In total, we spent €1,167 during our stay in New Zealand. In detail, this gives: €160 for food, €179 for activities and miscellaneous and €828 for transport and accommodation. Unlike other countries, we here gathered transport and accommodation because we were camping in our van.
The little tricks of DRDM
Around Wanaka, try the Isthmus Peak hike! It is well worth the (much better known) Roys peak and, in addition, you will have the impression of being really solo on the way.
To cross New Zealand by van, try renting a certified "self-contained" vehicle. You will then have access to all the campsites without fearing the rangers, which was not the case with notre van Wicked...
