Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in New Zealand

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay?

You could explore Auckland's vibrant city life and volcanic cones, then fly to Queenstown for stunning scenery and adventure activities like bungy jumping or a scenic Milford Sound cruise. Consider a quick trip to the Waitomo Caves to see the glowworms. It's a jam-packed itinerary, but you'll see a lot!

    A month gives you time for a more in-depth experience. Start in the North Island, visiting Rotorua's geothermal wonders (Te Puia is a must-see), Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata, and exploring the Bay of Islands. Then, fly south to explore the South Island: Queenstown, Fiordland National Park (Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound), Wanaka, and the West Coast's glaciers (Franz Josef and Fox). Consider driving the scenic routes like the Great Alpine Highway.

  • Is the country safe for solo travellers, including women?
