agyy 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 New Zealand is a perfect place for honeymoon. U'll sure fall in love with this place, but make sure go there when nice weather, don't go during summer. New Zealand is the No.1 place that my hubby and I plan to revisit next time. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agyy 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Agyy... which part of NZ that is perfect for honeymoon? Last time we went to south and north of New Zealand. South including christchurch, queenstown, milford sound and a lot of lakes, one of the very nice lake is tekapo. Those lakes were real amazing, u would stop breathing when u see how amazing the scenery is. Don't know how to describe, but it is very worthy to go New Zealand. North including rotorua, auckland....the rest dont remember liao and we also went to Lord of The Ring place - mildford sound and hobbiton. Below are some New Zealand photo that taken when we went there. But oh, sorry ah, pai se, the photo color is not as nice as the real scenary because last time just bought digital camera, didn't know how to set the brightness and mode, just play play took some scenery photo with it only. We took lots of really nice photo using normal camera, so cannot share with u all here. The real scenary is far nicer than this photo (U'll know when u get there :P ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agyy 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Agyy... thanks for sharing... my bf and I not sure where to go yet for our future honeymoon hahaha... Australia? NZ? Japan? Europe? Actually among all countries that we visited, I personally vote 1st choice - New Zealand 2nd choice - Europe. 3rd choice - Japan, 4th choice - Australia. All places are best in spring and autumn, but don't visit during summer. Speaking frankly, how enjoy u are in that country, besides its own attractive, the weather also very important, I'll never enjoy myself 100% if I visit during summer or near to summer, like last time we visited Italy, not 100% enjoy lor because of the weather lor.

fluene 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Seeing all the recommendations and pics here make me want to go New Zealand. Is it better to join a tour or to self drive? Any idea how much it will cost for self drive + accommodations + food + tourists spot entrance fee for say, a week? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea how much it will cost for self drive + accommodations + food + tourists spot entrance fee for say, a week? My personal opinion, New Zealand is the most suitable for self drive country. Because their road sign is very very clear and informative. There got lots of rest area specially for self drive cars (those that can sleep and eat inside the car) to rest. And also there got lots of Information Centres, so u can just stop and ask, they are all very friendly. I heard my friend's daughters went there with friends (self drive), they spent around RM2k++ per person for more than 2 weeks, quite cheap if compared with the tour package.

fluene 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 My hubby and I self drive around south west australia for our honeymoon. Really enjoyable minus the hassle of rushing or waiting for other travellers if we travel by tour package. Can spend more time at certain places, eat when we feel like it and also enjoy not having to talk to fellow travellers ;) So now we are planning for another self drive holiday for our anniversary and NZ seem to be perfect.

janislac 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2006 i think south island of NZ is better. Auckland is the biggest city of the country, hmm.... actually nothing much to see. I heard the scenery in South Island is superb. If i go, i would like to go in winter, so far i still havent see snowing day. Didn't even have a chance to go to Rotorua when i was in NZ for 4 yrs. Well, still in High School and no $$ to go. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May i know what season for that period in NZ? which month is for spring and autumn season? Is china a good place for honey moon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cutiepiggie 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 yes i fully agreed , nz must be a place to be visited esp queenstown. another one of the major attraction is franz josef, where u can see the glacier and even do some climbing of course with a guide bringing you along. i can' termember maybe picton, you can catch a whale watching too. the places i mentioned are all located in south island. dunedin u all may skip it cos it's very small small town. christchurh is a bigger city and milford sound is a MUST also Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janislac 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 Can actually go to both places, NZ & OZ. Fly with Air NZ lo. I checked the fares b4 with Reliance. KL->S'pore->Melb(dun know can fly to other city or not)->Auckland->Melb->S'pore->KL, is 4k something. If you wanna go to south island of NZ then just go NZ only. I think the domestic flight fare isn't cheap also. Well, north & south island is big enough for u to travel. For NZ & OZ, Jun-Aug = Winter (July is the coldest) Sept-Nov = Spring Dec-Feb=Summer (sometimes it's hotter than M'sia) Mar-May= Autumn OZ's weather is very unpredictable, sometimes you can have 4 seasons in one day. Not sure about other cities, at least Melb's weather is like this. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
