The Rough Guide to New Zealand

Rating:
Summary: loved NZ...not the book
Review: This book was somewhat helpful during my time in NZ.

The town/street maps were helpful in navigating--large enough to cover most of the city while still being readable.

The reviews were less than accurate. Most of the restuarants I tried to go to from this book were closed (I understand places close...but the majority of them???). The few restuarants that I found still open were drastically different than the reviews. I wonder if the authors/contributers had been to NZ! One of the places that I stayed at (highly recommended in the book) was sooo horrible that I felt unsafe and cancelled the rest of my stay there.

I was lucky to be travelling with people who had other books on NZ.
