how much time do i need to visit new zealand

One of Mt Taranaki’s many walks.

When is a good time to visit New Zealand

Anytime is a good time, right? Ofcourse we’d say that but it’s true! We have sun in the summer, and snow in the winter, the best of both worlds.

New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere, summer is from December to February and has highs of around 25°c. From June to August, temperatures hover between -3°C and 15° C with an increase in rainfall, or if you’re in the Alpine regions such as the central north island near Taupo, or more likely the Alps of the south island you might be lucky enough to experience snow.

Travelling during the shoulder season is a great opportunity to avoid the popular periods of summer or winter in the alpine regions, and can be more affordable. Spring is from September to November with temperatures ranging from 2°c – 17°c whilst Autumn (March to May) experiences milder weather, 15°C to 20°C.

 

How much time do I need to travel around New Zealand?

Ideally, a month or longer is the perfect time to explore New Zealand. Although we’re a small nation, there’s so much to do that the longer you stay, the more you can experience.

A friendly hostel, both in terms of staff and guests. Kitchen was fairly standard, so nothing to complain about there. The ensuite in the room was a nice touch. The location, being very close the water front and inner town, was great. Overall, I would recommend.

Had a great time here good vibe people mingling having a beer and a laugh together. Good for solo travellers. Great location and staff were awesome. Does get very loud being above a bar, so if you fancy somewhere for a nice peaceful weekend away then it’s not the one!

Great Hostel with great people. We were there for one night. Clean rooms, kitchen was clean and had everything that was needed. There is a great outdoor deck on the second level that overlooks the beach/town that is a great spot to hang out. Would certainly recommend to anyone who is looking to spend a night in New Plymouth

The location is awesome. Close to the coastal walk's center. The facilities were okay. Shower without a lock, no lockers at all, the mattress wasn't really comfy either. The staff was super friendly and engaged in various conversations, which was nice. They also have a cute dog. Staying there for two nights was okay, but it felt weird leaving all my valuables in the room, where anyone could access them any time. They do offer to lock your stuff in their office though. Also, there seems to be a pub close by, which means it can get quite loud in the rooms.

Haven’t stayed there but the staff was nice enough to inform us of the noise upon online booking as it is located above a restaurant and a bar. It’s obviously going to be loud on New Year’s Eve. They cancelled it for at no cost. That’s really appreciated. Thank you ?

A great stay here for 3 nights, the service up front was super welcoming and very helpful for giving me locals advice, thanks Rob. Rooms were what youd expect for the price, were clean and comfy though (I had a mixed dorm). Wasnt too loud although rooms are near alleyways where the loud people tend to wander on saturday nights so beware. I didn't think it was an issue. AC in our room was soooo good for summer. Finding kitchen shelf space and fridge space was hard but it was long weekend so I assume thats why. Great location eith plenty to do, hired the bikes for $10 half day, super cheap, they are cheap bikes though but fully worth it when you ride the waterfront. Would come again.
