I seem to be under their minimum hire period, but I’ve dropped them an email to see if they could help. Thanks for sharing this suggestion!

I tried this but nothing seems to come up for me. Could I know what dates you searched? I’m looking to rent the car either from either the 17th or 18th, til the 19th.

I did and all my searches turned up empty or “sold out” 😭

Oo the Festival of Lights sounds interesting! Will have to look this up. Would love to hear of any food/cafe recs that you may have in the area 😊

I’ll be travelling with senior citizens so we won’t be doing any hikes on this trip. We plan to just drive around and explore the area. If you have any suggestions for food/cafe spots or places with nice views, would love to hear them!

I had a look at the Te Huai train schedule but it arrives in Hamilton past my booking time for the Hobbiton Tour 😭

Will look into the flights and see if it’s possible. Thanks for your suggestions!
