New Zealand News
Travelling by motorhome in New Zealand offers you a flexible itinerary and a freedom to decide each day as it comes. Some planning will help make the best of your time, especially driving times and finding the best evening camp spots. Camping is very popular with New Zealand families, particularly in the summer school holidays (mid December until the end of January) where some campgrounds are fully booked a year in advance. Most small towns have a campground facility and those on the popular travel routes may have a couple to choose from.
In addition to the commercial camps there are over 120 campsites administered by the Department of Conservation (D.O.C.). These camps are usually pretty basic in facilities but often occupy idyllic and remote locations on beaches, lakes and rivers.
I would recommend purchasing a copy of NZ Camping on arrival (there are separate books for the North and South Island) and ringing ahead to book each day in the summer. Motorhomes will have brochures supplied from the Top 10 and other Holiday Park groups but often the smaller private grounds or DOC facilities have a more unique setting and are worth driving a little further for.

Australia News
We have some suggested short break itineraries on our website - take a 4 day break in the Hunter Valley Wine area and the Blue Mountains with stylish B&B accommodation and rental car included from A$638 per person.
Or how about a 5 night driving and sightseeing package from Melbourne to Adelaide, around the Great Ocean Road and including Apollo Bay, Port Fairy and Mt Gambier? We have some great accommodation options through this area, for couples and families.
The Sunshine coast is a great place for families and a driving trip from Brisbane to Noosa and Fraser island over 5 days with only an hour or so of driving each day and lots of beach stops and sightseeing works well if you are traveling with children. With an average of 7 hours of sunshine a day here, it's the perfect spot for a mid winter refresh.

Australia Specials
If you are planning a short stay in one of the main centres, check out the special rates available on the GINZ.com link below for Hotels, Guest Houses and Serviced Apartments. Search by city, date, rating or price range. The website provides plenty of details about the accommodation including availability for your dates, a location map, photos of the facilities and the special price available for booking online.
GINZ.com recommends hotels on our website which we have visited and found to be very suitable location wise and of a standard we ourselves would stay in. For example, The Grace Hotel in Sydney – an elegantly restored, heritage-listed art deco hotel right in the heart of the CBD. Designed with the traveller in mind, it features a state-of-the art business centre and in-room technology, a fully-equipped rooftop fitness centre, spa, sauna, steam room and lap pool. The hotel has a full laundry and dry cleaning service, 24 hour room service and a selection of room types.
In Melbourne, we like the Fountain Terrace. Located in a peaceful, tree-lined street of cosmopolitan St.Kilda, just a short walk from exciting Fitzroy Street with its wonderful restaurants, cafes and nightlife and one of the most famous beaches in Australia. Fountain Terrace has 5 beautiful rooms all with private ensuite facilities.
Villa Donati is also a very stylish alternative to a hotel in Melbourne - regarded as one of the finest Melbourne bed and breakfasts, Villa Donati, with its cool, classic, exterior and chic, contemporary interior offers luxury accommodation in a great inner city location.

Pacific Island News
Pacific Island Specials
The Islands of Tahiti are perfect for a dream honeymoon destination and the following resorts have that special X-factor to create wonderful wedding and honeymoon memories.
Tahiti is the main island in a chain of archipelagos with 118 islands in total scattered over an area the size of Europe. Probably best known for its multi-coloured lagoons, lush vegetation and tropical flowers, Tahiti has been immortilised by poets, writers and painters over the years. Other islands include the stunningly beautiful Bora Bora, Moorea, Rangiroa and Huahine where pineapple plantations cover the mountain slopes and white sand beaches border crystaline lagoons.
See our Bora Bora Honeymoon brochure in pdf format and visit resort accommodation options for Tahiti including Le Meridien Bora Bora and Pearl Beach Resort.
