Hi everyone, what’s a good place to find short term rentals in Auckland? Around 3 months

Heading to new Zealand dec 21-jan 21, coming from Brazil via Chile, if anyone wants me to bring stuff from latam hit me up!

Planning to go through Christchurch, queenstown, Auckland, possibly Taupo

Also looking at a short trip to Australia, maybe a new years music festival if anyone has recommendations?

BTV sold out on presale. Rhythm and vines (NZ) have their final release - last few years have been wet so camping onsite can get messy

has anyone done new zealand or australia without a car?

Hey, im from both Australia and NZ and its really not possible for the best experience. Its nothing like europe for transportation. EU you can get buses and trains to almost anywhere, but Aus and NZ you'll be stuck to main cities if you dont have a car. Even getting to smaller cities isnt so easy without your own car.

If youre alone and planning to stay a while, youll easily meet many travellers in the main cities, and many of them will do road trips around the country where theyre looking for friends to join to split costs, so if youre social and adventurous, thats the way.

In saying that NZ is very hitchhikers friendly, Australia i wouldn't recommend it

thanks, i had looked it up and found some trains so i was hoping that would be it but everyone says otherwise

Yeah they have some bare minimum train lines but its not gonna get you to the good spots.

If your heart is set on seeing aus/nz dont let this deter you, you can still see and do alot but it would probably prove frustrating as you wont get the classic experience. These countries are best when youre hitting the road in a van, out of reception just cruising in nature. If u want ease of travel to see many places without a car, go europe, its so well connected and plenty to see

Just my 2 cents :)
