It's everywhere, and it's telling entire generations of people how to travel the world.' - Fairfax Media (Australia) Review: highly recommend for a traveler. - Very good resource to use for understanding New Zealand and how to plan and enjoy the country. Good details. Review: Appears to be very comprehensive - I've skimmed Lonely Planet New Zealand, and I like its format, especially the numerous itineraries at the beginning that give suggestions for how a traveler might want to divide up their time there, depending on the time available, one's interests, etc. The chapters look well organized as well. However, until I actually travel there, I wouldn't be able to rate this guidebook on its accuracy

a little dated, but super helpful in navigating New Zealand
some of the prices have increased from last printing and one or two new things like restaurants not in the book, but otherwise pretty accurate and super helpful for planning a trip to New Zealand. By the way if you have never been, definitely go, such a cool place. We enjoy holiday park tent camping, you don't need much in the way of kitchen gear or a full ice chest as they have refers and full kitchens with usually some pots and pans available or rentable. Do bring a warm sleeping bag, especially South Island, as even in Summer the nights can get a bit chilly.

Very helpful and full of good tips
Very helpful. We had done research before our trip, but the guide gave us lots of goodies of places to visit and things to look for. Very glad we bought this book. Will look for other lonely planet guides for future trips!

Packed with great information
Wow - this is an amazing resource. They really break it all down in great detail and even provide tips for books and movies to see/read before your trip to give you a sense of place. Just can't recommend this highly enough.

Best book on NZ for travellers
Best book out there for travel to NZ Have bought past years and treated it like a travel bible. This was a gift for a dear friend who will travel there

Not especially useful
I bought this book to plan for an upcoming trip to New Zealand. I began reading it, and it soon became apparent the it really wasn't helping me make decisions on what areas to see, and which to pass on. Instead I did some searches on the internet for what interested me (mostly hiking) and was able to devise an itinerary much more quickly and easily. I will bring the book along on my trip, so it might yet be useful. But so far, it hasn't been.

Great guide for getting the most out of a NZ trip.
Used this guide to plan and do a 6 week tour of NZ in 2020. It was one of the best and smoothest trips I have ever done. NZ has so much to see and do and this guide helped me get the most out of the tour.

Disappointing and misleading edition picture provided.
Delivered me a different book which is also 13th edition but there are no maps attached very detailed black and white boring book. Disappointed. Looks like a cheap xeroxed book.
