Where to stay in New Zealand - Town and City Guides


1. Wellington - New Zealand (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet

This is the Wellington region chapter from Lonely Planet's New Zealand guidebook.


2. Auckland - New Zealand (ebook Chapter)

It's hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city than Auckland. Its two harbours frame an isthmus punctuated by volcanic cones and surrounded by fertile farmland. Within an hour's drive of the city there are dense tracts of rainforest, thermal springs, wineries and wildlife reserves.


3. Christchurch & Canterbury - New Zealand (Chapter)

Visiting the country's second-largest city as it's being rebuilt and reborn is both interesting and inspiring, while just a short drive from Christchurch's dynamic re-emergence, Banks Peninsula conceals hidden bays and beaches - a backdrop for kayaking and wildlife cruises.


4. Queenstown & Wanaka - New Zealand (Chapter)

With a cinematic background of mountains and lakes you actually have seen in the movies, and a 'what can we think of next?' array of adventure activities, it's little wonder Queenstown and this region tops the itineraries of many travellers.
