was in the south island for three months in 07.
Christchurch is ok for a start, but drive down to Queenstown and stay there, visit MiIlford Sound etc. it's beautiful. Lots of cool stuff to do from Queenstown. A must see.

nah it's cool, you'll enjoy the drive from Christchurch, the roads are fine, and empty most of the time. It is a longish drive but totally worth it if you're going to spend a few days down there, which you should do. I hope the weather is good mate you will love it.

I LOVED New Zealand and am very happy for you. It is a beautiful and amazing place and that's the best way to travel there. Definitely go see Milford Sound.

My brother went on a lion tour on the back of a truck where they feed them right next to you and climb over within a few feet.

I remember it being a pretty misty day when we visited Milford Sound, still stunning though, and the captain of the boat was from Grimsby.

Wellington is awesome, it's the home of Flight of the Conchords and the seat of much of NZ’s movie industry (Peter Jackson and Weta Digital).
Lots of good web companies are based here — SilverStripe and Resn are two that might sound familiar to you guys overseas.
Naturally I’m slightly biased being a Wellingtonian of 5 years now.
- If you want sunshine, golden sand beaches and good fishing go up to Northland at the top of the country.– thatboyneave

As long as you don't become one of these so called "freedom campers" that have been causing some fuss lately you should be alright.
Make sure you get down to Invercargill. The place Mick Jagger famously referred to as "The arsehole of the world!"

South Island is the go if you have 3 weeks. Milford Sound is beautiful. If you like extreme activities Queenstown is the place. Lots of amazing wineries too around Otago.
If you like hiking book yourself on one of the great walks - the Milford Track is the poster boy but be ready for wading waist deep if it's wet. The Routeburn is also very good but the best of these 3 is the Holyford Track IMHO. There's only one company does this and they fly you out over Milford Sound at the end - everyone's a winner.
And if you get to Te Anau (if you go to Milford you will be nearby) head to the cinema, it was built specifically to show 'Shadowland' and it's awesome. http://www.fiordlandcinema.co.nz…

There's too much to say here really, I'm from Auckland, but in three weeks you can pretty much drive the whole length of the country and see just about everything.
North Island:
- Auckland
- Taupo
- Rotorua
- Gisborne
- Wellington
South Island:
- Marlborough Sounds
- Abel Tasman National Park
- Kaikoura
- Queenstown
- Te Anau + Milford Sound
- Fox + Franz Josef Glacier
- West Coast
Avoid Christchurch as there's nothing there you won't have already seen in Auckland, just keep driving through to Queenstown. You MUST go to Milford Sound in Fiordland, one of the Natural wonders of the world.

I used to live there. Look for a place up north around the peninsula called 'pauanui' something like that. Beautiful quiet little beach..
