The drive from Lake Tekapo to Wanaka again takes you through even more gorgeous scenery including Linds Pass. It's an easy trail for motorhomes and caravans and a great road trip.

Lake Tekapo is described as picturesque by day and dazzling by night and that is exactly what it is. One night really isn't long enough in this amazing location named as part of the UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve.

Christchurch is the second home to TrailLite Motorhomes and Caravans so it's fitting that any southern tour stops in at New Zealand's second largest city.

Hanmer Springs is a great place for motorhomers despite not permitting self-contained camping in the township. They've accommodated with dedicated parking areas, picturesque and accessible day parking spots, dump station facilities and great options for overnight.

TrailLite and Breakfast are on a motorhome tour of epic proportions this week exploring some of the best locations in the South Island of New Zealand.

Featured on many bucket lists is travelling New Zealand and to relish in all the natural beauty the country has to offer. Whether that be exploring the lush rainforests of Westlands National Park or hiking up Mt Tongarairo, there is no shortage of captivating locations to see!
