Well this will be the last time we could enjoy a extended holiday before our DD starts her Pri 1 next year, thus we will be going to south africa (3 weeks) during sep holiday.

I don't mind, but I have to think of the majority, who will miss you in this forum, cause you are not allowed to bring your laptop along, total peace and relaxation only

I am bringing my son back to Forest Adverture again with his friends. It's a great place to let the young children have their tastes of outdoor adventure with safety in place, thus parents need not worry about that.

No plans for Term 3 hols but already planning for Term 4 hols. We wanna do a self-drive in New Zealand South Island - 15 days in all, with DH and 2 DS. These days, with the wonders of internet, it’s a breeze to plan and book everything - electronically! Some say the aniticipation is already the beginning of the fun and I AGREE!


Any tips from anyone about driving in NZ or taking a self-drive holiday with 2 young boys (age 5 and 8)? We had done self-drive in Perth when we only had our elder boy. This time with 2 boys, it could be a totally different ball game??

We did a self drive to New Zealand South island with DH and DD when she was 3yrs. its one of the destination we would want to go again. You will enjoy the beautiful landscape. Most of the places we put up at self catering apartments, its easier as I would cook for my DD as well as we could do our laundry.

South Island is beautiful and Dec timeframe will be just great!! If you love wine, go to the Malborough region. There's endless choices of apartments or cottages you can rent, which is better than a hotel cos with young ones, kitchen and laundry with dryer come in very handy. Dont have to pack so much clothes cos can wash easily.

We went for a NZ self-drive holiday with our then 15-month old twins and had a great time. Yours are older so shouldn't be a problem....at least no need to pack diapers !!

Lake Tekapo is beautiful. Blenheim, Queenstown. And for once, you see more animals (errr sheep actually ) than humans!!

At Blenheim, Malborough region:
= The Vintners Retreat is just perfect and wonderfully serene. Imagine looking out to a vineyard, not a car nor building in sight....you dont wanna go home!!

For your kids, try a Farm day tour - feed the goats, milk the cows, collect chciken eggs, be a farmer for a day! Or stay at a farm...

If you're going to or passing by Nelson, highly recommended is the Last Straw Cottage....check it out here:

Happy planning!! :drool: :drool:
