New Zealand may be a small island nation, but the variety of cities, towns, people and landscape you’ll encounter on your travels will make you wish you had more time to explore. To help you find your way around, we’ve divided this guide into North Island (page XX) with its twelve regions, and South Island (page XX), with six regions. Familiarise yourself with the region and then get more information on specific towns (see the region and town index, page XX). The regional sections give locals’ highlights contributed by our advertisers, team members and friends on social networks; climate guides give an idea of what to expect from the skies as you travel around the Land of the Long White Cloud, and we’ve picked out some great sights, events and activities to see and take part in on your journeys. While the everyday world seems to get busier, your getaway should be chilled-out and timeless. We realise that sometimes time is scarce, so we have other ways to help you to find the perfect spot to pitch your tent, hook up the caravan or locate a cabin closest to your favourite fishing spot. Within this guide, look for the Txt2Check symbol. Our website continues to be the best place to find information and book your holiday in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific Islands. At jasons.co.nz you can also pick up some hot deals, be inspired by travel articles and share reviews with others who have also been there and done that. Our booking app for iPhone and iPad (download free from iTunes) brings trusted Jasons information to your fingertips. Using locationbased technology, this nifty app helps you find the nearest places to stay and the must-do things to enjoy while you’re there.

HELPFUL INFORMATION

Motel Association is the national industry association of motels.   For more information contact them at www.nzmotels.co.nz

Motels in New Zealand offer a special  selfcatering accommodation experience. Almost all motels in New Zealand offer kitchen facilities in your unit or room, bedding, toilet and bathroom facilities and a welcoming on-site owner and/or manager. Apartments are self-contained units  which are similar to motels but usually multi-storey. Apartments often have  separate bedrooms, a bit more space and additional in-unit facilities (eg laundry and full kitchen facilities). Motor lodges are similar to hotels, although the range of facilities offered may vary considerably. The larger motor lodges often provide a restaurant onsite, and many lodges may also provide kitchen facilities.

International Symbol  of Access (ISA) Many motels and apartments have some facilities and accommodation suitable for disabled visitors. Please look for this symbol in their advertising and check with them directly. Further resources for disabled visitors are available at www.weka.net.nz

Note on Pricing Tariff varies widely by location, facilities and time of year. All prices include GST but are subject to change – please check at time of booking.

What to do . Where to stay . How to get there. .

Motels Also known as motel apartments, motor lodges, motor inns or serviced apartments  – suit both independent and group travellers. Most have full self-catering facilities with well equipped kitchens and bathrooms. Car parking is usually provided right by your door. Many motels are privately owned and operated providing personal service with local knowledge. The tariff is set on a single and double rate with minimal charges for extra adults, and less for children. Unless otherwise arranged, motels are generally available from 2pm onwards and the departure time is usually 10am. All motel units are serviced daily. During peak holiday periods it is wise to reserve ahead or follow a pre-booked fixed itinerary, but for complete freedom just travel and stay where you wish.

Apartments and  Self-contained Units The typical unit has one or two separate bedrooms, a separate bathroom and a dining/living area with telephone, radio and colour TV. Most have full kitchen facilities complete with utensils sufficient for you to prepare a meal. A mix of single, double, queen or king size beds is available to suit your group, and all bedding and linen is provided. © Tourism New Zealand

“isTetheIka-a-Māui Māori

There are twelve regions in the North Island, each with its own unique claim to fame. Here’s a brief guide to each, so when one strikes your fancy read on to find out more. Not sure how much time to allot to each place? Always go for more than less – the most common thing we hear is ‘I wish I had more time to explore!’.

ew Zealand’s trout fishing capital enjoys a capital location on the shores of Lake Taupo. There is a wealth of geothermic activity and cultural Maori experiences here, namely in Rotorua.

Taranaki p00 A fantastic area to stay and play with world-class gardens to admire and plenty of tramps to explore in Egmont National Park.

