Travel to New Zealand and stay in an Auckland hotel

   Believe it or not, before the Lord of the Rings trilogy, New Zealand was the traveler's dream. From the lush green fields dotted with sheep to the amazing snowcapped peaks of the Alps, the country covers all that you can imagine. Tourism has picked up since the movies and you can even take tours of the filming locations... But you know us, we like to stray from the pack and make our own adventures! Here are the tales from New Zealand...
