I want to save up for a special family holiday to New Zealand?

Question

Because of school holidays we would have to go in August. What's the weather like then? What city/places to you recommend to stay at?

Answer 1

August is the last month of winter and as such is cold early morning and night time , it can be mild in the North Island with day temps of 15c The South Island is colder with early morn frosts. Best get a brochure from your travel agent as my views may be biased ! Auckland however is great but The Bay of Plenty is too , Rotorua is worth a visit . A week there is not long enough however !
