Campervan hire Christchurch NZ

Often other travellers or residents of New Zealand claim that Christchurch is a desolate city that had nothing to offer after the earthquake. In fact, it is larger but much less touristy than Queenstown, and its architecture makes it probably one of the most “English” cities in the country. The traces of the 2011 earthquake are still clearly visible today. These include places listed as Christchurch Cathedral and parts of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. These have not been built or renovated to date - you can still take a look at them. Overall, the city exudes a sometimes almost macabre charm that you can hardly escape.

Since the city centre was particularly affected by the earthquake, the Re:START shopping area invites you to an exciting walk and a nice party. It is a constantly growing project, in which several fashion, literature and home accessories shops as well as restaurants and bars have been arranged in colourful containers. In the old university district you will not only find a wide range of cultural activities, but also the recently opened Art Gallery with old European paintings and fascinating exhibitions and installations by New Zealand artists. The restored tram, whose history dates back to 1880, runs through the city centre. In one section there are small cafes and bars lovingly arranged with a wide range of gastronomic offerings. Just like in Auckland, the botanical gardens are worth a stroll. There is also a large Farmer’s Market, where not only local farmers offer their produce. Such markets are actually always recommended if you have time, because there you can buy not only the famous Manuka honey in all its varieties, but also fresh fruit and vegetables, which are often cheaper here than in fairly expensive supermarkets.

new zealand north and south island travel report

My absolute recommendations for hikes include the Tongariro Crossing and a trip on the Whanganui River on the North Island. On the South Island you should kayak in the Abel Tasman National Park and walk the Kepler Track. It's more of a word for exchanging food and lodging for your labour. A gift from heaven for campers in New Zealand are the public toilets. Unlike in Germany, you don't have to search for hours for a clean, free toilet.

Experience reports from campervan renters

However, the north of the North Island remains frost-free even in winter. As a typical backpacker country, you will always meet young people with Working Holiday Visas who spend a whole year there. But also "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" fans languish from one film set to the next. The sockets in the camper only work when you are connected to the electricity. I think it's a mistake to give the North Island a maximum of 10 days. Certainly it is scenically different from the southern half, but the many magnificent squares and streets are well worth staying for a night or two. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, my husband suggested during chemotherapy that we make our dream trip after treatment. The illness had made us both aware of how valuable health and this life are.

Kaiteriteri is the starting point for visiting the Abel Tasman National Park. We stayed overnight on a (unauthorized) parking lot in a beautiful bay. But we were not aware of this. From this bay the boats go into the national park. Read more about campervan hire New Zealand here. The next morning we went on the ferry with hiking boots and daypack.

Both are proven platforms for finding accommodation worldwide. Also the biggest swing in the world can be found here.
