Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in New Zealand

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

    A week allows for a taste of both islands. You could explore Auckland's vibrant city life and volcanic cones, then fly to Queenstown for stunning scenery and adventure activities like bungy jumping or a scenic Milford Sound cruise. Consider a quick trip to the Waitomo Caves to see the glowworms. It's a jam-packed itinerary, but you'll see a lot!
  • What are the best short term rentals in New Zealand?

    Among the short term rentals in New Zealand, The Terminus, Driftwood - lake & Mtn Views - Outdoor Bath - Private and The Love Shack Luxury Lake Edge Escape are the most popular ones.

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in the country?

    A month gives you time for a more in-depth experience. Start in the North Island, visiting Rotorua's geothermal wonders (Te Puia is a must-see), Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata, and exploring the Bay of Islands. Then, fly south to explore the South Island: Queenstown, Fiordland National Park (Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound), Wanaka, and the West Coast's glaciers (Franz Josef and Fox). Consider driving the scenic routes like the Great Alpine Highway.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in New Zealand?

    Parehua Resort, Oxley's Superior Apartment and Kokomo Retreat are the best short term rentals with a pool in New Zealand.

    The best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in New Zealand are Driftwood - lake & Mtn Views - Outdoor Bath - Private, Platinum Queenstown and Parehua Resort.

  • What are the most charming areas for a weekend getaway?

  • Is the country safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Generally, yes, it's considered safe for solo travellers, including women. However, standard precautions for solo travel should always be observed, such as being aware of your surroundings, particularly at night, and avoiding walking alone in isolated areas.
  • Which region is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The North Island's Bay of Islands and Hawke's Bay regions are known for their generally pleasant weather, with warm summers and mild winters. However, weather in New Zealand can be unpredictable, so packing layers is always advisable.
  • What should one do if they lose their passport or documents?

    Contact your nearest police station to report the loss and obtain a police report. You'll then need to contact your embassy or consulate to arrange for a replacement passport. It's advisable to make copies of your passport and other important documents before your trip and keep them separate from the originals.
  • What seasonal celebrations make the country special?

    The country celebrates Waitangi Day (6 February), commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Numerous regional events and festivals occur throughout the year, reflecting the country's diverse culture and Maori heritage.
