New Zealand July / August?

Sneachta

Hi all,
Just looking for any advice on visiting NZ in July/August for 5/6/7 weeks?

Who to book flights with?
What to bring?
What to do?
Where to stay?

Thanks in advance :-)

Do you have to come then? It will be middle of winter so you won't see NZ at her best They're some pretty open ended questions you asked...what do you like to do? What to bring....bring clothes and normal things you'd bring on holiday jumpers and hats if you're coming at that time of year.

Shop around for flights, all the airlines often have specials, try ebookers or sta travel to search multiple airlines.

What to do/stay...so much to list, should be good skiing that time of year and lots of nice scenery to explore, take a look at http://www.newzealand.com/ or grab a lonely planet book.

Hi ya thanks for reply yeah that is the only time I can go.
I would love to go during NZ summer but have been told it is still well worth going, can you recommend things to do places to go at time of year?
