Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in New Zealand

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in New Zealand?

    A week in New Zealand is a fantastic start! To see a good cross-section, consider focusing on either the North or South Island. On the North Island, you could explore Auckland's vibrant city life and volcanic landscape, visit Rotorua's geothermal wonders like Te Puia, and experience Hobbiton Movie Set in Matamata. The South Island offers stunning scenery; perhaps a trip to Queenstown, famous for adventure activities, followed by exploring Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound's breathtaking fjords. This itinerary requires internal flights or a long drive.

Take an inter-island ferry to the South Island, exploring the West Coast's glaciers and Hokitika Gorge. Spend time in Queenstown, Wanaka, and perhaps even venture to the more remote Stewart Island for incredible wildlife viewing.

  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in New Zealand?

    If you lose your passport, contact your nearest police station to report the loss and obtain a police report.

Keep copies of your passport and other important documents separately from the originals.
