Hired car in Wellington, travelled to South Island with 4 adults in car. Went to Franz Josef for heli ride & as far south as Queenstown, up to Lake Tekapo (snowed overnight) & back to Wellington. Absolutely beautiful in winter

Wellington is a GREAT city. Very hilly, some tricky roads and conditions - Be Cautious.
Remember - once out of town, New Zealanders DO seem to enjoy tailgating you...!
