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.

Stayed at Hotel Grand Chancellor Christchurch - Christchurch, New Zealand.
|
Christchurch is fantastic! They are extremely tourist-oriented. Lots of credit go to the Information centre. We can book almost anything, everything under the sun/moon! It is just so convenient for free and easy tour.
The weather is cool and I like it a lot. Except the weather wasn't suitable for us to take the hot-air balloon. Imagine our flight was cancelled three times!! How disappointed we were but at the same time we were glad the operator put SAFETY as the very first priority to us! Thanks for that!

Stayed at Hotel Grand Chancellor Christchurch - Christchurch, New Zealand.
|
Spend maybe a day or two in Christchurch, then head over to Queenstown. It's a short 45-minute flight. Queenstown is more beautiful with many more things to do, especially for the adventurous.

I never have time to anything much in Auckland except work and business dinners. I can highly recommend Meccano Restaurant. I would suggest travellers are aware of the difference in the street cabs and the corporate cabs and always use the cab company suggested by the hotel.

Stayed at Carlton Hotel Auckland - Auckland, New Zealand.

I think that the following is a point worth making: This was my first time to visit New Zealand (I live in Florida, USA). I absolutely was not looking for a big city environment, and had no idea that was what I would get when I went to Auckland (I had limited time planning for this trip). I took a couple of the ferries leading to some of the nearby islands for the purposes of hiking/getting away from the city. I got around by walking (everything that I was interested in doing was located nearby). The one restaurant that I would recommend is the one located on top of the tower (this is a rotating restaurant that gives excellent views of the city). Anyhow, I wound up leaving Auckland on the 10th or the 11th, to go to other places further south on the North Island.
I really wish that the other accommodations that I had were as impressive as the Carlton.
