When I am having a stressful day I find myself coming to this video, especially for the opening scenery. It is just a peaceful calm that is hard to find in this age.

Being a kiwi, I tend to be somewhat critical of how visitors film our country. In my opinion, this is one of the best videos I have seen....well done. You captured the aura of one of my favourite places here. Mount Cook was a special place to my English born late wife.. So much so that the mountain is engraved on her headstone... Thank you for posting this, a really good quality video..☺☺

There's a real purity in New Zealand . It's actually not an easy thing to find in our world anymore. It's a unique place because it is so far away from the rest of the world. Thank you again for bringing this small piece of paradise to us.

I visited New Zealand more than 10 years ago and it remains the best trip I've ever taken. I lived in a small VW type wagon, bathed very similar to Micheal ( only one week) . If you dare try out canyoning and glacier walking. Zorbing in the upper island was great fun. The most beautiful place I've ever seen. A very special place.

Also, the drive to Milford has spots to stop at that are purely magical. There is one spot as you go up that looks like an elven forest, with everything covered in emerald green moss and lichen, which opens out to a cold, windswept but beautiful lake Can't remember the name sorry, but it is a rest stop on the left heading to Milford.

We saw it after 3 inches of rain and it was magnificent. Haven't visited the North Island yet, so that's on the to do list :) Have fun. P.S. we found the people are lovely as well.

South Island has the best scenery in my humble opinion :D (Yes, I'm a proud Kiwi) And to answer someone below, no there isn't a bridge between the Islands lol..you take the ferry (cars go in the hold) And in response to someone else (seriously, I hate Google+) New Zealand has a small population, but is about the size of England (in land mass) Our population is a little over 4 million. That's what makes it such a unique country, so MUCH open space and untouched land. Middle Earth is God's own :)

MckinneyMini I absolutely do, and I never take living here for granted. We are very very blessed. Not only do we have a beautiful, clean country, we have a first class health system that is fully funded and that IS something to be bloody grateful for. And when you do finally get here, you'll take away a piece of New Zealand in your heart :)

Depends what part you go too, North Island is warmer than the south generally...NZ has a little population, only 4.5 million so it's very uncrowded.
