Motuoapa Bay Holiday Park
1.5/5
$40NZD for 2 Persons and 1 night on a non-powered site is just too much, even in the summer holidays.
The owners don't give you a place and the tent sites are very rare. There is only one shower for men and one for ladies (couldn't find more). Toilets are kind of old but clean. Kitchen has no plates etc but was very clean and tidy. There is a BBQ as well. Would not spent one more night there!

Hipapatua / Reid's Farm Recreation Reserve Free Campsite
4.0/5
One of the last really free campgrounds, not just for self-contained.
Clean toilets, good for a few days. Really close to Taupo. Lovely river right in front to swim with clear water. Pretty full so come early when you want a good spot!

Queenstown Gardens and Lakeside Track

Nice activity for a sunny day.
You can buy a frisbee from many shops in town to use there.

Wellington Cable Car
4.0/5
Lovely and old fashioned for a small price.
The light art in the tunnel is made with love for details. Nice to combine with a walk through the Botanical Gardens.

Red Rocks Track
4.5/5
Easy walk (30-40 minutes one way), with impressive rock formations.
Careful on hot and windy days! Wear long trousers because of the sand, which gets blown on your legs.

Zealandia Eco-Sanctuary
3.5/5
Cost a little money but you can see lots of New Zealand birds.
When you want to see Kiwis it is best to go at night!
