Nope, that's not true.
Went to Mount Cook in the middle of winter(July), visibility was OK.
Been to Milford once in summer and another time in winter. Weather in Milford is know to be wet and cloudy most of the time. It was just that when I went the lst time in summer. Surprisingly, weather was much better when I went in winter, sunny, clear and blue skies.
There are budget airline like Air Asia. Try this one:

That's fair enough.
Is your sister studying or working there?
When in Auckland take a ferry across the harbour to Devonport, nice charming suburb. Had the best fish and chips there. The Underwater World is also worth a visit. The transparent underwater tunnel in Singapore Sentosa was also built by the Kiwis apparently.
BTW, exchange rate to NZD is very attractive at the moment.
[/QUOTE]Kaikora whale watch is another great thing to do [QUOTE]
Yeah, the whale-watching in Kaikoura..but that's a bit out of the way, you'll need a separate trip for that.
