Thank you John and Laura for listening to our long wish list regarding our New Zealand holiday. 1st Nov to 30 Nov 2017 The holiday was excellent and in most parts exceeded our expectations. The variety of B&B,s Guest Houses,Home Stay,and Hotels was excellent. We were blessed with superb weather throughout which made our visit more enjoyable. There are so many memories of different sights and experiences we now have, Bay of Islands,Hole in the Rock,Hobbiton,Rotorua Thermal Park,Napier,Wellington and that only North Island. Kayaking on Abel Tasman Sea,Numerous Glaciers all accessed on foot,Superb Forest Walks,Countless Glacial Lakes and eye watering views,Wildlife experiences from Bird Life to Stunning sea life,and much much more on South Island In all over 4300km travelled and 1000,s of photos taken. Only a couple of minor gripes,Our Farm Stay is now not a working farm,Budget Car Rental offices were greatly understaffed and we and many others queued for considerable time to obtain hire cars. Automatic cars are not the best suited for motoring New Zealands roads.For a safer more enjoyable drive request a manual car
