We walked round Christchurch for the most part, taking the bus to go to the gondola. Enjoyed visiting the Cathedral for "evensong" one night. Had an excellent buffet dinner at "The Cabbage Tree".

Stayed at Duxton Wellington - Wellington, New Zealand.
|
If you like Irish pubs, don't miss Molly Malones/The Dubliner. The staff is very friendly and the food is outstanding, especially on those cold Wellington days. Te Papa couldn't be any closer, and it's well worth the visit. Wellington is a beautiful harbor-city and worth a visit, but if you're on your way to South Island, don't spend too much time here.

Stayed at Norfolk Pine Motor Inn Motel - Kaikoura, New Zealand.
|
Kaikoura is a developing town and facilities for visitors are growing. It is a very small town but there are enough restaurants to satisfy every taste. The pub opening times are unpredictable in NZ they tend to determine whether to open or not by how many people are in the bar, recommend if you like a drink to purchase some from the supermarket just in case the pubs are shut when you get thirsty. The best way to get around is by car. You must go and see the whales by boat cost was $110 in Nov2003. It can get rough at sea. Erco`s is a real nice pub with its nick name, has a seafaring look as decor from the outside but is on the seafront road. Good food there, and a live band sometimes who are quite good, not too loud.

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Auckland - Auckland, New Zealand.
|
Seemingly addicted to the Americas Cup, the new harbour is the centre of nightlife.
Auckland has a wide range of designer shops.
Internet cafes are easy to find and are cheap.
Visit Rotorua, you can do it in a day, but stay overnight and take advantage of the natural spring and mud baths.

Auckland is a beautiful big city, but it tends to shut down pretty early in the evening (in the CBD anyway).

Stayed at Rydges Rotorua - Rotorua, New Zealand.
|
We were en route to Auckland - as we did not know that the hotel had its own 'hangi' evening, we had already booked elsewhere. This info with the booking details would have been useful. Loved the area - great atmosphere - recommend the Spa baths with thermal springs ..

Didn't spend much time but the city was very attractive. The streets were well laid out and it was easy to get around.
Obviously well serviced with diverse restaurants and night-life.
