Asked and answered – in praise of amazing readers… New Zealand tips
We toured NZ in 2011, in a rented motorhome, and had a wonderful time. No doubt some things have changed since then, but many will not have, so here are some thoughts.
We used Hema Maps’ New Zealand Motorhome and Camping Atlas hemamaps.com.au to plan our trip. This not only has excellent country maps, but also detailed maps of the main towns and cities, as well as a comprehensive list of campsites.
We also used the very good Rough Guide to New Zealand. In NZ we bought guidebooks for local birds, trees and for other local wildlife – very necessary as they are all so different from European species. We took our sat-nav with us, having bought add-on NZ maps for it.
We spent six weeks there, three weeks on each island.
