Christchurch self catering cottage, New Zealand, independent reviews
 Reviewed 12 Mar 2008 by Natalie Kirschstein |  |
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
finding little deserted spots - less-visited beaches; an out-of-the-way river. And all the outdoors activities New Zealand offers.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
I can't really think of any 'warning' type tips - everything was made very easy and pleasant for us by the hosts, who were efficient and helpful and offered lots of good suggestions for activities. So I guess I'd suggest asking local people
for the best things to do.
Oh, and use the i-sites - tourist info sites in all cities and towns in New Zealand - they are very good and not overly tacky like many similar sites I've seen in other countries.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes, for the most part. The places we stayed were very environmentally-conscious. That seems to be the case in general in New Zealand, which was a pleasant surprise.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
fantastic
