In reply to Frank. Thanks, Frank! As people talk so much about the South Island, we had tempered our expectations about the North Island so we were really amazed by its beauty and fun character. Always recommend that people spend a bit of time on both islands.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad photo of New Zealand. Good job showing off New Zealand’s “B” side 🙂

@Cynthia: Wow, you are certainly the New Zealand expert then! Raglan was a lot of fun – good feel to the place, nice people and awesome coffee. And if you like to surf (or want to learn), it’s one of the best spots in New Zealand!

Great article! Brings back a lot of memories. I’ve been to NZ 10 times. Love it! The North Island is awesome. 90 Mile Beach, Pahia, Rotorua, Tongoriro, all great sights to see. I haven’t been to Raglan yet or to Stewart Island. Raglan looks really interesting. Loved the photos! Keep up the great work you two.

@Kilee: We’ve heard good things about Coromandel, so it’s on the wish list for next visit. We had such good experiences and memories from the North Island – hard to imagine a trip to New Zealand without seeing it!

Loved this post! I agree that it would be foolish to visit New Zealand and not visit the North Island, I’ve found some of the most beautiful spots up here! Definitely visit the Coromandel next time you visit NZâ€¦ it’s paradise!

@Barbara: Can definitely understand why New Zealand is on the top of your bucket list. We’ll continue to write more about the South Island in the next couple of weeks, so keep coming back for more information.

@Ces: That’s the amazing thing about New Zealand – it has all the amazing mountain and shire landscape as you saw in the movies, but also incredible beaches. Hope you enjoy them for yourself soon!

New Zealand is a must-visit place for me and my partner simply because of the LOTR & The Hobbit. Didn’t know that beautiful beaches and other attractions can be found there too. My heart is overwhelmed with joy. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
