what is the best time to visit NZ

Interest forums / Kids To Go

Dear all,

what is the best time to visit NZ for lots of fruits, lots of flowers and lots of greenery?

My wife and I, my mother(72 yrs old) and my son(4 yrs old) would like to visit NZ and would like to get some feedback from all regarding the best timing to visit.

thank you!

For fruits- NZ summer/autumn so Dec-April would be best.
For flowers- spring- so sept-november
Greenery- all year around especially in the Sth Island.
If you dont like cold and are not interested in skiing etc I'd recommend spring/summer.
Late Jan early Feb is usually the hottest time if you want to avoid that.

Thank you Max5. Just got back from travelling on a business trip. I will work on this timing you gave. Thanks again.
