What a pleasure to drive a classic Saab convertible in the South Island of New Zealand, covered 2,000 trouble free kilometres in seven days with two passengers, having the soft top down and experiencing the sights into Milford Sound was just incredible, you see the whole landscape, not just a view from the window!
This 450km loop based encompasses some great treats for all the senses, all within easy reach of Christchurch.
Relax in the Hot Springs of Hanmer with spas and massages, activities and retail therapy too. Then drive cross country to whale watching at Kaikoura, tracking alongside some stunning coastal vistas, combined with all the activities, dining and culture available in Christchurch itself and you have a superb drive.
