on what to see, where to go, where to eat, where to stay go to
my
(Not quite) Complete Guide to New Zealand Travel
Where to stay, where to eat, what to
see. Yes, all that. But much more. It is aimed primarily at self-drive travellers and they
need to know much more.
The problem is how to deliver
this information in a logical way - and I have decided to serve it up as the
road rolls under you. That is, the information is given kilometre by
kilometre for each of the state highways.
It is a work in progress. And so far it has been seven years in the
making. It is far from complete, but if you are touring
NZ you may find it useful.

Some
Interesting Websites
The following is a far-from-complete
collection of interesting websites with information about
New Zealand.
If you
have a site - either your own or one you've visited -
that you think we should list here, please email me.
Naturally, I like the concept of reciprocity - you
scratch my website and I'll scratch yours - but it ain't
a big deal. If your site is good value, whether I get a
back-link or not ought not get in the way of letting
others get the benefit of a link to it. I do, however,
reserve the right not to create links if the whim takes
me .
For some accommodation options go to our
accommodation page.
For a lot of official information and
statistics, etc the New Zealand Government
Online.
Tourism new Zealand's site has a lot of
touristy stuff.

Get inside tips on New Zealand
rental cars
If you want to rent a car in
New Zealand you could spend a long time trawling the net looking
at options and finish up totally confused.
Get expert local advice by clicking here.
Here's the
problem: New Zealand car rental is unlike most other
places in the world because the country is split into two
islands with a sizeable stretch of water between.
Taking a car across Cook Strait is expensive. Some rental
companies allow you to drop a vehicle in Wellington and collect
another in Picton (or vice versa). Some don't.
Along with a host of other complications it means if you are trying to
sort out car rental in New Zealand you may need a cup of tea and
a lie down long before you've figured it all out.
