5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing rough about this!!!, 5 Oct 2008

By	Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Rough Guide to New Zealand (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I recently spent some time touring around New Zealand and this guide was my constant companion(as well as my wife).For your money you get an extemely comprehensive guide to one of the most beautiful countries in the world.From the lush green farmland of the north island to the barren desolate stretches of the south island "Gods own country" has it all.

Each area is dealt with in separate chapters and each chapter begins with the "highlights" of the area,so if the highlights dont appeal keep driving! You will find the history of the more interesting places contained in this guide ,not a full on history lesson mind you but just enough to impress the wife with until she picks up the guide for herself ,then the game is well and truly up!The maps are basic but are enough to keep you on the right track.And the accommodation listings are helpful if one finds themselves pushed for time and needing some shut eye.Included aswell are a brief selection of bars,clubs and restaurants,you probably wont go out of your way to seek them out but the average prices are included so its handy for comparative purposes.With New Zealand being the adventure capitol of the world this book is jam packed with madcap things to try ,if you can think it up the kiwis have it,as always prices are recorded in the guide.To sum up this is a great guide to a great country.The highlights on the north island for me were :The Lion man in Whangarei and Rotorua for the Maori experience and on the south island:The beauty of the Southern Alps the Glaciers and Wanaka also the fun filled Queenstown for adrenaline junkies. I could go on but i wont ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute bible for any traveller, 20 Jan 2008

By	I love tigger (London, England) - See all my reviews

This book was invaluable during my travel around the islands. I thoroughly recommend it. The advice on hostels and hotels was spot on and became my bible for deciding where to visit and what to do. I also heard from others I met travelling that they rate it over other similar guide books as they are more `frank' about their advice on the standards of places to stay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rough Guide to New Zealand, 1 Feb 2009

By	Catherine Roberts - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We used this guide for our family motorhome trip around New Zealand. It is clear and easy to understand. There were several points in it that led us directly to things that we would otherwise have missed.The book is full of helpful information in an easy to access format, logically laid out. It is easy to pick out the area that you are visiting and see what there is to do and see both there and nearby. OUr trip would have been poorer without it. (This was not the only guide we took but it was by far the best)
