Great Missenden |
Our route is something like this:
Fly into Auckland
2 days there then pick up the RV
Down to Rotorua, Hobbiton and Waitomo
New Plymouth for a few days with friends then on to the south island.
Nelson and Abel Tasman
Down to Franz Josef glacier for a helicopter ride.
On to Queenstown and Milford sound
Then back up to Lake Tekapo to gaze at some stars then across to Wellington
3 weeks and a few days but feels like we should have booked more time! |

Just under 3 weeks is a to get itinerary. Allow more time to cover distances here - the roads are nothing like the UK, especially in the South Island.
For example Queenstown to Milford Sound is a 5hr journey.
Beautiful country. I loved it so much I never left. |

I completely agree.  |

I have to agree, 3 weeks is a bit short of time to do both Islands. As said above there's no motorways on the South Island (Mainland)
I've done it in a car and on a motorbike. Each time I've spent days just driving trying to make up time in the schedule.
I've known people who hired an RV then wished they'd got a car and stayed in hotels instead.
I'm sure you'll have a great time but maybe use a tour bus for things like the Queenstown to Milford leg. |

Did you have much success via Tinder?
Will give it a try but always nicer via Fab as we all know that we are swingers - nothing to lose though and room on the back of the bike for any adventurous lady who fancies an exciting journey!  |

Yep, enough success to keep me happy. I was dead upfront on my profile, I'd say I was travelling through X or Y area, then I'd mainly suggest meeting for a coffee. Took it from there. Might be different for you, but it worked for me. |

The first time I visited was only for 2 weeks, but I fell in love with NZ. Came back for a much longer trip then made the move permanently.
Have a great time  |

Invercargill is great. Motorcycle Mecca, Truck Museum and the Hayes Hardware store for the Burt Munro enthusiasts.
Dunedin has lots to offer too. Albatrosses, penguins, nice beaches and great cafes.
