New Zealand North Island, in the winter, with family

[PugwasHDJ80]

Hi All,

going out to NZ for 3 weeks in July- to see two tests but also to see the country.

Never been before and we are taking our 4 year old and 4 month old!!

We are hiring a very nice camper van for 12 days and staying in hotels for the rest.

Any top tips of things to do, ways to make travel better, or our lives easier?

first time on a plane with a baby!

Any hints, ideas, tips and help very much appreciated.

Thanks All

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the thoughts

We are financially committed to the motorhome thing now- we are hiring a 4 birth European model with double glazing and electric/gas heating and we do a lot of camping in tents with the kids, so hopefully the motorhome thing will be ok!!! Bit late now...............ummmm

We preferred the idea of a motorhome as with a little one I "think" it'll be easier- moving motels every day just sounds like a complete mare! having a fridge with food for the kids and no real hassles on where we can stop wil be stress free we hope....
