Customer Reviews

Disappointed to put it mildly
We were very disappointed with this book. We have recently returned from a months holiday in New Zealand And found the book very little use. The information on campsites was virtually non-existent and the same on restaurants closing times. The fact that NZ restaurants close very early was not mentioned. Fortunately Britz, who we hired the campervan from included an AA guide which we found very useful and would recommend.

Just the job
I made this New Zealand Lonely Planet purchase (print Sept 2008) solely because the previous print that I held had been updated. On balance, this was a wise decision this time, as the layout had undergone a change - an improvement, and the entries for activities, tours, and sleeping etc reflected the latest position. The only downside, albeit minor when you got used to it, was that a section of 32 pages had been bound out of order in the book. I couldn't be bothered to complain as I was shortly due to leave the country with the book.

Travel guides are great
Great to find that this guide for NZ is as good as all other countries I have ever bought. The accommodation guide is superbly laid out and it all makes easy and interesting reading. Always would recommend LP as they do so much research, hard to fault.