There is always something on in Auckland region; Tennis fans flock to Auckland in early January for the ASB Classic & Heineken Open. Stay on until the end of January, to savour the succulent fare at the Seafood festival. Serious fashionistas will love Air New Zealand Fashion Week in September. North of Auckland city, the Hibiscus Coast is dotted with stretches of golden sand beaches, but if you yearn for white snow, head 8km south of Orewa and at Snowplanet you can chill in the snow year-round. For a spot of indulgence, soak away your cares at the hot pools at Waiwera, or head north to Matakana for a long liquid lunch at a vineyard.

Auckland residents enjoy a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle with vineyards, parks, sandy beaches and rugged ranges right on their doorstep.. Two beautiful harbours, the Waitemata and the Manukau, provide a scenic canvas for this diverse metropolitan area, which encompasses 48 volcanoes, numerous oﬀ shore islands, charming suburbs, a delightful number of vineyards, thousands of hectares of native bush and kilometres of stunning coastline that beckon to be explored.

From the Britomart precinct to the Wynyard Quarter, you’ll find affordable, tasty fare and million-dollar sea views. Offshore, Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf islands are a scenic delight, with a host of leisure options from bushwalks and hotsprings on remote Great Barrier Island, to vineyard visits and sandy beaches on Waiheke.

Bush-clad Rangitoto Island, just a short ferry ride from downtown Auckland, is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Its 600 year old volcanic cone is clearly visible from many parts of the city and the one hour trek to the summit is rewarded with 360-degree views.

Just a ferry trip across the harbour from downtown Auckland, or a quick drive across the Harbour Bridge, is Auckland’s inviting North Shore. Here you can enjoy strolling historic Devonport with its charming village atmosphere including galleries, antique stores, craft outlets, cafés and friendly restaurants. The New Zealand Navy is based here too with an impressive fleet of navy ships. In between Devonport and Takapuna are a variety of beaches to explore. Pick a favourite for a picnic or walk between them all. Takapuna has a busy city centre with a long sandy beach, plenty of boutique shops and lively nightlife. The Bruce Mason Centre — the Shore’s premier theatre — is found here too. Further north is Albany, a once quiet country village now boasts a large retail area, Massey University and the North Harbour Stadium. The North Shore’s eastern coastline has many lovely beaches to enjoy, culminating in the broad expanse of Long Bay — a favourite family picnic and barbecue area. To the west in Birkenhead are stands of kauri forest with walking tracks for all ages and abilities to enjoy.

Auckland South Auckland South is where Polynesian culture flourishes along with farmland harvests and colourful botanic gardens. This region extends to the prosperous farmlands of Clevedon and Whitford, and much of South Auckland comes under the umbrella of Manukau where the kids would love a visit to Rainbow’s End theme park. Enjoy the walking trails and colourful gardens at the Botanic Garden in Manurewa. Clevedon’s polo ground is ideal for a picnic, while the farming district of Karaka is famous for its annual thoroughbred yearling sales.

Fringed by the bush-clad Waitakere Ranges to the west and steeped in a relaxed outdoor lifestyle, Waitakere residents enjoy the area’s beautiful vineyards, parks, beaches, bushwalks and a wealth of coastal wildlife right on their doorstep. The waves roll in along the black volcanic sands at Piha and Muriwai Beaches, where you‘ll find some great beach breaks (but be careful of strong rips, and on a hot day, don’t forget to wear your jandals as the black sands can get really hot!). These towns offer easy access to central Auckland while still being far enough away to be the perfect retreat.

Close to Whakatane, Awakeri is blessed with mineral hot springs.

Best known as simply ‘The Mount’, Mount Maunganui is one of New Zealand’s best-loved holiday destinations. With its 20km unbroken golden beach, this is a haven for surfers, kayakers and those looking for a sundowner to last into the evening.

State Highway 30 RD2, Whakatane Phone 07 304 9117 Email info@awakerisprings.co.nz www.awakerisprings.co.nz

This beautiful Bay of Plenty resort takes its name from the prominent hill, known in Maori as Mauao, providing walks and hikes for a panoramic view of the coastline with relaxing outdoor hot water salt pools waiting for you at the base. Mount Maunganui has two magnificent beaches: Ocean Beach for surfing, and a harbourside beach for sheltered swimming. You can also golf, fish, kayak or do a flightseeing tour out of Tauranga airport if that’s more your style.

Refer to listing under Whakatane.

