Frequently asked questions about resorts in New Zealand

  • What are the top attractions in New Zealand?

    Picking just a few top attractions is tough, as New Zealand is brimming with incredible sights! For stunning natural beauty, you've got Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound in Fiordland National Park, the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, and the dramatic landscapes of Tongariro National Park, home to Mount Ngauruhoe (Mount Doom from Lord of the Rings). Adventure seekers might head to Queenstown for bungy jumping or white-water rafting, while those who prefer a more relaxed pace could explore Abel Tasman National Park's golden beaches.
  • What are the best resorts with a swimming pool in New Zealand?

    Avalon Resort, Regal Palms Resort and Hanmer Springs Top 10 Holiday Park are among the best resorts with a swimming pool in New Zealand.

  • Which airports are the biggest in New Zealand?

    Auckland Airport (AKL) is by far the largest and busiest, serving as the main international gateway. Wellington Airport (WLG) is the second largest, and is the main airport for the country's capital. Christchurch Airport (CHC) is another significant airport, particularly important for the South Island.
  • What are the best resorts with jacuzzi in New Zealand?

    Driftaway Queenstown, Avalon Resort and Regal Palms Resort are the best resorts with a jacuzzi in New Zealand.

  • Is it common to pay with cash or card in New Zealand?

    Card payments are overwhelmingly common throughout New Zealand. While many places will accept cash, it's far more convenient and generally expected to use a debit or credit card, especially in tourist areas.
  • What are the best family friendly resorts in New Zealand?

    The best family friendly resorts in New Zealand are Hokitika's Kiwi Holiday Park And Motels, Driftaway Queenstown and Avalon Resort.

  • Is the driving culture in New Zealand considered safe for tourists?

    Driving in New Zealand can be challenging due to varied road conditions, including winding mountain passes and gravel roads. While generally safe, tourists should be aware of the different driving conditions and exercise caution, especially in less populated areas. Driving on the left-hand side of the road takes some getting used to for many international visitors. A valid driver's licence from your home country is usually sufficient, but always check the specific requirements.
  • What are the best pet friendly resorts in New Zealand?

    The best pet friendly resorts in New Zealand are Rainforest Retreat, Tasman Holiday Parks - Papamoa Beach and The Sandcastle.

  • Are there any important traditions to honour while travelling in New Zealand?

    Respecting Maori culture is paramount. Learning a few basic Maori greetings like 'Kia ora' (hello) is a thoughtful gesture. When visiting areas of cultural significance, such as marae (meeting houses), it's important to follow the guidance of local guides and be mindful of cultural protocols. Taking care of the environment is also very important to New Zealanders.
  • Are there any noteworthy festivals unique to New Zealand?

    New Zealand hosts many festivals throughout the year. Waitangi Day (6 February) commemorates the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, a significant event in New Zealand's history. Many regional events and festivals celebrate Maori culture and heritage. Specific events vary from year to year, so it's advisable to check local event listings closer to your travel dates.
  • What areas offer the best experiences for a full week in New Zealand?

    A week allows for a good exploration of either the North or South Island, but not both comprehensively. The North Island offers a blend of city life (Auckland), geothermal activity (Rotorua), and stunning coastlines (Bay of Islands). The South Island boasts dramatic scenery, from the glaciers of Fiordland to the vineyards of Marlborough and the mountains of Queenstown. Many people choose to focus on one island for a week-long trip.
  • Where should you go for a fun weekend in New Zealand?

    Queenstown is a popular choice for an action-packed weekend, offering adventure activities like bungy jumping and skiing (depending on the season). Alternatively, a relaxing weekend could be spent exploring the wineries of Marlborough or the beaches of the Bay of Islands.
  • Are there parts of New Zealand with consistently good weather throughout the year?

    No part of New Zealand has consistently good weather year-round. The climate varies significantly depending on location and altitude. Areas like Nelson and parts of the North Island's east coast tend to have more sunshine hours, but even these areas experience periods of rain.
  • What are the emergency contacts for medical or security situations in New Zealand?

    For medical emergencies, dial 111. For police, fire, or ambulance, also dial 111.
