I was born and raised in New Zealand and have explored my beautiful homeland top to bottom. This guide contains over 700 of my favorite places worth exploring with an emphasis on the natural beauty of New Zealand.

You'll find amazing hikes, waterfalls, mountains, caves and beaches as well as photographic landmarks like lighthouses, gardens, and flower fields. I have also included a few of my absolute must do tours, unique accommodations and favourite restaurants.

This guide is the culmination of years worth exploring New Zealand and I am so proud of it. I know my guide will help you make the most of your precious time travelling in New Zealand, whether you're a local like me or you're visiting our shores for a once in a lifetime holiday.

One of the most comprehensive guide for places to visit in NZ. I have lived here for a while and I am surprised to find so many places that I haven't yet been to or heard of !

Good to see that you have been to almost all of these places and have hand picked these locations. Makes it soo easy to plan a weekend getaway or a month long trip.

Keep adding more places in NZ (if thats possible :) )

This really is a brilliant guide, packed full of secret places you’d never know existed. Well worth the investment for our 2.5 week South Island road trip.

This has been a great resource for helping me break down a plan for our trip in December! I found some spots off the beaten path that I never would have known about otherwise that I am looking forward to exploring!

This guide was so helpful in keeping us flexible and helping us find really interesting things on and off the beaten path. Our favorite hike we did we found because of this guide!

Brilliant! I love it! Your guide was super useful to plan a little trip over the weekend and even find cool things (waterfalls) close by that we had no idea existed! Am looking forward to using your guide to plan our Christmas/New Years Road Trip, can't wait!

We stayed one month in NZ and the best highlights/moments were based on Ashley’s interactive map. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful places and amazing local tips. We have seen so magical things thank to Ashley!
