New Zealand now has a small peice of my heart!
Review of General: New Zealand by
LIZKEMPO
Advantages: Amazing country!1
Disadvantages: Weather unpredictable
New Zealand is such an amazing country I have truly fallen in love with it! After 6 weeks of traveling the North and the South Island I fill very happy that I covered most of what this country has to offer. I am going to give a brief over view of New Zealand as I am planning some more in depth reviews about each place. I hope this will give you an idea of how long you need in each place, the highlights and the best advice for getting around etc

New Zealand welcome, Kia-ora
Review of General: New Zealand by
Writing321
Advantages: Kiwi welcomes you to Aoteoroa - Land of the Long White Cloud
Disadvantages: Long way from anywhere, don't let this put you off
Kia-ora. Welcome to my place......
Fished up by Maui, a Maori God, in never-never-land tales, New Zealand is a true paradise, in the South Pacific. The myth tells that he stepped all over bush-clad land; leaving crystal-clear lakes in his footsteps, glistening in cool-green native bush, amid massive, rugged mountains, some so virginal they stand today, unconquered by man.
In the millions of years that this beautiful country has evolved it ...

Breathtaking New Zealand!!!!
Review of General: New Zealand by
DeniseKelly40
Advantages: Great Scenery, lots to do
Disadvantages: long bus rides to see the whole area
New Zealand is the youngest country on earth, it was the last major landmass to be discovered. Its history has both Maori and European heritage. There are still amazing Maori historic sites to be found some dating back almost a thousand years.
When I visited New Zealand in July I decided to take an organised tour as I had limited time. I travelled with a group of other like minded travellers and we were transported around on a bus with two tour ...

New Zealand - a great experience!
Review of General: New Zealand by
Allyalcock
Advantages: Beautiful scenery, friendly people, fantastic!
Disadvantages: Long way away from anywhere, weather (sometimes!!)
My first impressions of New Zealand were what a beautiful country it is! With a population of around 4 million in total, it is very untouched and natural, and even though Europeans moved in they still keep a lot of the Maori names and I got the feeling they respect their predecessors, a lot more so than Australia with the Aboriginal people. It is actually located across 2 of the earth's tectonic plates so earthquakes are frequent (although severe ...

The wonders of the Kiwi country...
Review of General: New Zealand by
groovybaby3002
Advantages: Friendly People, Cheap while there, Too much to see
Disadvantages: Long way away, Expensive flights
Well, where do I start? I guess I should start by introducing it. My family and I decided that a holiday was called for, so we got out the atlas, and looked for a place that would suit the best of all worlds- english speaking, warm climate, family friendly. So, we decided on New Zealand. We started looking around for the best deals. Eventually, we decided that (due to our lack of knowledge about NZ), we should leave it to an operator to book it for ...

nickyturnill
Advantages: It is the perfect outdoor destination.
Disadvantages: It sure is one long way!
NewZealand. Location: Oceania, islands in the South Pacific Ocean, southeast of Australia Capital: Wellington
Population: About 4 million
NZ is an absolutely stunning destination that I cannot speak about highly enough, clean airs clear skies, backdrops of mountains, empty coastlines, amazing views... it is the perfect outdoor destination.

Thinking of travelling around New Zealand
Review of General: New Zealand by
intel
Advantages: Beautiful, Cheap, Friendly,
Disadvantages: Long flight but thats all!
Thinking of travelling around New Zealand? I spent 5 months touring around so hope I can offer some tips:-
Travelling alone? Well if you want to meet people the best way to travel is to use one of the two popular coach tours around the island(s). Choose from either 'The kiwi experience' or 'kontiki' coach tours. Both are very similar but their routes and trip length vary.
Advantages of this: No need to plan things as the routes and accommodation ...

THE IMPACT OF TOURISM ON NEW ZEALAND
Review of General: New Zealand by
Oktoberfest
Advantages: Beautiful nature
Disadvantages: Too many people
1. Introduction
My interest in New Zealand started, when I saw a film about the country´s important wine branch a few years ago. I was fascinated by New Zealand´s natural beauty and its broad landscapes. Although the film was basically about wine and there were consequently only a couple of scenes showing New Zealand´s beauty, the whole countryside amazed me. Therefore I decided to do my „Facharbeit" on New Zealand.
Because I have not yet been ...

New Zealand - Godzone
Review of General: New Zealand by
peppermint
Advantages: breathtaking variety of scenery, friendly people and a wonderful feeling of space
Disadvantages: distance and long flight times, need at least a month
New Zealand is well known by Kiwis as Godzone - or God's Own little country, and I can well imagine this to be true. Often overshadowed by neighbouring Australia, there is little doubt that New Zealand possesses quite simply the most breathtaking variety of scenery and some of the most genuinely friendly people you are likely to meet on holiday. In fact, I think of it as how Britain ought to be, but never will be.
The country is not too dissimilar ...

Disadvantages: Rain. Obsession with rugby.
I don't know who General New Zealand is... was he in the gulf war?
In lieu of a proper opinion - here's an e-mail report I wroted in January (cultural references you may need to be aware of: the England cricket team won the last test match of the Ashes tour in Australia, at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The Louis Vuitton cup, to see who would qualify to race against New Zealand for the Americas cup, was taking place between Switzerland and the USA ...

Advantages: Plesent, friendly, peacefull
Disadvantages: To far away
NZ the Move
You may have read a report in this section about my trip to New Zealand in March this year, I recall giving it a glowing reference, my opinion and memories of the place are still strong and positive, due to the experience I had, myself and family have chosen to take another trip, but this time for a year.
For people considering a similar move it is not as straight forward as you might think.
It all began in the summer, myself ...
