New Zealand Road Trip Itinerary: 2-4 Weeks (Updated 2025)

"I stayed about ten minutes from the glacier at Chateau Backpacker & Motels and enjoyed free homemade soup every night, free breakfast with homemade waffles and pancakes, two communal kitchens, and a hot tub, which made for a cozy stay after glacier excursions." - Matthew Kepnes