If you’re ﬁt, be sure to climb to the top of Mount Maunganui itself (232m). The walk is steep and takes about two hours but you’ll be rewarded with stunning views along the coast. At one time an almost impregnable Maori fortress, Mount Maunganui still bears signs of excavations made to create the fortiﬁcations.

BAY OF PLENTY WAIHI BEACH

WHAKATANE BAY OF PLENTY

Waihi Beach

Whakatane

See Bay of Plenty editorial & map pages 138-139

The laidback coastal town of Whakatane is the main centre of the Eastern Bay of Plenty, with a spectacular location overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The town is famous for its deep sea fishing and marine sports, and keen anglers will find plenty of fishing charters to test their skills. Offshore, White Island (Whakaari) is New Zealand’s only marine volcano, and local operators will take you on a guided tour to view the volcano’s steaming vents and the old sulphur mine. Whakatane boasts amazing nearby beaches like the 11km-long Ohope Beach.

FOR MORE INFO I-Site Visitor Information Centre - Destination Great Lake Taupo Tongariro Street, Ph 07 376 0027

Here you’ll enjoy views of the snowcapped mountains in Tongariro National Park and on-the-water activities on New Zealand’s largest lake, Lake Taupo (it is the size of Singapore). Taupo’s city centre is only a five-minute walk from the waters of the Waikato River and Lake Taupo. The clear water of Lake Taupo is an obvious haven for those who love water-sports. Sailing, fishing, diving, kayaking, paddle boats, float planes – there are so many activities, you’ll be stumped as to what not to do! Trout are abundant in Lake Taupo, especially because the flow of the mighty Waikato is too strong for eels (who also enjoy a feed of the big fish), so take some time and find your best trout-fishing spot. The rainbow trout are one of the last-known resources of natural wild trout in the world. New Zealand law prohibits the sale of trout, and they can only be caught by sports fishermen. Take a stroll along the lake’s edges right into town; when you reach the giant trout you’ve reached the town centre with its many shops, al fresco cafés and restaurants. Many people come for a weekend to Taupo simply to enjoy the shopping and relaxed vibe. There are a lot of talented artists and sculptors in Taupo, so take time to browse the local galleries and stores. If you continue along the waterfront you’ll come to the Taupo Domain, the Museum and the Great Lake Centre. Carrying on you’ll come to the marina where the float plane is moored. It’s fascinating watching it take off and land, and taking a flight would be a spectacular way of viewing Taupo’s geothermal areas. Take a closer look at the Central Plateau’s geothermal wonders, head just north of Taupo to Wairakei and explore Craters of the Moon and Huka Falls. If you’re a mountain biker there are some great tracks out there and there’s a golf course too. One highly recommended detour is to the Aratiatia Rapids. Every day the dam opens and you get to see the water roar down the valley. The times vary so check with Destination Lake Taupo to make sure you’re on time. Taupo is also well known for its sky-diving. If adrenalin is not your thing, relaxing in a thermal hot spring probably is, and there are a few options to choose from. In winter the focus moves from the lake to the mountains. Only 155km from Mt Ruapehu, a lot of skiers prefer to stay in Taupo. Winter is a magical time in Taupo – it doesn’t get snow but the drop in temperature means the geothermal activity is more apparent. Some mornings, the lake seems to be boiling as the steam rises; gutters leak steam and the river area is shrouded in heavy mist. It really is beautiful.

We’re out there!

Get on your bike and cycle the Hauraki Rail Trail! Start off in Waikino and, 47 kilometres later, pedal into Thames having passed by or stopped at three pubs, a winery, a cheese factory, the giant L&P bottle, the amazing Karangahake Gorge, a one kilometre tunnel, and the stunning Owharoa Falls (great for a summery dip). If you stay in Thames, don’t forget the Saturday morning Thames street market for some breakfast or picnic supplies. It’s a very civilised day-trip and an exceptionally cheap and easy way to see some of this beautiful country.

HAWKE’S BAY HASTINGS

HAWKE’S BAY HAVELOCK NORTH

NAPIER HAWKE’S BAY

Havelock North

Napier

See Hawke’s Bay editorial & map pages 102-103

Nestled at the foot of Te Mata Peak, Havelock North is known for its wines, charming village atmosphere and beautiful gardens.

