PLACES TO STAY IN NEW ZEALAND
Where To Stay in New Zealand!
Throughout New Zealand you will find a wide choice of holiday parks. While you are likely to stay in a campgrounds for the majority of your holiday, we find that many people like to stay in a hotel close to where they pick up their motorhome from on the first night they arrive in New Zealand. This particularly makes sense after a long flight so you are refreshed and not driving while you are tired or jet-lagged.

Kiwi's are committed to keeping New Zealand's pristine environment as clean and green as possible for you, our communities and for the many generations to come.
With this in mind, it is important when travelling in a fully self contained campervan or motorhome that you dispose of the toilet and waste water in designated dump stations, it is equally important that when travelling in a non-self-contained campervan that you stay in camping areas that provide toilet facilites.
