Hi! I want to share my humble experience and itinerary during my road trip in South Island, New Zealand in the summertime. I traveled with my mum. Only the two of us. I drove thousands kilometers along South Island's scenic route all by myself in 8 days. I rented Nissan Tiida from Shoestring Rentals ( for NZD 586 for 9 days which includes the full coverage of insurance.

I started out my journey around 7 a.m. and ended up around 7 p.m.

2019 01 01 NZ South Island - Surat Bay
What could be more beautiful than pure nature – pristine beach, wild animals and no one around, just us! That could be easily found in The Catlins area.
There are amazing lookouts – like Florence Hill or Nugget Point, stunning waterfalls – like Porakaunui. Town are picturesque – the main one, Owaka has population of hefty 303! There are pretty bays, like Surat or Roaring Bay, where it is easy to spot sea lions, seals or even incredibly rare yellow-eyed penguins. It is also the corner of New Zealand which is closest to Antarctic, so do not expect warm water :).
