Getting to the Waipahi River Home

Currently, round trip air tickets from Los Angeles to Auckland or Wellington are available for as little as $800-$1200 for late 2005. Naturally, prices fluctuate and to get the best rates you should book flights well in advance. Once in New Zealand, cheap Air New Zealand or Quantas commuter flights can easily get you to Invercargill (a 11⁄2 hour drive from Waipahi River Home), Dunedin, or Queenstown (both about 2 hours away). Major rental car companies operate from all of these regional airports. Advance visas are not required for US citizens to enter the country, only a passport, and the tourist visa they give you at the airport on arrival is good for a 3 month stay. We will provide you with a detailed map to the house, which is easy to find, so you will arrive without problems.
