新西兰南岛自驾，求攻略不知道几天时间比较合适？
2014年12月带爸妈和2岁的娃去的
刚好有个行程单。租的Apex 的商务车。从墨尔本转机是因为当时阿联酋航空的机票便宜。
| My Itinerary | |||
| Day | Remarks | ||
| 1 | Sunday, 30 November 2014 | Singapore - Melbourne - Wellington | |
| 2 | Monday, 1 December 2014 | Wellington - Piston - Nelson | |
| 3 | Tuesday, 2 December 2014 | Nelson (Wilson tour) | |
| 4 | Wednesday, 3 December 2014 | Nelson - Pancake Rocks - Greymouth - Fox | Helihike at Fox Glacier was a great experience. There is a 50% cancellation rate due to weather conditions, so try to budget for 2 days there if possible. Also, weather generally is better in the morning, so a safer bet to book morning tours. Alternatively can just do a helicopter tour over the glaciers and mt cook. Franz Joseph caters for similar activities, but fox also has the famous lake matheson (best view at reflection point viewing point), so we chose fox. There is also a glacier track near fox (5 min drive from the village) where you can get pretty close to the glacier terminal. Get a map from the fox glacier guides for those spots |
| 5 | Thursday, 4 December 2014 | Fox | |
| 6 | Friday, 5 December 2014 | Fox - Wanaka - Queenstown | Lake Wanaka was really nice (on the way from Fox to Queenstown). There are two ways from Wanaka to Queestown, go by the longer way (crownwell I think), passing by arrowtown which is nice. We had a too short time in Queenstown, wish could stay longer. We stayed at Villa Del Lago which is HIGHLY recommended. fantastic lakeview. There is a place called glenorchy north of queenstown which is supposed to be very nice and a place called paradise near glenorchy. We did not go due to time constraint. Note the road from glenorchy to paradise may be hard to drive |
| 7 | Saturday, 6 December 2014 | Queenstown - Te Anau | |
| 8 | Sunday, 7 December 2014 | Te Anau - Milford Sound - Te Anau | Milford was very nice as well as the road from Te Anau to Milford Sound. A few famous stops including the mirror lake (see map on the right). BUT, milford sound rains 200+ days in a year, so luck is important! |
| 9 | Monday, 8 December 2014 | Te Anau - Lake Tekapo | Dec is the lupinus season in NZ, so pretty nice at lake tekapo with the lupinus in front of the famous good shepherd church. If lucky, could see milky way in lake tekapo. Try Astro cafe on Mt John with breath-taking views. You can do star gazing at the Mt John observatory. On the way between Queenstown and Lake Tekapo (nearer to Lake Tekapo), you will see lake pukaki which is gorgeous! If you have time, drive from lake tekapo to mt cook village as well. A few tracks there. Hooker Valley (3hr return) is a famous one with a great view of Mt cook at the end of the track. When we were there, it was strong wind and rain, so we did not walk to the end. a pity. You can also stay one night at mt cook village (hermitage hotel looks pretty decent and with good mountain view). |
| 10 | Tuesday, 9 December 2014 | Lake Tekapo | |
| 11 | Wednesday, 10 December 2014 | Lake Tekapo - Christchurch | |
| 12 | Thursday, 11 December 2014 | Christchurch - Arthurs' Pass - Pete's Farm - Kaikoura | Really nothing much in Christchurch, so don't plan too much time there. We stayed at focus motel which is good value for money. Kaikoura is great for fishing trip. |

| 14 | Saturday, 13 December 2014 | Kaikoura - Piston - Wellington | |
