Travel to New Zealand – Something For Everyone

Hotels, motels, backpackers, bed and breakfasts, camping grounds, and lodges from unadorned to luxury can be found throughout New Zealand. Booking is essential, especially in the high season October-April.

New Zealand Travel Offers all Types of Accommodation – Backpackers, Bed-and-Breakfasts and Camping Grounds

Most camping grounds are well-equipped with decent kitchens, laundries and clean ablution blocks. Camping grounds are often situated within a short walk of beaches, and may also be found in quite remote regions. There are excellent backpackers in most areas, many situated close to the CBD and near to public transport routes. Bed-and-breakfast facilities may be shared with the resident family, or visitors may have separate quarters. Travelers should clarify arrangements so that expectations are clear for both host and visitor.

New Zealand Food – NZ has Embraced the Cafe Culture

New Zealand has embraced the café culture, with numerous cafes serving diverse food styles. Ethnic outlets are well represented, as are the major fast food chains, e.g. KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Starbucks. Traditional New Zealand food may be sampled in restaurants or as part of the tourism experience. An agricultural island-nation, New Zealand produces world-class wines, meats, dairy products, fruits and vegetables.

New Zealanders Drive on the Left Side of the Road

Rental vehicles can be collected at point of arrival, most frequently Auckland International Airport in the North Island, which receives flights daily from all points of the compass. New Zealanders drive on the left. The country has an efficient system of highways and byways with new sights unfolding at the turn of each corner. Visitors are often intrigued and sometimes discomforted by the narrow, winding roads in some areas. When traveling on these roads it is imperative to drive at the speed (or less) indicated by road signs and to keep to the left.
