facilities and a common room with TV etc
Time
Allowance
Please allow yourself sufficient
time in New Zealand to see the country.
It may
look a small country on the map, but by the nature of
the roads it takes longer than expected to travel the
distances, and there are so many pleasant distractions
along the way.
Driving between Auckland and
Wellington can take 10 to 11 hours.
Roads can be
winding and narrow in places.
If time is short,
you are best to see one area well rather than to make a
speedy tiring journey in a few days to see little.
