More about New Zealand costs
Traveling to New Zealand is economical, as long as you're cautious about how you spend your money. Tasting the country's cuisine will cost an average of 16.00 NZD (11.74 USD) in cafes while more expensive restaurants charge a minimum of 30.00 NZD (22.01 USD) for main courses. Budget travelers who only eat out twice a day and stay in affordable motels or B&Bs only need about 130.00 NZD (95.40 USD) to 150.00 NZD (110.07 USD) daily. Bringing the kids doesn't really cost extra since museums, cinemas, and transport offer discounts for their age. Free attractions are offered to keep the young ones entertained.
Backpack travelers can survive on 75.00 NZD (55.04 USD) a day in hostels and eating self-cooked meals. A little more comfort will cost 90.00 NZD (66.04 USD) daily. Travel costs become less when you split the bill with a large group. You can also save more by staying a night or two in free camping sites. The only costs incurred from camping are for showers and laundry. Just don't stay too long since multi-day camping is an uncommon practice.
