New Zealand : book your hotel

The paradise of the Pacific, New Zealand will leave you with a sense of awe. It's easy to see why it was chosen as the setting of Middle Earth, with a landscape that includes almost mythic green valleys and snow-capped mountains. And like its brother across the ocean, you will discover the most unique and exotic animals like the kiwi and kakapo. A rich culture complements the natural beauty with friendly and down-to-earth locals that will make you feel welcome. Whether you're travelling for business or pleasure, don't forget our Best Price Guarantee means that you can be sure of booking at the best rate.

New Zealand is a place that has something for everyone, and that is why it is one of the hottest holiday destinations in the world. Thrill-seekers will get more than their fill in a country responsible for creating some of the most adrenaline-pumping activities, such as bungee jumping and jet boating. Adventurers can explore the diverse landscape that is guaranteed to make you wonder with its unique flora and fauna. Foodies and wine-lovers can experience some unique and delicious dishes and award-winning wineries and vineyards. With so much to see and do, the only problem is how to get to it all.

New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere and experiences summer from December to February and winter from June to August. During summer, the nights are cool, and the days rarely exceed 30°C, but keep in mind this time attracts the most holiday goers. The winter months are the best time to experience snowy mountain regions such as Queenstown, but make sure you bring warm layers. New Zealand is a great all-year-round destination with a climate that is very changeable and extremely mild.

One of the more accessible and budget-friendly travel options will always be public transport, and New Zealand offers buses, trains and ferries. Public transport can also provide amazing opportunities to experience the spectacular scenery along the way. If you want to travel at your own pace, renting a car is the way to go, and for more short-term travel, you can hire some bicycles, which will make the scenery last even longer.

New Zealand is where the bungee jump was invented, so it's only fitting to begin your trip by taking a (safe) leap of faith. And to keep your heart racing, take a ride on a jet boat, dive the Poor Knight Islands on the Tutukaka Coast or go whale watching in Kaikōura. Discover the towering peaks and glassy waters of Milford Sound, the bursting geysers of Rotorua and the snow-capped mountains of Queenstown. Visit the major cities of Auckland, Wellington and Hamilton in the North Island and Christchurch in the South Island, where you'll find no shortage of things to do, places to see, food to eat and more than a few surprises along the way.
