Be sure to view our budget for New Zealand in our Itinerary and Budget section. Below are our expenses and how they compared to our budget (in USD):
Flight Cost: $1,148 versus Budgeted: $1,800. We were fortunate to find an inexpensive flight to Auckland.
Cost of Campervan and Gas: $1,574 versus Budgeted: $1,550
Cost per day: $61 versus Budgeted: $70.
We were able to come under budget in New Zealand even though we stayed longer than anticipated and did more activities, partly because we only paid a few days of accommodation.
