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

"I loved the small-town feel at Finlay Jack's in Taupo — it has a huge kitchen, a big common room, a spacious patio with BBQs, fun and welcoming staff, bike rentals, and a super-friendly hostel dog; the updated pod-style beds make it easy to get a great night's sleep." - Matthew Kepnes
