Which part of NZ do u want to visit? Kalau nk pegi time summer make sure u dh buat semua booking awal2 sbb nnt susah u nk dptkan accomodation, transportation...flight ticket kalu book last minute time summer, mmg expensive.. i suggest u kalu nk pegi time summer mmg best... kalu u nk dtg time spring u pegi christchurch... lawa especially kat hagley park ngan avon river yg jernih tu... u boleh punting kat situ... christchurch is more like an english town/ cityKalau fall best pegi area arrowtown, really nice... warna keemasan... kalu summer aku rasa semua tempat ok... tp kalau ko suka adventure byk benda yg ko bole buat kat queenstown... aku dh buat bungy jumping kat kawarau bridge kat queenstown... NZ$180 (dpt t-shirt, gambar dan video tape ko terjun)... dia ada byk package.... aku lg suka south island ... tp north pun ok gak... maori byk area north island...
Kalau suka nature, why don u drive to arthurs pass.... during winter the scenery is superb... sepanjang aku drive rasa mcm dok kat wonderland....
Kt Christchurch senang nk makan halal... KFC yg dekat church corner tu every weekend (sunday kalu tak silap) serve ayam halal), situ ada masjid (kat depan hagley park (tp aku dh lupa west ke east of hagley park).... tp don wori kat sana byk info counter utk tourist.... every sunday ada sunday market yg jual barang cam car boot sale...
Aku dulu pernah dok christchurch... so aku igt byk la pasal chc... tempat lain kat NZ bole la tolong jawab... itupun kalu aku still igt la thnks ssbrosi n alang.. actually plan nak pi cuti sekolah end of year which means in NZ summer laa kan?? like OZ kan? no of pax 6 adults 2 children.. senang ke dpt sewa apt? or wld it be cheaper to go on pacakge? since ada kids...kena pi tmpt2 yg they can enjoy... quite open to any suggestions.. any since ada parents.. nak jln2 kaki jauh2 agak susah sikit.. adventure.. if possible where semua bule enjoy..
if winter? mcm mana weather? sejuk sgt ke?

Why not renting a motel... kat sana motel rupa dlm dia cam apartment (tp selalunya 2 tingkat), ada motel yg studio, ada yg 2 bilk dan ada 3 bilik. yg best nya motel u bole masak, dia sediakan dapur, microwave, all types of kitchen utensils, periuk dan pan etc. Usually kalu area yg commercial sikit, rent utk motel (utk yg satu bilik) =$60-70. Kalu dua bilik $80-90. Tp ok sbb kekadang kat ruang tamu ada sofa bed yg u bole bukak utk tido... tp i tak pasti rate skrg...itu rate waktu i kat sana dulu... u cn serve the internet.. base on my observation, all info pasal NZ (utk tourist) mmg bagus dan sentiasa updated....Bg i kalau u ramai baik jgn ikut tour, usually mahal ... kalau tempat u nak enjoy the whole family i suggest queenstown.... tempat ni mmg best... sesuai utk semua, drpd budak smpai org tua... i suggest u drive, u bole sewa caravan... kat sana diorang byk sediakan maps kt information counter, tak susah dan byk brochure ttg tempat menarik disana and how to get to the place, ... at least you bole berhenti mana2 tempat yg u suka kalau u drive.... don wori, NZ is a safe country...
winter is pretty cold... kalau nk enjoy baik time summer la... masa siang pun panjang... kalau winter boring pukul 3 ptg dh maghrib, pukul 8 pg still subuh... kalau time winter takut ada jln tutup alang...hang nie bule jadi tourist guide la... thanks so much for the info.. nanti if semua dah decide...n have tonnes of questions... will cari u... nak tumpang tanya kat thread ni boleh..
aku tgh desperate carik tiket murah nak ke auckland for mid feb next month, ada sesapa tau any travel agent yg murah? kalau ada online site lagi bagus, next month still kita peak time lagi ka?
kalau leh dapat yg murah nak beli yg one yr return, kalau tak, nak ambik yg single ticket saja ni kena tanya puterikhaleeda ni..dia lama bebeno kat sana..dia slalu kat tret Hong Kong Salam.... kami 2 adults 4 children (dari 2 - 12 yrs old) gie NZ inDec 2006.Sewa van with driver cum tour guide. Memang mahallah but berbaloi. Kids loved the train ride Transcenic dari Christchurch to Greymouth. Scenery memukau. Journey continued to Franz Josef, tempat cantik sangat & reminded me of Switzerland (been there ages ago) . Kalau adventurous boleh gie the glacier walk, we all tengok dari jauh aje. Not advisable for family with toddlers. Gie Puzzling World in Wanaka (google it),interesting, puzzling & amusing. Kalau ikut hati boleh spend the whole day kat situ. Budak2 & org tua will love it. Overnite kat Wanaka, tempat ni pulak macam Lake District, UK. Queenstown, Arrowtown with all the activities like paragliding, bungy jumping, steamboat cruise & macam2 ada. Ni semua kat South Island. Eventhough summer, cuaca masih sejuk. Walaupun tak dapat main snow, dapat tengok the snow-capped mountains, the kids dah cukup happy.Simply captivating.
North Island we covered Rotorua yg ada boiling mud pool, geyser & Maori village. Lastly Auckland. We all prefer South Island, sebab scenery yg memang cantik, very refreshing.
Travelling with tour guide ni untungnya we learned a lot about the place. Throughout the journey, he named us every lakes ,mountains we passed, rivers & bridges we crossed, history of towns & places. Kenapa buildings kat Arrowtown for eg macam zaman dulu2 architecture dia.Eventhough NZ ada vineyard, they don't grow table grapes, their grapes semua utk buat wine aje. Macam2 lagilah info we all dapat fr that short stay. So selain menjamu mata, dapat juga sikit ilmu. Kalau on our own we can enjoy the scenery, tapi we might miss little things like these.
Kalau ada rezeki we all nak gi lagi mungkin in winter pulak. kitaorg satu family pun bercadang nak pergi gak kot..tapi dlm byk2 area kat new zealand tu, which area yg best gi time winter..ade kwn ckp kat aukland,nothing much nak visit atau buat...so kalau sape2 tau atau ade idea area mana yg byk bende bole lawat....tq..

milli, brapa lama ur tour? where did u start? coz i check MAS fly gi auckland jer. and when u say mahal tu, brapa estimate figure tu? hehe senang nak budget.. and if travel with driver, mcm mana nak stay over nite? kiter bayar for dia nyer accomodation ke? thanks... Reply to Flames.Kami travel for 9 days.Memang kena changed to dometic flight to Christchurch kat Auckland.Driver's accomodation for 3 nights kami kena bayar , but I guess ni ikut your own travelling plan.Disebabkan all arrangements were like last minute, all in it cost us RM56k.

RM56k? adusssss.. untungnyaaa ada kemampuan...share la gambo milli

oucchh.. almost 10k each... sakit jugak tu... i guess since its summer bertambah laa kemahalan nyer... thanks.. if ada info lagi...sharing2 laa yerReply #13 milli's post
U ikut tour ke? sbb setahu alang tour ke NZ selalu 9 days... RM56K is expensive...takpe kalu ada kemampuan takde masalah... bg alang naik SIA is cheaper, dan dia direct from SIN to CHC, tp MAS direct from KUL to AUK (dengar kata dia ada transit brisbane ye skrg)... so ikut pilihan masing2 mana nk turun... so kalu nk pegi south island (disembark kt christchurch), naik la SIA atau Air New Zealand... tp berdasarkan experience alang, baik naik SIA drpd Air NZ... better service.... kalau u all naik MAS, u kena naik domestic flight ke CHC from AUK.Tp kalu hya nk pg north island... naik la MAS sbb dia turun kt Auckland...
Milli's... citer u teringat waktu zaman i dok kat sana dulu... semua tempat tu alang miss sgt... bila la nk pegi balik...:love:

Actually kalau u plan ur vacation properly, it isn't that expensive... don wori... Memang betul cakap Alang,if it was planned properly & way in advance it wouldn't have been that expensive. Arrangements were made macam 10 days before departure, kena pulak peak season, itu sebablah.Pasal nak share gambar tu, saya ni newbie kat sini. Ilmu nak tempek gambar tu belum belajar. Anyway, photos taken with my camera murahan won't do justice to the beauty of NZ. By the way, kalau u all kesana make sure u bawa bekal bateri secukupnya dari sini. The lithium battery RM16 kat M'sia, kat sana NZ$25. The things u have to pay for last minute work.... Hehe i yg bukan newbie pun tak reti nk tempek gambar... tp gambar alang semua bukan digital, kamera biasa, kalu nk tempek kena scan dulu... time tu tak beli lg kamera digital . Tp kalau u cuci gambar kat sana, mmg very clear, sama cam gambar amik digital camera, walaupun u hya pakai kodak jer....heran tul sbb gambar kat mesia tak seclear gambar kat sana, i guna filem yg sama, tp bila reprint kat mesia, gambar jd tak cun...
One thing u should try, buah golden kiwi... buah ni tak sampai mesia tau... dia buah kiwi tp isi dia kekuningan... bau dan rasa dia mmg best... usualy dia byk time summer, harga pun mahal sikit, kalu tak silap $0.30 sebijik, kalu kiwi biasa tu harga baru $1.00 sebag. cuba juga buah2 kering kat sana, sedap gak....

The best is to go on your own and hire a caravan.You boleh book ticket dan caravan from your travel agent so bila sampai di airport terus ambil caravan.Sebelum pergi do your homework tentang temp ...
nak tanya sikit
caravan ni berapa gak nya rate dia? in yg mcm dah ada katil & kitchenete tu ke?
