Beach houses
Those who are drawn to locations on New Zealand's beautiful coastline and at our favourite coastal holiday destinations, baches and beach houses are a popular choice of accommodation. 'Bach' is a colloquial New Zealand term describing a holiday house or beach house, offering a temporary sanctuary from everyday life. Most New Zealand beach houses are owned by ordinary Kiwis and are available as short or long term rental accommodation.

Campsites and holiday parks
Camping grounds and holiday parks are a great alternative to backpacker lodge accommodation, offering the chance to stay in some of New Zealand's most isolated and beautiful areas. Camping allows you to stay at beach, lake and park locations. This is a popular option for families, couples and groups of friends. You'll usually have:

• A choice of tent sites, cabins, caravans or motel style units
• Shared facilities, including showers, toilets, kitchen and laundry
• Possible added extras, such as a games room, outdoor barbecue area, swimming pool or playground

With a lively community atmosphere, many camping grounds are great places to meet other holidaymakers. Find New Zealand camping grounds from Northland to Southland, and everywhere in between.
