Suggestion for New Zealand Holiday Activities?

Question by slynl83: Suggestion for New Zealand Holiday Activities?
I and my family will be visiting New Zealand for three weeks end of this year, and we’re planning to drive from Auckland to South Island, and then fly from Christchurch back to Auckland. Would appreciate recommendations for the must-see, must-do and must-stay in NZ!

Thanks

Leaving Auckland go to Taupo Huka falls and Waitomo Caves. If Rotorua appeals to you then go there as well. You could drop the car off in Wellington and spend a couple of days there then pick up another car in Picton that way you don’t pay for the car on the ferry. While in Wellington take the cable car which is in a lane off Lambton Quay and when at the top you will see the Views of Wellington and take a stroll through the Botanical gardens. also Te Papa museum. When in Picton go over the hill on the right hand side when coming into Picton this is Queen Charlotte Sounds and drive to Nelson out to Motueka and on to Kaiterteri beach it’s beautiful out there. If you have time in the South Island drive down the West Coast through Franze Joseph and Fox Glacier to wanaka and Queenstown. While in Taupo you could stay at DeBretts where there is hot pools http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CB4QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.taupodebretts.com%2F&ei=PMQWTJvPF8qHkQWl6aGdCw&usg=AFQjCNF73yYXlcaa_gPLYl9A1GDEelS4sA Spend one week North Island and 2 weeks South Island
