Cheap holidays to New Zealand
Whether you decide to visit the north or south island (or both!), a holiday to New Zealand will not disappoint; with its dramatic landscapes, adventure activities galore, laid back lifestyle and rich history it’s hard to not fall in love with New Zealand.
Discover the beautiful cities of New Zealand
If you are planning a holiday to New Zealand the best place to start is in one of the cities; from the capital of Wellington to the cosmopolitan cities of Auckland and Christchurch. The city of Auckland is a popular choice for holidaymakers with its beautiful harbour and bustling city centre and the best place to start is at the Sky Tower. For amazing views over the city, head to the top of the 328 metre tower and sit back and relax in one of the many restaurants and appreciate the 360° views on offer. To grab a bargain, head down Queen Street or visit the boutique shops on Ponsonby road or in Parnell village. Also located in the south island, Wellington is another lively city to visit on your holiday to New Zealand; wander around the botanical gardens, visit Karori wildlife sanctuary or just relax in one of the many bars or cafes scattered throughout the city.
Christchurch, known as the garden city, is a wonderful place to relax and unwind; wander around cathedral square markets, take a historic tram ride around the city or stop and smell the roses in the beautiful botanic gardens. Whichever city you visit on your New Zealand holiday, you are sure to not be disappointed.
Adventure packed New Zealand holidays
Apart from its dramatic landscape; New Zealand is most well known as being the place to go if you are looking for adventure. In the North Island; visit the thermal hotspot of Rotorua, go caving in Waitomo, surf at Piha beach or trek along the Tongariro crossing. All activities are easily accessible from either Wellington or Auckland, so if you are looking to get the heart racing these are great places to be based in the North Island on your New Zealand holiday. For the even more adventurous, the south island is definitely the place for you; race around corners at high speeds on the shot over jet, experience the 134 metre Nevis bungee jump or jump out of a plane at 13,000 feet all at the adventure capital of Queenstown! One last thing that can’t be missed on your New Zealand holiday is to sample some of the world famous kiwi wine; with flourishing vineyards located in both the north and the south island, you will never be far from some of the best wine in the world.