Famous for its sunshine, architecture and award-winning wines, this beautiful seaside city is New Zealand’s Art Deco Capital. Napier is a fantastic jumping off point for excursions to gannet colonies and an overﬂowing number of world-class wineries.

Havelock North’s cobbled streets are lined with specialty shops, crafts and cute cafés. Travel just outside the town to boutique wineries for tastings or visit Te Mata Park for a stroll. Te Mata’s towering peak oﬀers panoramic views from its summit. Check out Keirunga Gardens with their world-class miniature railway, and Keirunga House, a hub for local arts and crafts.

After the disastrous 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake levelled much of the town, Napier rose from the ashes and re-built in the art deco and Spanish mission style of the day. Today, thousands of visitors join the town in celebrating Napier’s 1930s heritage with a huge Art Deco Weekend in February. Don’t worry if you miss it, you can still explore the city’s art deco gems on one of the twice daily guided Art Deco Walks that leave from the Information Centre.

The town owes its excellent layout in part to the region’s early settlers who were involved in a ‘model village’ project. Take a dip in the Tukituki River or head to the beaches at Porangahau, Blackhead and Pourere. Anglers enjoy good fishing in the Tukituki River. There are a few antique stores to browse. Not far from town is Hatuma Lake, a popular boating spot.

The Bridge to Nowhere, in Ramanui Landing, was originally built to access a planned settlement in Whanganui National Park, but the location proved so remote, the venture was abandoned and forest closed in on this graceful arch bridge.

THINGS TO KNOW

”Try to get to ‘The River Traders’, a Saturday morning market held alongside the Whanganui River. It’s busy, but possibly one of New Zealand’s best farmers’ markets with as many as 100 stalls – look for the macadamias and the French lavender sellers. Walk the 205m tunnel into Durie Hill’s interior and take a vintage 1919 earthbound elevator-ride 66m to the hilltop. At the top, Memorial Tower is built from fossilised shell rock dated at more than two million years old!”

But not all study in Palmerston North is classroom-bound. The Linton Military Camp and The Adidas Institute of Rugby are just two of the educational providers that put an emphasis on outdoor learning and fitness. The abundance of students helps keep Palmerston North a vibrant yet easy-going city in which to live, work and visit. Te Manawa: Museum of Art, Science and History is the cultural heart of the city and a very good place to start your exploration. The museum has its own permanent exhibitions and a fantastic collection Maori taonga (treasures) as well as frequently hosting visiting exhibitions. Upstairs you will find the New Zealand Rugby Museum – a must visit for any rugby fan, or anyone trying to understand New Zealand’s fervour for the sport. The first rugby museum in the world, some 37,000 items logged make this a much trusted resource for media and sports fans the world over. Containing a detailed history of the All Blacks, many view this as a shrine to the game and an absolute must visit. The beautifully restored Regent Theatre was originally opened in 1930 as a picture palace, and restored in the 1990s to its original glamorous state. Seating 1393 people, the Regent is now a busy beauty with the title of regional centre for the performing arts. The impressive architecture of the Palmerston North City Library creates a wonderful space to relax with a good book, and amidst the cafés on George Street, you’ll find a much-recommended bookstore as well as boutique gift shops and good eateries. The city also has many parks and scenic walks on oﬀer. The Esplanade Gardens on Fitzherbert Avenue has 19 hectares of gardens, featuring an international rose trial garden, aviaries, a nature trail, a fernery, conservatory, an education centre and a café. The Turitea campus of Massey University also worth a visit as it too has stunning gardens with many walkways.

Wanganui This charming city sits at the mouth of the Whanganui River. Founded in 1840 as a port, Wanganui has since developed into a thriving cultural centre, yet has kept a relaxed pace. Settled on the river banks of New Zealand’s longest navigable waterway, this historic city is a hub for on-the-water activities like canoe safaris, rafting and jetboat tours. You can even enjoy a cruise aboard the city’s historic paddleboat, the Waimarie. The Whanganui Regional Museum is well-known for its beautiful collection of Maori taonga (treasures).

