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
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Is New Zealand worth visiting?

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

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