The best way to get to know a country is on a road trip, New Zealand is no exception.
If you like to take your time, you have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery, stop and take it all in. New Zealand has no shortage of incredible places to spend the night immersed in the beautiful landscape. If you can’t afford a camper van, you can always rent a car, giving you the flexibility of staying in hostels, hotels or even a tent.
