New Zealand has mild temperatures, moderately high rainfall, and many hours of sunshine. Winter temperatures (June-August) can range from 0° to 18° (32°F-65°F) & Summer temperatures (December to February) 9° to 26° (48°F-79°F). Because of New Zealand’s latitude & wide ranging altitude, New Zealand’s weather can change very quickly. Days outside of the above averages are not uncommon. It is recommended that a warm windproof jacket is carried during all seasons. Note: Due to the lack of air pollution it is easy to burn in the sun, even on relatively cool and cloudy days.

All visitors to New Zealand need to be carrying a passport that is valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure date. Many people will qualify for visa-free entry, but depending on your country of origin, some will need to apply for a visa before travelling. You can obtain visa requirements from the New Zealand Immigration Service – www.immigration.govt.nz

IMPORTANT

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

DRIVING

The New Zealand Book 2016 - 17 | New Zealand Dollars

Travel Insurance vs Car Insurance - Personal travel insurance is a contract between the insurance company & YOU. It is NOT between the rental car company & the insurance company. Therefore you’ll need to negotiate a level of insurance cover with the car company & any claims will be deducted from your credit card. It’s then up to you to reclaim it from your travel insurance company if appropriate.

ACCOMMODATION

RATINGS

Star ratings are approx. only & intended to help you gauge the level & type most suited to your needs. Wherever possible we have used the NZ official Qualmark rating which means properties have undergone a rigorous, independent assessment. As not all properties are Qualmark rated, we have tried to estimate an approx. star rating for the remainder. We stress that this is a guide only. We do not take any responsibility for a change in standards. It is also important that you recognise the difference between styles of accomm. eg. 5 star motels will not have the same level of services or facilities as 5 star hotels. Some properties have a range of styles making them difficult to categorise.

HAPPY

When you’re in control and the wide-open road is ahead of you, you can’t help but be happy. When you go by camper you choose where you go. You even choose the view you wake up to and the surprises you come across. There’s no better way to discover New Zealand.

Roam free. No other method of travel offers such freedom, with a campervan affording almost the same reach as a motorcar with the convenience of your own ‘home’ on board. Outside of the busiest spots in peak season, campsite bookings aren’t required, allowing you to follow a flexible campervan route at your own pace lingering when the time is right and heading in the direction your mood takes you.

Wake up to a new view everyday. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to parking up for the night in some of the most picturesque locations. With each stop comes the opportunity to explore new territory, get a fresh perspective, whether a basic council camp or scenic reserve, to groomed holiday parks hugging the coastline to plenty of designated freedom camping spots... It’s amazing what you can see through the campervan window.

Immerse yourself with nature. Between golden sunrises and fiery sunsets, bright days and dark nights illuminated by the moon, stars and campfire, the sound of

wind in the trees and rain on the roof, the smells of pine forest and seaside saltiness... Few other forms of travel offer so much daily interaction and connection with the natural world.

Be social. A beloved pastime for generations, the camping holiday is as popular as ever and enjoyed by folks from all over the world and all walks of life. You’ll encounter a camping culture that is welcoming and kids needn’t be the only ones making new friends. Campsites are famous for their conviviality and communal spirit – striking up a conversation and sharing travel stories takes little more than a linger around the barbecue or other shared area.

Allow for surprises. On a campervan road trip, getting there is more than half the fun. It’s all about the journey and the experiences you have along the way. Wake up amongst the vines with a winery haven overnight stay, or add bikes and stop off at one of the many NZ Cycle trails! Slow down, relax and embrace the experiences.

SHANTYTOWN While the South Islands West Coast is well known for its magnificent scenery & glaciers no visit to the area is complete without experiencing Shantytown. The discovery of gold in 1864 led to a population “explosion” - from around 300 to almost 30,000 residents. Isolation, rugged terrain & extreme weather conditions produced stories of fortitude & ingenuity. Shantytown tells these stories through a fascinating mix of experience & displays. Ride the Steam Train along an original tramway through native rainforest, stop for a photo, our friendly loco drivers are happy to show you the cab. Experience the sights & sounds of a working sawmill, watch the mighty sluice gun in action. Follow the water races to the Gold Claim where our Gold Miner will tutor you to pan for your own gold – a strike is guaranteed! The Village, borne of the gold rush offers delicious refreshments from King Dick Cafe, while the kids can enjoy the flying fox, or try their hand at the Gold-Rush Treasure Hunt. Explore the 30 shops & buildings that show a slice of life from the early days. Enjoy ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’ in our new Holographic Theatre, a 10 minute tale of hardship & murder. For a memento of your visit to Shantytown nothing is better than to grab a costume and get an old time photo. There is so much to see & do at Shantytown. Open 8.30am-5pm. First train departs 9.45am & then regular intervals throughout the day until 4pm. Entry includes steam train ride (gold panning paid direct).

» The Catlins Coast wildlife – Hector Dolphins, sea-lions, seals & abundant birdlife.

Tucked away at the bottom, Fiordland is home to many of NZ’s scenic icons – Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Mitre Peak and the Great Walks. Less known but well worth visiting is neighbouring Southland with its amazing array of scenery, abundance of wildlife and extremely hospitable locals. The signposted Southern Scenic Route from Queenstown to Dunedin has been designed to help you get the most out of your visit.

Whilst not extreme, many people consider the Milford and/ or Routeburn Tracks to be a personal challenge. The terrain is often steep and the track surface can vary from flat and maintained, to rocky and even flooded at times. A moderate level of fitness is recommended to ensure that you are able to fully enjoy these walks. If you are not a regular walker, we suggest you begin a regime 6 to 8 weeks before departure, gradually increasing the distance and adding some hills into your training circuit. The weather in Fiordland can be very unpredictable. Please adhere to our recommended equipment list and be prepared for every eventuality, as it is not uncommon to experience snow in the middle of summer. A full information pack detailing your walk and how to prepare will be issued upon booking. ANZCRO is happy to answer any questions.

The first Nikau palms indicate you are close to Lewis Hut.

Day 6 - Heaphy Hut to Kohaihai (road end) 16.2 km/5 hours - The track south passes through forests of rata, karaka & nikau groves before reaching the clearing at Scotts beach.
