The purpose of the New Zealand destinations forums are to provide a place where we can all share information for those who might be visiting a new area or location. If possible keep each location in the same thread and just add to it. Your post will initially show as pending & be made live once approved by the admin team to enure the threads are concise and informative as possible.
