[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family (college/young adult children) is thinking about going to New Zealand next summer. Please tell me everything you can about NZ and planning a trip there. Since it would be their winter, is it still worth going? Any secrets to reasonable airfare and lodging? Which cities are best to visit/fly into? Any and all info would be appreciated. I’ve never planned a family trip outside of the US. It is overwhelming![/quote]

Lots of NZ posts in the forum so search.

The North Island will be temperate for winter for the most part — Auckland will be a lot like this area in a balmy winter here. It will be overcast and gray but not real cold. You can push north to the Bay of Islands/Russell in hopes of better weather.

South Island is where there be true winter including extreme skiing near Queenstown.

Best cities to visit are: Auckland, Rotorua, Whitianga for the Hot water Beach, Dunedin and Christchurch on the South Island (assuming Christchurch is rebuilt fully since the earthquake).[/quote]