Kaitaia has a rich history and cultural diversity which includes Maori and Dalmatian communities. It was the site of a Maori village as early as 1832 but it was during the 1880s and 1890s, when kauri gum diggers were active throughout Northland, that the settlement blossomed. The Far North Regional Museum contains some interesting relics of the kauri industry and early shipwrecks. Kaitaia is an ideal base for exploring the sand dunes, beaches and glowworms of the Far North. Native kiwi, glowworms and eels can be viewed at Sullivan’s Nocturnal Park at Fairburn.

Pohutukawa-fringed bays, big-game fishing and a colourful history epitomise the township of Russell. Today, Russell is a popular holiday and big-game fishing destination, but after a tour of Russell Museum you’ll learn this town used to be a swashbuckling mix of salty dogs, whalers and sealers. Tour the town’s heritage buildings, such as Pompallier House and Christ’s Church (the country’s oldest church still in use today) – look for musket shell holes dating from conﬂicts between local Maori and European settlers.

Summer

• Although the dormant Mount Taranaki last erupted 350 years ago, experts say the mountain’s volcanic life is not over.

Urenui

Spring

• Captain Cook initially named the 2,518-metre mountain after a British Earl of Egmont, but the Maori name Taranaki means ‘peak clear of vegetation’ — and is a much more appropriate description of the upper half of the mountain. The surrounding park retains the name Egmont National Park.

THINGS TO KNOW

FOR MORE INFO

Taranaki’s jutting geography is said to resemble a knuckle. This region sure packs a punch for its breathtaking landscape and activities to match! Taranaki’s perfectly conical snowcapped mountain, cosmopolitan big-little-city, and over 105km of surf breaks are a knock-out.

SAND CASTLE

Wellington makes the most of its harbourside location with lots of waterfront attractions, including the dynamic Te Papa - New Zealand’s national museum, the Museum of Wellington City and Sea and the scenic waterfront drive, Oriental Parade. Take a stroll along the parade or around the city, explore the many cafés and boutiques en route, or spend a few hours in Civic Square — the cultural heart of Wellington where the City Gallery engages with sensational contemporary exhibitions. Also in the Square is the Michael Fowler Centre (a world-class venue for opera and theatre), Town Hall (one of the world’s leading concert halls), the library, and Capital E (a creative technology and live performance centre for children).

See Wellington Region editorial & maps pages 166-167

The Square meets with Frank Kitts Park, a delightful multi-level public space that leads to Wellington’s spectacular waterfront area. Wrap up warm, brace the winds and embrace the atmosphere of this stretch of cityside coastline. Look for the waterfront sculptures, be they typographical tributes to literary Wellingtonians, abstract shapes, historic touchstones, or a kinetic light and water sculpture created by much-loved sculptor Len Lye. Courtenay Place is Wellington’s key dining and nightlife precinct, brimming with bars, bistros and sophisticated eating and drinking spots Here you’ll also find the St James Theatre and the Opera House, where world-class touring acts are showcased. Flick off into Cuba Street for a taste of Wellington’s vibrant café, fashion, music and arts scene. Don’t forget to stop and admire Wellington’s favourite example of street art – the Bucket Fountain (be sure to stand on the lee-side of the fountain on a windy day to avoid being splashed). For a breathtaking vista of the city, catch a ride on the historic Cable Car. If you can peel yourself away from the view, enjoy a lesiurely stroll through the lovely gardens down towards the central business district of Lambton Quay (allow a good hour).

These days, Wellington is synonymous with the New Zealand film industry, due largely to the work of one Sir Peter Jackson. From his early days creating films in his spare time to the wonderful enterprise that is WETA Workshop and WETA Digital, he is responsible not only for helming some of New Zealand’s most successful movies, but in creating a sustainable film hub in New Zealand that now provides film services to the rest of the world. Miramar is the Wellington suburb that houses much of the film industry, but there are many sites within Wellington and its surrounds that have served as locations in international blockbusters; a few tour companies will give you more detail. The summit of Mount Victoria is a popular lookout point, offering expansive views of the city and bays. Look for the Cook Strait ferries coming in from, or departing for the South Island, and watch as planes land or ascend to the skies above this beautiful city. Keep an eye out for the Jasons Wellington What’s On guide.
