On South Island, traffic drives on the left and hire cars are the usual way to reach places like this. New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, so campers should pack for shifting conditions. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture, worth trying during a stay.
