Where does my money go?

excellent dynamic little city! So good for partying. Chillng out and the great outdoor escapes are never far away. Plenty of exciting outdoor activities!!

  • Insider tip:Come with a big budget there because all the activities and shopping are really high priced. Anyway, for sure you will have fun there!!!

Best town with youth and good scenery

This is the best town of NZ. Youthful and good scenery in all angles. Felt so relaxed and everyday is full of fun here. The people are friendly and helpful.

  • Insider tip:Need not rent vehicle here. Most of the activities will pick you up from their shops or from your accomodation. Easy to explore the town on foot as well.

Queenstown - great if you have money...

I enjoyed queenstown, but upset that there really wasn't anything that you could do for free/cheap. The range of activities available is great, but just a pity it all costs so much.

  • Insider tip:Don't stay at base backpackers - you won't get any sleep as the music so loud!
