hi

we spent 6 months there in 2003. We bought our car on a guaranteed buy back deal but sold it privately in the end it only cost us £50.00 . We stayed in a mixture of accommodation mainly bbh hostels using double rooms and communial cooking and eating,some top 10 sites all have cabins  available

We insured  with the rac in NZ make sure you take a copy of your proof of no claims discount

Great place, easy to book accommodation

We hired a campervan from Cruise New Zealand in 2003, for a week during a 3 week visit to my daughter. It was a Ford Transit LWB conversion. We enjoyed it very much but I could not help thinking that the price per day, even in the off season when we were there, was quite high, and to hire a car and use B & B and backpackers hostels would have been just as cheap. We also found the sites a bit jaded compared to those in the UK. However if you like the life, as we do, then go for it.
