The location of the hotel is good. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to get to the center. The lake is at the door. For one night it was ok, but unfortunately not more.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11068\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11068\" src=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19.jpg\" alt=\"Rydges Lakeland Resort Hotel, Queenstown, New Zealand, South Island, On Your Own, Travel Report\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/neuseeland\/road-to-milford-sound-19-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11068\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our room at Rydges Lakeland Resort Hotel<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"all-travelogues-from-new-zealand\"><\/span>All travelogues from New Zealand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\nFor 11 days we explored New Zealand from north to south by rental car on our own. We started our trip on the North Island in the city of Auckland, we experienced the tremendous underground forces in Wai-O-Tapu and Orakei Korako, we explored the capital Wellington, drove across the New Zealand Alps, did a glacier hike on the Fox Glacier, before we finished with a trip through the UNESCO World Heritage Site Milford Sound. New Zealand is a really beautiful country that we enjoyed incredibly.\r\n<div class=\"a10\"><br><\/div>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bilder\/sonstige\/route-neuseeland.jpg\" alt=\"Reiseberichte New Zealand\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/>\r\n\r\n&#187;
