We have a 7 day stay at our disposal anywhere in NZ, both islands...suggestions on best locale to post up for a week? (Cannot spit time between different properties.)
This will be part of a roughly 14 day stay in the country, leaning towards South Island only.
1st thought was Queenstown, as I did not make it there on my first visit to NZ...good choice? We are definitely open to a few touristy things, like falling off bridges, jetboats, or ?, but do not want to spend an entire week zorbing...QTown offer enough diversity to justify a full week? Any other regions preferable?
Our initial checklist...
Milford- think I would kick myself if I went home after 2nd trip to NZ and still had not been there
walk in, flight, cruise, kayak...your thoughts?
Doubtful? unique enough to do if Milford on agenda?
Routeburn -better to include this walk and visit Milford without the walk (air, cruise, couch instead...)
Glaciers - worth it, right? best way to experience?
Work our way up west coast and take Trans-Alpine back to ChCh
Couple days around ChCh...been there 1x before, but not surrounding area...suggestions?
anything else down south that I would be remiss to skip?
Drive from ChCh to QTown or fly?
March or October?
