If you like burgers, Gourmet Burger Kitchen will be the best place in the world to get a perfect one. GBK (..that's what we call it) have a fantastic range of all sorts of burgers you even can imagine.
You'll find one GBK restaurant on Putney Bridge Road but there are more of them all over Londo…

Very expensive but you get a free t-shirt. A 134 meter jump in a canyon, absolutely amazing. 8 second free fall, 100% safe, nothing else you need to know.
For $220 NZD they'll bus you out to the place, suit you up, and let you jump. One of my friends did a second jump when he was there for only $…

At first all my friends did it and they said it was cool, but I thought it was still just an expensive touristy thing. Well, it was, but completely worth it. I think I went with the black water rafting company, and did the biggest trip they offer, forget what its called. We went to the entrance, abs…

Hi all nature lovers or hikers,
One of the most beautifull things i have seen on one of my trips is Abel Tasman NP.
This is New Zealand's smallest national park, protecting 23,000 hectares of the most natural stretch of easily accessible coastline in New Zealand.
I (we) went from our hoste…

This is a nice 1 or 2 day hike in the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand. It takes about 2-3 hours to get to the hut and then another 30 minutes or so to get to the top of the Pinnacles. Overall the starting point to finish point could take around 5-6 hours but it is nice to break up the hike with …

Very very good food and fantastic service. Never had such wonderful service before - straight in the door and we were asked if they could take our coats, and then poured us all water (which continued through the night). A small (mains) but nice menu, mains ranged from $30-38NZD which is on the expen…

The New Zealand North Island has many attractions. Cooks Beach to the North (just make sure you go during the summer if you want to swim-summer is more like January and February). Rotorua for the stream that comes from the earth and the Maori culture. Go to a Maori show. Auckland is a pleasant cosmo…

NZ's a costly place to travel. Expensive bus networks mean that buying or renting a vehicle is most people's only way to get around. Rental + Insurance + Petrol on top of all the normal fun stuff makes a week in NZ cost the same as a month in SE asia... However there are ways to get around on the ch…

The World Bar in Queenstown New Zealand serves cocktails in Teapots!
They have a wide range of cocktails were you can choose from, very popular cocktails, and very nice not so well known cocktails. Our group tried all the cocktails on the menu, and we loved them!
Besides cocktails they have …

I just wanted to let anyone know that may be interested in the COntiki Tours that they may not be all your looking forward to, or they could be exactly what you want!
I did a 10 day tour of seven countries I think in europe last summer. I knew it would be pretty intense but it was not at all what …

After you've just been out to watch the whales and spot some dolphins in the sea off Kaikoura all you need is some nice warm fish and chips.
We popped in to this little place and bought 17 people's worth of food (bet they loved us)and then sat happily on the seafront.
When it's cold by the sea som…

While the South Island tends to be more popular with people, don't discredit the North. The North Island has its fair share of gems. You just have to know where to look.
The North Island houses the countries largest city: Auckland. And no that's not the capital of New Zealand. You'll have to head…

Why pay lots of money seeing glow worms at Waitomo Caves, when you can see them all for free at Waipu Caves in Northland, New Zealand.
The Waipu Caves are located 13 km inland from Waipu, a little village 2 hours north from Auckland (on the way to the Bay of Islands).
You have to travel over a gra…

Fancy a hot swim in the middle of the forest? Kerosene Creek, just South of Rotorua is a local favourite. It gets the name because the water is a little kerosene-ish in smell, but it is lovely and warm. The main pool is just below a small waterfall, and during the day few if any others will be here,…
