I was in Auckland for 2 nites. Not enough. So many things to do. I think 4 nites will be decent enough.

I stayed in Queenstown for 3 nites also not enough. So many things to see so many things to do.

Hahahahah!! sorry. The hostel that I stayed, cost NZ76 per nite for twn sharing but share toilet/bathroom.

Yeah, about that. I saw BASE Auckland which is located right in the CBD but cost around NZ90 per nite. Food?? Not sure, I cook most of the time. Eating outside too expensive ler! Luckily most hostels I stayed, provide free breakfast such as bread, jam,butter,coffee & tea. We had fish n chip around NZ10-NZ12 depending on location.

No problem. Hope you will enjoy your trip.

No problem. As long as you have the will to save more money for your holiday. Holiday is a must for me. If not I can go crazy

I have a last minute plan to visit Japan in October. Plan to go to Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto & Osaka. So many things to do. I have not even book my ticket yet. huhuhuhu!!

Sure, I will definitely share but must settle my air ticket first. hehehehe!! I haven't book ticket or hotel yet. Still finalizing my programme. Hopefully I have enough money by then. This is last minute trip

Ichecked the hostel I like, cost around RM220 per nite

Ia!! I don't like that kind of stuff because I am a private person. I don't like sharing place/room with strangers. I make friends on my own pace.

To wellington?? I thought they fly to Christchurch from Changi?? I dunno because I took MAS to Auckland. Stay 2 nites in Rotorua then flew from Rotorua to CHC. I make my round in South Island ended in Queenstown. From Queenstown flew to Auckland. Stay 2 nites in Auckland then flew back to KL.

Jetstar is almost similar to AA. Selalu delay & all kind of problem. I avoid this airline if I were you. I got cheated by Jetstar. When I try to book domestic tkt for NZ trip, their website got problem. Error and all. By right, they are not supposed to charge me. They still charge my card (at that time, I already keyed in my cc details) but toward the end of the booking system, their website was down. I called Jetstar customer service & email them immediately. I thought they will refund me the money but they said the transaction was done so they can't refund me.

I post it on their FB for consumer to beware of this airline.

I only stay in Auckland for 2 nites. We took the hop on hop off bus. I think the cost is around NZD46 per pax. The bus always on time & driver was friendly too.

We went to Sky Tower, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland Museum (watch the Maori performance & took pics with the Maori), Mount Eden. Mt Eden is the highest peak in Auckland. You can see almost the whole Auckland from the top.

Auckland is dirtier if compare to other city/town in NZ. I see more Asian in Auckland. Everywhere you go you can see the Chinese, Indian & Korean. Malaysia too

NZ also more expensive compare to Australia. I went to Australia several years ago. Even the Australian tourists agree NZ is more expensive.

If other airlines offer RM1500 to NZ,MAS offer RM2700, difference only RM1200. Work more and save more lor!!

Ibought my ticket to NZ with MAS during promo. They charge RM250 per ticket to change date but the price when I bought & the time I change the date is not much different. So bear in mind, you have to pay the fare difference + changing fee. Changing fee is vary depending on destination. Sometimes RM100, sometimes RM200 or more. Chk with MAS for more info.

I am going again to New Zealand this October for 17 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Iam soooo excited!!!!!

I will concentrate on North Island mostly because last year we spent our time in South Island. Only stay in North Island for 5 days. This time 5 days in South Island and North island for the remaining stay
