Frequently Asked Questions about short term rentals in New Zealand

  • What attractions should you visit during a week-long stay?

    A week is a short time to see everything, so focus on one island. In the North Island, explore Auckland's vibrant city, visit Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata for Lord of the Rings fans, and soak in the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, including Te Puia with its geysers and Maori cultural performances. In the South Island, Queenstown offers adventure activities like bungy jumping and stunning scenery, while Fiordland National Park boasts Milford Sound's breathtaking fjords. Consider a scenic flight over either region for breathtaking views.
  • What are the best short term rentals in New Zealand?

  • What attractions should you visit when you spend a month in New Zealand?

    With a month, you can explore both islands! Start in Auckland, then head south through the North Island, experiencing Rotorua's geothermal activity and Tongariro National Park's volcanic landscapes. Take the Interislander ferry to the South Island, exploring the West Coast's glaciers and Hokitika Gorge. Queenstown and Fiordland National Park are must-sees, and consider driving the scenic route along the Southern Alps. Allow time for smaller towns and unexpected discoveries – that's part of the charm.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in New Zealand?

    Parehua Resort, Picton Waterfront Apartments and Kokomo Retreat are the best short term rentals with a pool in New Zealand.

  • What currency is used, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The currency is the New Zealand dollar (NZD). ATMs are readily available in all towns and cities, even in smaller, more remote areas. Most accept international cards.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in New Zealand?

    The best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in New Zealand are Cedar- Magnificent View - Private Outdoor Bath, Platinum Queenstown and Parehua Resort.

  • What are the most charming areas to spend a weekend in New Zealand?

    For a charming weekend getaway, consider the charming town of Arrowtown near Queenstown in the South Island, known for its gold-rush history and picturesque setting. Alternatively, explore the Bay of Islands in the North Island, with its beautiful beaches and historic Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Both offer stunning scenery and opportunities for hiking, watersports, or simply relaxing.
  • What are the best short term rentals for families and kids in New Zealand?

    The best short term rentals for families and kids in New Zealand are Cedar- Magnificent View - Private Outdoor Bath, The Terminus and Platinum Queenstown.

  • Which areas are best for an extended stay?

    For an extended stay, consider basing yourself in areas with diverse activities. Queenstown offers adventure and stunning scenery, while the Bay of Islands provides a mix of relaxation and exploration. If you prefer a slower pace, consider Nelson or Wanaka, both offering beautiful scenery and a relaxed atmosphere. The choice depends on your interests and preferred travel style.
  • Is New Zealand safe for solo travelers, including women?

    New Zealand is generally considered very safe for solo travelers, including women. However, like any country, it's wise to take standard precautions: be aware of your surroundings, avoid walking alone at night in isolated areas, and let someone know your itinerary.
  • Which region is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The best weather generally depends on the time of year. During summer (December-February), the North Island's Bay of Islands and Hawke's Bay regions often enjoy warm, sunny weather. However, New Zealand's weather can be unpredictable, so packing layers is always recommended.
  • What do you do if you lose your passport or documents in New Zealand?

    Contact your nearest police station to report the loss and obtain a police report. Then, contact your embassy or consulate immediately to begin the process of obtaining an emergency passport or travel documents. Keep copies of your passport and other important documents separate from the originals.
  • What seasonal celebrations make New Zealand special?

    New Zealand celebrates Waitangi Day (February 6th), commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Many towns and cities hold events and celebrations. Christmas and New Year's Eve are also widely celebrated, often with outdoor events and festivals throughout the country.
