North Island is groovy, in a different way. More podocarp forests, rather than beeches. And way more hot pools, geysers and boiling mud! :-)
That holiday of yours sounds fab. If I get stinking rich one day, I'd like to have a place near Nelson (where my ancestors originally settled in the 1840s) or the Marlborough Sounds/Picton, and then commute to Wgtn occasionally for civilisation. :-D
