Has anyone been to New Zealand recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use

I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

This matches my experience. New Zealand is great value for money.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.
