top Tips for travelling to New Zealand
Napier has wonderful art deco buildings. Instead of white water rafting as an adventure, head to Waitomo and try black water rafting, which will take you underground into the caves. The Te Papa Museum in Wellington is a great place to learn about Maori culture.
