New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific Ocean between latitudes 34'S and 47'S. The country runs roughly North to South with mountain ranges running across much of its length. The two main islands cover 266,200 sq km (103,735 sq miles) which is about the size of Japan or California and slightly larger than Great Britain. Vacations in New Zealand help tourists discover the spectacularly beautiful landscape that includes vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests. The region receives thousands of tourists every year and has developed a huge lodging infrastructure with several accommodation options such as New Zealand holiday rentals, hotels, vacation homes and holiday homes in New Zealand.

New Zealand has a population of only 4 million, making it one of the world's least crowded countries. There is an uneven split between both islands with 3.2 million in the North but only 800,000 in the South. New Zealand holiday rentals are a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playground for thrill seekers and adventurers. A temperate climate with relatively small seasonal variation makes it a year-round vacation destination. Browse New Zealand holiday rentals and holiday homes in New Zealand today!
