 Highly Recommend December 24, 2005
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I made a mistake and bought the Essential New Zealand AAA guide before I had discovered this series. That was an error, that book is very short and lacking in most of the details.
I think the best two books are this and the Lonely Planet book. I prefer this book because the phots and graphics are just outstanding and the pictures jump off the pages.
The book has good maps, restaurant guide, some accomodations, culture, history and more. Again the best thing is the photos. But the book includes cutaway drawings and history/political time lines.
Just a great book. Use this book with the local telephone directory plus I recommend an up to date trail/road map(s).
Useful, all around guide October 24, 2005

This guide was recommended by friends with family now living in NZ.
I am interested in facts, not scenic views and this one seems to be a good compromise.
 As for accomodation guides ... September 22, 2005

Hi all -
I note that people have mentioned this guide is short on accomodation listings. The New Zealand Automobile Association (AA) and a company called Jasons both provide very detailed accomodation guides which you can pick up in NZ when you arrive. I think both of these are actually free too.
Hopefully useful information from a resident Kiwi ... enjoy your travels!
large scale two-sided map August 22, 2005
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
North island on one side, South Island on the other, in scale of 1:1,000,000. Elevations are color coded and roads clearly indicated as expressways, highways or major roads. There are enlarged inserts of Aukland, Wellington, and Christchurch. I haven't used it yet because we take our trip later this year. However, I have inspected it and it appears to have everything I consider useful in a map.
Beautiful book March 23, 2005

This is a beautifully produced book, full of photographs on quality paper. (As a result, it is a surprisingly heavy book at 1 1/2 lb.; those who like to travel light may prefer a different book.) It is very comprehensive, listing most cities and sights, and has a color-coded organization that's easy to use. Its weakness is that it lists fewer accommodations and restaurants than a mostly-text guide such as Lonely Planet would give. We used this book on our 5-week trip and it was a pleasure to use, and is now a great reminder since it has photos of virtually everyplace we went.
