New Zealand is rich in untouched nature with rivers, beaches, white water rapids, mountains, trekking paths and numerous land and water sports for both kids and adults. One of the biggest benefits of moving to New Zealand was exposing our kids to the love for adventure. Migrating is a huge adventure in itself and we’ve learned many things along the way. Last year, my sister and I along with our partners and our kids all decided to move to New Zealand from the Philippines. So we went with them and it was really the best decision we’ve made for the trip. I’ve done some research and based my decision on pricing, quality of vehicles and review and I’d have to say that Wilderness Motorhomes was the company that always topped that list. There are many motorhome rental companies in New Zealand, offering vehicles ranging from small two-berth with no permanent beds, to bigger six sleepers with permanent beds at the back. Third, it’s simply the perfect vehicle for a family roadtrip, even when you have young kids travelling with you. Second, you have the luxury of waking up to sunrise by the lake - a view you’d have to pay a hefty sum for if you were renting a room. You can wake up any time and just drive off from one spot to another if you are freedom camping - no hassles of check in and check out from hotels. First off, it gives you the independence. If you’ve never been in a motorhome, it is quite a terrifying idea– but once you get used to being on the road in one, you’ll want to spend the rest of your road travel days in an RV. They say its the best way to see the country. One of the most iconic travel experiences you can have in New Zealand is taking a motorhome trip. It’s such a magical setting, especially with buskers singing carols.ĭefinitely worth a place on your Christmas to-do list in NZ.Ĭheck out the gallery of Franklin Road Christmas Light houses after the jump.

It’s about a 15-minute leisurely walk going one way and another 15 going up the other side of the street. It’s a pretty short and safe trek for families - you’ll see a lot of mums and dads with little kids on their shoulders. You can see the lights by simply driving down the street but walking the road gives you an even better view. It’s best to see it when it’s fully dark at around 9pm. The area is popular for its impressive Christmas lights display, courtesy of the residents of the tree-lined stretch of road.įor the last 20 years, it has been a community tradition to turn on the festive lights from the 1st of December until Christmas Eve, from 6:30pm to 11pm.

Looking for something free to do in Auckland for kids this Christmas season? A visit to Franklin Road in Ponsonby is always on the top of the Christmas to-do list in this part of New Zealand.

If there’s one place in New Zealand here you should spend money on souvenirs, this is it. It also doubles as a store where you can purchase professionally handmade items at very reasonable prices. You can take photos of the life-size reproductions, so don’t miss out on snaps with Smeagol, Lurtz the Uruk-Hai, and the opportunity to place your head under the foot of the troll in the entrance. You know you’re there when you see two huge troll just outside the wall, and one inside. Entrance to the Weta Cave is free. Weta Cave is in the unassuming (but pleasant) suburb of Miramar, just at the bend of Wellington Central’s harbour, past the airport.
