Good variety of animals - unfortunately some were in rather small enclosures.
Good place to see Kiwi before they are reintegrated to the wild.

Seals everywhere we stopped.
Pups at the waterfall. Beautiful freedom camping beachside at the Meatworks.

3.5/5
Brilliant ski field.
Easy access road. Car park attendants are absolutely clueless, bad communication and no discount (discount was advertised) even though we had a Mount Hutt season pass.

Great guide, good organisation and equipment.
The glaciers were bigger than expected. Smooth heli ride and plenty of time on the ice.

Best organisation and customer service in New Zealand.
Good snow and a long ski season. Tricky access road, depending on conditions.
