Hi, I so enjoyed your trip round NZ. I am English and have family at Christchurch, Oxford and Nelson. My partner and I visited the south island in 2005. We stayed with our family (3cousins) who took us out to many places and then we hired a motorhome for 2 weeks and toured the south island. It was so beautiful and I'm really hoping to go there again. Your photos were brilliant. The sea and lakes really are that blue aren't they and I recognised many of the places that you went to. We went in the month of October, I believe the same month as you did which was their Spring and we had some lovely hot days during that month. The only thing was that it was horrible having to come home to the winter just starting in the UK. I hope you enjoy more travels.

Thanks for this blog, great pictures. I am travelling to New Zealand next month and will be visiting Rotarua. Can I ask did you have any problems in booking tours via the hostel? I am not keen on pre-booking and wondered if it's ok to book on arrival?
