Nothing rough about this!!! October 5, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I recently spent some time touring around New Zealand and this guide was my constant companion(as well as my wife).For your money you get an extemely comprehensive guide to one of the most beautiful countries in the world.From the lush green farmland of the north island to the barren desolate stretches of the south island "Gods own country" has it all.
Each area is dealt with in separate chapters and each chapter begins with the "highlights" of the area,so if the highlights dont appeal keep driving! You will find the history of the more interesting places contained in this guide ,not a full on history lesson mind you but just enough to impress the wife with until she picks up the guide for herself ,then the game is well and truly up!The maps are basic but are enough to keep you on the right track.And the accommodation listings are helpful if one finds themselves pushed for time and needing some shut eye.Included aswell are a brief selection of bars,clubs and restaurants,you probably wont go out of your way to seek them out but the average prices are included so its handy for comparative purposes.With New Zealand being the adventure capitol of the world this book is jam packed with madcap things to try ,if you can think it up the kiwis have it,as always prices are recorded in the guide.To sum up this is a great guide to a great country.The highlights on the north island for me were :The Lion man in Whangarei and Rotorua for the Maori experience and on the south island:The beauty of the Southern Alps the Glaciers and Wanaka also the fun filled Queenstown for adrenaline junkies. I could go on but i wont ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
