New Zealand South Island Guide & Map
Hey, I’m Ross 👋🏻 After months of exploring the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island, I’ve created the ultimate 14-day loop itinerary to help you plan your perfect road trip, whether you start in Christchurch or Queenstown.
Feeling overwhelmed by the South Island?
Not sure how many days you need, which direction to drive, or what you simply can’t miss? I’ve been there. That’s exactly why I made this guide, to give you the confidence, clarity, and insider knowledge you need to plan your dream adventure without the stress.
Why this guide will transform your South Island trip:
✏️ Stress-free planning
Skip endless research. Follow a ready-made, day-by-day route packed with handpicked highlights, must-see stops, and smart tips that take the guesswork out of your trip.
🗺️ Explore with my interactive digital map
Access over 150 pinned recommendations for hikes, scenic lookouts, campsites, cafés, and cosy stays, all tested and approved. The map works seamlessly on your phone, tablet, or laptop.
⛰️ See the very best (with plenty of flexibility)
From snow-capped mountains and turquoise lakes to dramatic fjords and golden beaches, this guide ensures you don’t just scratch the surface. Every stop is chosen to deliver the most unforgettable South Island experience possible.
🏡 Travel like a local
I’ve packed in my favourite hidden spots, quirky detours, independent eateries, and unique stays you won’t find in generic guidebooks.
👨👩👧👦 Made for every type of traveller
Solo explorers, couples, families, and groups will all find tips that suit their style, plus an interactive map with 150+ pinned locations.
🔄 Flexible route options
The guide is designed for a 14-day loop, but it’s easy to adjust if you’re travelling slower, faster, or only tackling part of the island.
What you’ll get:
📘 Instant download – PDF guide
A beautifully designed, easy-to-follow PDF filled with practical advice, local tips, and route guidance. Updated regularly so you’ve always got the freshest info.
🗺️ Interactive digital map
150+ personally tested places to see, eat, drink, hike, and stay, all pinned and organised for easy mobile use on your road trip.
🛠️ Need a custom route?
If you’re short on time or want something tailored, I also offer a custom itinerary service. Whether you’ve got 7, 10, or 20 days, I’ll map out the perfect South Island adventure for you.
