Hotels

New Zealand is one of the top destinations in the world. Travelers come here for the beautiful nature, adventure and culture. No wonder that New Zealand has been chosen as the setting for Lord of the Ring trilogy.

General information

Hotels in New Zealand are diverse and include options for all budgets. There are luxury 5 star hotels, boutique hotels, as well as cheap hotels for those on a budget.

In general, prices are determined by the hotel’s category and the season. If you are heading for the mountains or the sea, the prices per room change as the season changes.

The ski season lasts from June to November, so that’s when the prices are at their highest at any of the hotels in the mountain resorts.

Although most of the summer resorts offer some activities year round, the peak months for the beach resorts are January and February, so expect the prices to change accordingly.
