For those of you a little hazy on geography, New Zealand is made of two main islands; the North and the South! Both islands have an abundance of stunning scenery, viewpoints, national parks, interesting towns and cities as well as wildlife that you just won\u2019t see anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the distance, most people take a few weeks to explore the country.  However, if you want to pack a lot in to a two-week New Zealand campervan holiday, we recommend that you stick to just one island. You can make it round both islands in two weeks if you really want to, but in our experience, you might find that your driving to sightseeing ratio is weighted the wrong way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This two-week New Zealand South Island itinerary is a looping route that you can just as easily do clockwise as anti-clockwise \u2013 it really doesn\u2019t matter which way round you want to go!\u00a0\u00a0It starts in Christchurch, which is the biggest city on the South Island and where, handily, you could pick up one of our Christchurch campers for hire <\/a>to begin your adventure! Or start a bit further south in Dunedin and rent Fred<\/a> or Rubi<\/a> (you can follow the same route).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this New Zealand road trip, you\u2019ll take in lakes, glaciers, national parks, coastal views and mountains!  What more could you possibly want out of an epic 2-week holiday in New Zealand?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore Christchurch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might well have gone to New Zealand to take in the sights and sounds of the epic countryside.  However, we totally recommend you spend at least a few hours in the city of Christchurch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
