About this title

From the Back Cover

Updated annually, Independent Travellers guides concentrate on the most relevant and useful facts and tips on budget travel, accommodation and eating. As well as practical advice, the wealth of background information helps you to experience the destination, not just visit it. Each guide sets out a series of routes that make the best use of all the transport options - trains, buses, car hire, flights - with detailed information on distances and timings.
With a greater percentage of national park land than anywhere else on earth, and a population of just 4 million in a country the size of Great Britain or Colorado, New Zealand is a nature-lover's heaven. Yet as well as its spectacular mountains, pristine coastline and stunning scenery, New Zealand offers vibrant cities, outgoing and self-confident people and the fascinating culture of the Maoris.
Independent Travellers New Zealand is your guide to every aspect of this unique nation.
