Tipps aus erster Hand
The best time to travel to New Zealand is in the summer. The weather can be very cold and rainy during the other seasons, but in this county the conditions are always unpredictable. So if you want to have more chances to get good weather, you should definitely visit in the summer, which is from December to February. Remember to always pack a raincoat and some warm clothes, even in summer, because the wind can be very strong and rain can come at any time.
Unfortunately in Northland, and all New Zealand, public transport is not so common. You have a few buses, and they don’t reach all the places that deserve a visit. The best way to visit these places is to rent or buy a car, even better if you opt for a van or camper van. This way, you are free to go everywhere, and you can stay at camp sites, saving a lot of money. You can download the apps Campermate and Rankers to find all the camping spots available in the area you are visiting.
Reisehinweise
New Zealand can be quite expensive. Eating out at restaurants every day will quickly add up, but if you cook your own food, it’s not so expensive.

A way to save money in accommodation is sleeping in campsites with a van or a tent, they are usually super cheap, sometimes even free!
