One-way campervan road trip in New Zealand is an exciting and rewarding experience
Heaps of travellers prefer a one-way road trip in New Zealand as it allows to see them more. One-way travel allows you to cover more ground and see a larger portion of the country than you would on a round-trip itinerary. This is especially advantageous in a country like New Zealand, which has a lot of geographical diversity.
And the biggest advantage of one-way is that you don't need to retrace steps. You're always heading somewhere new, which can keep the trip exciting. You don't have to spend time driving back through areas you've already seen. New Zealand is renowned for its diverse and beautiful landscapes, from stunning beaches to magnificent mountains and lush forests. Travelling in a campervan allows you to take in all these sights at your own pace. You can stop wherever you want, for as long as you want, and really immerse yourself in the beauty of the country.
As you'll be travelling by campervan you don't need to worry about finding accommodation or dining out for every meal, which can save you money and give you more freedom. It definitely is a unique experience that you wouldn't have otherwise. You'll wake up to a sunrise close to the beach, have a picnic in the middle of a forest, or stargaze from the comfort of your own bed.
A one-way campervan road trip is also more cost-effective as you're saving on accommodation costs, which in New Zealand can add up quite quickly, especially during peak season.
Best one-way route in New Zealand: from Christchurch to Auckland!
Starting from Christchurch in the South Island means you'll get to experience the dramatic alpine landscapes, including the Southern Alps, and beautiful locations like Queenstown, Fiordland, and the West Coast rainforests. As you move to the North Island, you'll witness a change in scenery with geothermal sites, stunning beaches, and vibrant cities. This progression can make the trip more exciting and varied.
Generally, the South Island is cooler than the North Island. By starting in Christchurch and heading north, you're gradually adjusting to warmer temperatures, which might be more comfortable, especially if you're not used to cold weather.
Urban ending to your road trip as Auckland is the largest and most bustling city in New Zealand and offers a wide range of activities, dining, and shopping options. Ending your trip here allows you to indulge in some urban comforts and entertainment after your nature-filled road trip.
