New Zealand
You don’t have to go far in New Zealand to see what all the fuss is about. For starters, the knock-your-socks-off scenery is simply breathtaking: snow-peaked mountains and wild coastlines, deserted beaches and volcanic cauldrons of thermal mud, deep fjords and island-studded bays. Were locations ever to be awarded Oscars, New Zealand would have a sideboard groaning with them. And wherever you choose to travel here, you’ll discover the delights of its legendary food and wine. Two weeks B&B, with car hire and flights into Auckland and home from Christchurch, costs from £2,399pp; Travelbag (travelbag.co.uk).
