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 Ģ50.00 . 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 have motorhomed twice in NZ - would thoroughly recommend it. Don't have to live out of a suitcase, get used to one bed, very friendly country. go for it and enjoy! We would love to do it again.

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.

I know it's a bit far away ... but I thought some of you may have been to New Zealand and used a campervan to tour around.
