reason #1

It’s a month long school holidays ! Don’t you think the kids ought to relax and chill from the paper chase?

reason #2

It’s winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Don’t you think you have enough of the heat here?

reason #3

It’s low sandflies and low creepy crawlies season . Don’t you have enough mozzie bites here with all the recent dengue scare? Good time to do freedom camping in the parks and beaches without worrying about getting bites. By the way, most of our campervans come with insect- screened windows.

reason #4

It’s visitors non-peak season. Don’t you think it’s nice not to fight with others over bookings? You don’t need to pre-book every campervan parks throughout your holiday or do advance bookings for attractions.

reason #5

It’s one of the very few places where you can see real snow in June. Don’t you want to lie on the fluffy white snow?

reason #6

It’s the time when rental rates are the cheapest. Don’t you want to  save more? Winter-time deals offer good discounts.

Napier is ‘The place’ if Art in Architecture is your thing. Famous for its art deco in buildings of the 1930s. Situated at NZ North Island, Hawke’s Bay , this city was devastated by an earthquake in 1931 but it was rebuilt quickly while carefully preserving it’s architecture of the classics which still stands today.

Take a walking tour to soak into the era of the 1930s. Every February, the locals celebrate the Art Deco heritage by having a festival where vintage cars and bikes are paraded with people donning clothes of that 30’s era. Activities include outdoor jazz concerts, aerobatic flying displays, steam train rides and so on.

If you think only Singpore has a Marine Parade,  Napier has one too. A favourite place among the locals and visitors too . Walk by the coast, dine, cycle, stroll among flower gardens and if you’re lucky some vintage cars may just come by too.

Room with a view. Wake up scenes. You will only understand if you try it.

You don’t have to pay extra for ‘A Room With a View’ . Most picturesque spots are found in campervan/motorhome freedom camping sites (some of which may ask for a minimal fee of $5 per head count with a DIY honesty box placed at the site).

New Zealand’s Lake Tekapo is known as a Dark Sky Reserve, one of the best places to view the night sky .
It is free of artificial light pollution so the night sky is a canvas for star-gazing. On top of Mt John is an observatory where the Southern Sky is waiting for you to be explored. Earth & Sky conducts twilight tours where you can view through their powerful telescope and see planet Saturn and the Southern Cross constellation. You’ll get a nice treat of hot chocolate at the cafe with some lessons on astronomy.
