I will be visiting New Zealand for approx 14 days (could be a little more or less depending on what I decide, my options are pretty flexible) at the end of Janurary through the middle of February.
My question pertains to hostel booking and transportation around the country. I have done plenty of research on both. I am planning on flying into Auckland and out of Christchurch. I'm not too keen on a travel-tour bus or anything like that, I was looking to just sort of go with the flow and figure out where I want to go on the fly. I just feel like it would be too hard to stick to a strict itinerary. I am looking at booking a hostel in Auckland for a couple nights and then just heading out. I know it is the busy season so I am worried about not being able to find space in hostels throughout the country because I really won't be able to book ahead because I don't know where I'll be and when. I was also just looking at taking a bus from destination to destination rather than buying a pass. I just wanted to get some input from others and see if my ideas sound good and what to do about hostel booking.
