Plan Your New Zealand South Island Independent Holiday Itinerary

When you start to plan your New Zealand holiday it throws up some difficult questions. I have often been asked which I like best, the North Island or the South Island.

New Zealand Holiday Homes

Even if I highly recommend that if you travel to New Zealand you take the majority of the trip on a campervan discovering the country on the road and getting to everywhere, it is a good idea to finalize a long trip after driving during probably 3 or 4 weeks in a nice holiday home by the lake or next to a wonderful city like Auckland. I’ll take a look then at New Zealand holiday homes possibilities.

First of all, and even if it looks like a stupid question, you should know what are you looking for. Relax by the beach? To be next to a lake in mountain cottage? To be close to an important city in order to explore it deeply and have the house as a base for operations? Up to you, but don’t start looking at different stuff if you are not clear on that point.
