Months before the trip, I spent countless hours researching and planning for our itinerary. I checked many websites, travel guides and books. Spoke to lots of friends, locals and relatives.

This website tells you about our experiences as a first-timer in this beautiful country travelling in a rental car.

It covers opinions on:

• where we slept (20 different beds in 28 days!)

• where we ate

• where we travelled

• what we did

You will also find out more on…

• Our recommendations on accommodations

• Great yummy restaurants/cafes

• Fun things to do (especially if you have small children)

• Baby-friendly places

• Shopping, shopping, shopping

• Popular attractions

• Useful tips (when you travel with a little one)

• Off the beaten path experiences

We will tell you our first encounters and observations in all the places and with different people as we travel in our rental car in New Zealand.

And if you have small children like us, we will share on where are the baby-friendly places and which ones aren’t!

Parents, I’m sure you will agree that this is a great concern when you travel with little kiddos.

So are you planning for your first New Zealand holiday?

If your answer is yes, you have looked in the right place. If not, the information presented in our website will get you to start thinking!

So what is the first thing that comes to your mind when New Zealand is mentioned?

Look at these words. Do they sound familiar?

Sheep, Kiwi fruit, mountains, oceans, alps, picturesque landscape, sunshine, idyllic beaches, blue skies, the All Blacks, silver fern, wine country, ski fields…

New Zealand is a big country that is made up of the North and South Island. And yes, you definitely, definitely need a road map when you move around in a rental car in New Zealand!

It has lots to offer to any person, of any budget, from any country, for any age and for whatever length of travel.

This is an ideal place to sit back and indulge. It is also a great place to satisfy your adrenaline rush and get active.

Take a New Zealand cruise, hire a rental car in New Zealand. Shop for a New Zealand gift.

It’s one place you won’t get bored. There is something for everyone. Anytime. Anyplace.

You will find your answers here. We can guide you to some point but the best answer is still to:

BE THERE, DO IT!
