Book Review: Decent Info but Don't Rely on the Prices
Summary: 3 Stars
I've found this guide to be decent. It has tidbits of information, but I find myself wanting to know more about places outside the cities that just aren't covered. I know a new one is coming out in a few months, so I would wait to get that one or get a different brand guidebook if you can't wait. The prices in the the 2006 book are WAY off. I use my BBH hostel guide almost exclusively for finding accommodation. I also found a lot of the restaurants and nightlife listed in the book to be inaccurate or no longer operating. Still using it, but definitely supplementing with internet, BBH accommodation guide, and visits to iSites.
Summary of New Zealand (Country Guide)
The sun shows up here first for a reason. Come for bracing light or caverns underground, glacial valleys or black volcanic sand. Tour every landscape on earth, all rolled into one country. Dig for pipis on the beach, or sample oysters on a platter. Savour solitude with a view, or city culture. Things are never just black and white in New Zealand.Stick Out Your Tongue - taste the freshest seafood, world-class wines, or the best lamb roast there is.
Roll Your Eyes - yet another magnificent view of mystical mountains, braided river plains or calming coastlines.
Slap Your Thighs - a good time's easy to find, from happening Auckland to waterfront Wellington.
Stand Up Proud - and experience Maori culture firsthand: take part in a powhiri, or fill your puku at a hangi.
Run At It Shouting - bungy jump, sea kayak, surf, trek and hit the white water with the best of them.
