You will enjoy it so much, so much to see you need four to six months I think. Great free camps, all over the place, some of the little towns are wonderful. One of our favourite places was ****le Creek,we camped not far before the bridge into the national park there, walked out to the cape, blowing a gale, but worth the walk. Had Christmas at Lagoons Beach, just out of Bicheno, had a great time, some locals gave us some fish, which was delicious.
